QUOTE (dst @ Jul 28 2008, 09:35 AM)  This is the right choice. Kalac is now our most reliable keeper. Which is... disappointing. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sleep.gif) more like disappointing (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) |

QUOTE (misha @ Jul 27 2008, 11:19 PM) Agreed. Instead of dealing with the problem, Milan brought Abbiati who of course won't solve a thing. He'll be ok when we play Juve as he can go and sing with their ultras (IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif) |

QUOTE GOALKEEPERS ´Dida is working well, he recovered, he is doing a preparation program to avoid any falls, he could be recovered for the friendly game against Manchester. ´With regards to hierarchies, we shall evaluate at the start of the season.´ Then it's not already decided that Kalac will start as the 1st goalkeeper i.e. what Galliani said about the situation was BS. |

That figures. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Kalac was never first team material. For whatever reason he couldn't cut it big enough in any team that he played. Maybe he's one of those guys who take what comes to them (in this case big, fat checks), and are on the standby to be called upon in times of trouble. Second-stringers.
He had his moments though, last season, if only a couple. |

I am not one to attack Kalac, but he did step up for the team. He was there when the team needed him, though he is no Dida, he took his chances and kept the team safe in many instances. The game against Udinese, when Gilardino scored in the dying minutes of the game, Kalac was immense.
That said, he was brought in as the stand in ... So if Dida impresses in Manchester, as he did in the Goal4Africa match, then I believe Kalac wont have any problems giving the true #1 his gloves back. Abbiati is good, but if Dida benched him once, I believe he can do it again. So if there is any conclusion, the ideal one would be Dida vs Abbiati for the first team. |

^^ Exactly. And after watching the goals from the Chelsea disaster...I don't think Kalac would have anything to agrue about.

Abbiati is a fighter... I think. I can forgive him for that thing where he partied with the Juventino *Bleep*s...
Dida... makes me nervous whenever he plays... I like Abbiati's confidence... I always felt more comfortable with him as keeper. Kalac... I trusted at one point before that game... mistakes or not, he blew it. Maybe a bad day, but he was never a class keeper. Never was. He was at best, a back-up for some Coppa Italia game at best. |

QUOTE (Rossoneri7 @ Aug 6 2008, 12:22 AM) Abbiati is good, but if Dida benched him once, I believe he can do it again. Not this time. It's not the same Dida anymore. The Dida that benched him used to be one of the nest around. |

This is what I love about our GKs. We have one who doesn't talk at all, and one who talks too damn much. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/huh.gif)
Kalac shrugs off Moscow misery Tuesday 5 August, 2008 Milan goalkeeper Zeljko Kalac has apologised for his error-ridden performance against Chelsea in Sunday’s friendly. The world champions fell to a humiliating 5-0 defeat on a grim afternoon in Moscow. And Australian custodian Kalac made a compelling case for Christian Abbiati taking the gloves with a dismal outing during which he failed to make contact with a back-pass to set up the third goal. “Football is like that and mistakes happen,” Kalac told La Gazzetta dello Sport. “I went to kick the ball with my left and I prefer my right. I made a mistake but I had never made an error like that before. “I don’t know whether I will be first choice when the season starts but I hope so. It’s not now that I need to be in form.” While Kalac is struggling, Abbiati impressed in the Trofeo TIM, where he was the hero against Inter in a penalty shoot-out. “He is making good saves but I don’t fear competition,” Kalac insisted. “I am just thinking about training well and stopping shots. “It wouldn’t be fair to judge me on the disaster in Moscow and I am ready to bounce back.” (Ch. 4) The bolded part is vomit-inducing. He can so hardly afford to be full of himself at this point. |

And he doesn't mention his other friend who doesn't talk at all. How very convenient. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) He thinks it's still between him and Abbiati. Good luck, chuck.

"performance"... he still thinks he could beat out Abbiati? The guy is clearly out of it. I hope that Santos keeper will push him out of the club. We should get that kid now, and not just letting him stay on loan at Santos another season. I think we should just bring him here now. Kalac obviously is not even fit enough to be 2nd choice. I only view one fit keeper in our present squad. Abbiati. Dida is a massive question mark. Well we shall find out! |

I think he's got his priorities mixed up. He should first practice kicking balls that are in motion and only then think about stopping shots. |
