Ok fine...sell Pato, bring back Gila. Pato couldn't score against Inter...he's a big game flop. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

Oh, please don't say that. because I know it can happen!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)



I know you love Gila so much to really suggest something like that (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

I say go buy a violet Jersey and support Gila and his new team (IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

It's already been arranged. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

OR, we could get rid of our incompetent head coach, and bring somebody in who does know how to use young players and their confidence. As opposed to Mr. Ancelotti who seems to feed off Gila and Pato being pissed off. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

Most of my friends say it can/will happen. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif) At the end of the day we're Milan, so it won't be an unexpected thing as people think it to be. We've recalled several players like him in the past. For all that matters we might as well see Ronaldo (the real one, thank you) in Milan.

I know there's less than a 1% chance, but like I said this is Milan, AC we're talking about. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Anything can happen!

I have especial dislike for Gila. Maybe only Oliveira is worse.

Is it just me or does he look significantly more confident with the ball on his feet this season compared to... the rest of his career?

We certainly do need that!

FORZA RINO! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/devil.gif)

I haven't seen many full games of Milan lately, but even on the highlight shows he seems to be more composed in posession.. Rino is actually becoming a footballer!

I think he stole part of Pirlo's brain - or has loan of it for a while.

It's simple: he has competition.

I don't think a competetive spirit can improve someones skills in such short times. At least not justcompetition.


@Rivaldo; I never got to the dislike-Oliveira story? That guy had a cameo with us that lasted 1 season. What has he done so wrong else?

Gosh. Awfully negative view of Gattuso, isn't it?

How can that improve his technical level? Besides, he never needed competition, Gattuso is the only player I know off that always gives 100%. And I doubt that's any different in training.

Um, he was out of form. Horribly. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) He had competition before in Ambrosini, though not sustained, but it was competition nonetheless. It's another thing he may have gotten a bit lax because of Carlo's insistence on using half a dozen DMs. Sure he wasn't the same after Athens, but I'd expect a club like Milan to stay with it's player through both good and bad. He still can be very useful for us, at least for the next 2-3 seasons.

When a player like him gets out of form and fitness, it's tough to recover, because frankly the only talent Gattuso has is his iron-man body and never-dying-spirit (though now he's letting some creative juices flow (IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif) ). And the position he plays in sure doesn't help. It's a lethal combo that can instantly break a player. Take Sheva for instance, he wasn't as good in his final year or two, before he left for Chelsea. But very few people noticed because his talent and attacking position saved him. Same with Pirlo, sorry to say this but he was about as bad as Rino in these last year. In Gattuso's case things quickly took a turn for the worse. All said and done, I'm happy for him and his return. He's been consistently improving since our match against inter earlier this year (which we won).

It's true. Lately, I often forget he's not Pirlo. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) Gattuso is doing his best season so far. Not a single bad game. He was also good in the "Edu vs. Cation" match when he fouled Seedorf like... 5 times. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
