Looks like Pippo's got his shooting boots on these days. 2 games, 2 goals. Not so bad for an old guy. (IMG: style_emoticons/default/96.gif)

QUOTE Inzaghi To Sign Contract Extension - Report
Milan goal machine Filippo Inzaghi looks poised to extend his Rossoneri adventure for another season, according to the Gazzetta dello Sport.
Superpippo moved to Milan from Juventus in 2001, after four years spent in Turin, for a fee in the region of €37m.
The lethal marksman’s stint in Italy’s fashion capital has been ravaged by injuries, particularly over the past few seasons, but Pippo has nonetheless contributed a great deal to the Diavoli’s cause, netting 57 goals in Serie A, and scoring a fundamental brace in the 2006-2007 Champions League Final in Athens, that saw the Diavoli lift the prestigious trophy for the seventh time.
The former Parma striker’s deal was set to run out at the end of June 2009, but Inzaghi had always stated his desire to call it a day in a Milan shirt.
And the Italian sports Bible reports today that Vice President Adriano Galliani has offered Pippo a one-year contract extension and, even though he has yet to put pen to paper, the Gazzetta expects the hitman to rubber stamp the deal over the next few weeks.
‘High Tension’ was also part of Marcello Lippi’s side that won the 2006 World Cup, bagging a goal in the third group game against the Czech Republic. I personally don't see it as a good move for the club. If Milan were to treat him as what he truly is, a bonus striker and squad player rather then an integral part of the team then I would have no problem with Pippo extending his contract. But for Galliani to still think of Pippo as a first team player which is important during the entire season will hold us back both from buying a new younger striker. And when Pippo is fit Carlo will play him ahead of Pato or Boriello. It just doesn't sit well with me. Not to mention the other old players we have who will expect extensions since Pippo got one. Players like Favalli, Puma and Pippo imo need to move on after this season. Milan need to let go of the past and start moving ahead. There is no use in keeping these players on and paying their wages when they are out injured for more then 3 quarters of the season.

Every time I thought he was finished he came back, he's a ****ing zombie that guy!

I'm not saying that he should go no matter what. I'm saying that he should only stay if the board acknowledg that we still need someone to cover for him next season whether he stays or not. If they choose to acknowledge this I have no problems with Pippo staying but if Pippo stays and there is no one else coming in, it would mean that Pippo is holding us back He spends 3/4 of the season on the treatment table, someone like him should be counted as a bonus not as a firm regular first 11 player. That's all I'm saying. As for Puma and Favalli, I'm dead serious about those 2, they need to leave next summer we shouldn't hold on to dead weight any longer. Get rid of Puma, do anything you can to bring Yoann back. Get rid of Favalli and promote Albertazzi from the youth team, I've seen him play he's really talented and a bright prospect
