Right choice in my opinion. Considering how much crap we put on over Carlo (granted he's not in the same league as Maldini and is a rigid old rabbit), but still Paolo would look better as some one who works with the club, ala Leonardo. (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/king.gif)


About time, I'd say, for Baresi. Not to mention, he's ten times more passionate about Milan than Carlo. Hypothetically speaking, of course. (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

There are also a couple of other options from the youth team coaching ranks: Filippo Galli and Chicco Evani have both been rather successful (Evani's team won the scudetto for the berretti), etc. They're also both family. Additionally, Mauro Tassotti has his coaching license and Billy Costacurta is working on his as we speak.

Billy would be a decent choice too, but I'd rather he had a little more experience, and then by all means he can make himself available. Of course, I'd prefer to see Baresi more than Billy at this time.

I won't mind Lippi either. Or the ex-Chelsea dude for that matter, with all his attitude problems. Someone who can at least motivate the players, which I doubt Carlo can. We should have come in steaming out after the second half yesterday, instead our intensity dropped by the minute.

What we need

a GK
a RB
a CB
a LB
2 Midfielders
and 2 strikers.

Goalkeeper

My picks: Frey, Amelia, Kameni.
Frey is doing good lately, but he is an injury prone (exactly what we don't need) will make us suffer even more when he's out.
Kameni, is a goalkeeper that can make wonder saves, but also concede goals that even my grandpa would held it. He's still young and can become better, but right now we need someone who is able to get some clean sheets most of games.
Amelia is the best goalkeeper in Italy right now, after Buffon of course. I've seen Livorno games many times, and I've seen that he won a lot of points to them.
I've seen him catching the ball like an apple, after an extremely powerful shot was made.
My choice: Amelia

Right-Back

My picks: Zambrotta, Alves, Miguel, Cicinho.
Zambrotta, once the best wing-back in the world, now struggling to find his best at Barcelona, is a great chance for us to get him, considering his homesickness + He does not go very well with Spanish play style.
We can get him on cheap + has 2-3 more years to give from his legs and teach Oddo how to be great in his position.
Alves is also a great possibility for us to get him, after his "every day" comments about wanting to leave Sevilla for a bigger club.
We are a big club, we had his hero (Cafu) here, If our management would be ready to splash some cash out there, I don't think he would reject such a wonderful club like Milan.
Miguel, the Valencia Right-back, has a great potential of being a player.
The unknown-before Benfica player, was the one to steal Paulo Ferreira's place in Portugal's national team.
I like his speed, his dribbling skills and his crosses. Surely one of the best Right-backs in the world.
Cicinho The Roma wing-back, was a starter for Brazil in Confederation's Cup, when they won the trophy.
I was so impressed, when I saw his games, his moves and his ability to pass the player he had in front of him.
I think we can get him too. Watching him most of times as a back-up of Panucci or Cassetti.

Everyone is great there, but my choice would be Zambrotta, considering his experience he has in Italian football.

Left-Back
My picks: Lahm, Taiwo, Vargas.

Lahm Young + Talent.
Always like to see Bayern play, just because of him. He plays like he knows football for ages.
Taiwo is another young defender, with a monster shot and with great defensive abilities to stop a player that comes to his position.
Impressed in African cup of nations.
Vargas the Roberto Carlos of Catania. No need to say more, since everyone that watches Serie A has seen him play.

My choice: Lahm

Midfielders

My picks: Raul Garcia, De Rossi, Cigarini.
Raul Garcia, the Atletico Madrid center midfielder can become a great in years. Would not be a bad choice, since he can replace Pirlo anytime.
De Rossi will sure become Roma symbol, when Totti will retire. I know it's almost impossible to get him, but would really add depth in our squad with his gentle playing style.
Cigarini is surely Pirlo's heir. I could see him giving 101% against us, just to make our management's mind to give it a try for him.

My choices: Cigarini and Raul Garcia since we can't get De Rossi.

Strikers
My picks: Benzema, Aguero, Drogba, Shevchenko.

My choice: Shevchenko and Aguero.

Very interesting choices, Besfort. I'd love both Alves and Zambo, considering the later can Italian can play at both the left and right sides. And oh, I can bet my sweet Google, Shevchenko won't be coming back. It would be disastrous for him after how he left, and to come back now with his tail between his legs. I'm sure he'll stay at Chelsea for another 2-3 years and then return to Dynamo Kiev to end his career there.

But then again, this is football we're talking about, so anything can happen. (IMG:http://www.milanfan.com/forums/style_images/11120244025/folder_post_icons/icon4.gif)

He'll be EC with Italy and stay another 2 years (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/innocent.gif)


Okay. As I said before. I love Zambrotta. But we need speed, youth, freshness on the RB or LB. We need a man who can attack, cross. Zambro isn't bad for that but never the first choice. We need a new Cafu or Sergio. Someone who has a +C/-B in defensive work and a A in offensive...

I think alot of these trasnfers depend on whether we get 4th place. I can't see alot of them wanting to join us if we're in the UEFA Cup (Unless they're already playing for a team not in Europe).

the good side to loseing to arsenal is we will change the team bring in new players am looking forward to the summer now want to see this new milan daniel alves would be a gud start come on milan splash out go back to brazil find us another wonderkid and for the 08/09 season i want a nice kit dont like this years one start feeding pato spuds so he will grow to the height of Adebayor load emerson out to westbrom so i can laugh at his head ina westbrom jersey and finally tell ba to end his carear in hell his takeing up a gud spot on our team......... and finally feed inzaghi he must be bout 2 stone one of these days he will fart and turn inside out (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/96.gif)

Nice one, KingKaka.

The fish doll owes you a cookie for that. (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/96.gif)

I look at this as a nice wake up call. I don't think this situtation will EVER happen again in the history of Milan. You don't learn to be the best without making mistakes.

i like a cookie

Hmm... would not mind Italy winning the EC. But how about we get Donadoni after that? (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)


True. But I believe we will make it! (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

You're the king, KingKaka. But even this one wasn't quite able to lift the spirit of Pola (my pet polar bear). He's been down and out since our match with the Gooners. (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

Don't bet on it. This has happened before (I'm sure older members here at the forum will be able to tell you this), and will happen again. The cycle ends and restarts. Plus, the way our board has been running things expect something similar once Pirlo, Gattuso, Amrbo, etc are nearing the end of their careers.

We'll make it Kurt, my man. We'll make it. (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
