I don't know. Too lightweight! I want some genuine box-to-box players in the mid-field. Ronaldinho and Krasic will leave our defence hopelessly exposed. Flamini is no Gattuso. What we need is an Essien-type.
I think Dzeko----Pippo/KJH ----Pato/R80--------- -----------------Krasic ---Hernanes---------- ----------------Flamini Is creative without being defensively inept. With the fullbacks you've mentioned we need the added cover in mid-field. I don't trust Flamini, the way I do the old Rino. And can we play Rafinha on the left? |

And can we play Rafinha on the left? jack's on point. that line up would be a little too light weight and would get pushed around by the likes of liverpool/chelsea. my personal opinion would be to sacrifice huntelaar from the starting line up, play dzeko as our CF, push abate into a role much the same that Ramires occupies for the Selecao (circa Confed. Cup 09), a combative midfielder who breaks forward with pace and quality, allow Dinho/Clarence/Pirlo to battle for the playmaking role, and play Rafinha on the right and Gianluca on the left. allow Pato, Krasic, Dzeko could forge chemistry in their movements, and dinho/pirlo/seedorf who are all guilty of showing wavering motivation/consistency to compete with eachother with ideally the competition squeezing as much quality as we can out of them. Abate would be somewhat of a midfield project being played there, as there's no doubt in my mind he has the attributes (speed, hunger, competitiveness) but sometimes does show a bit of naivety in interpreting his attacking moves. If he could recreate the performance a la Ramires, we would be one DEVASTATING counter attacking side. --------Dzeko---- --Pato------------ ------------Krasic Playmaker------- ------------Abate --Flamini--------- |

^^ I like this one too. I guess am a bit of a weird one in that I don't rate Flamini all that highly. He's good, but not what I call a world class DM. Maybe it's coz he doesn't have like a 'heritage' or something. I'm such a snob. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)
The problem with the lineup, would be once we lose possession in the opponent's half, I'd like us to have a player who can apply that pressure immediately to win it back. I'm not sure about Krasic, and I suppose Abate can do it, but definitely not R80. Right now, the player I want most to complete our mid-field three is d'Agostino. But since this is Milan v2, we shall instead get Beckham. Meh! I suppose we could do worse. |

Why all this talk of Rafinha? Why can't we play Abate on the right - he's got all the characteristics of a good right back.
In my opinion, we need a left back, a box to box mid and an attacking mid who can take players on. |

And can we play Rafinha on the left? that's what they said about Barca (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) we can out-attack any team with my lineup and Krasic presses alot more then you would think. Dinho only plays well when surrounded by talent and would press alot more if our team could o something with the ball (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |

QUOTE No Milan Move For Adriano Until Next Summer - Agent The Brazilian’s representative insists his client is unwilling to return to the peninsula for the time being. The striker has his eyes fixed firmly on a place in Brazil's World Cup squad... Press reports in Italy are suggesting that Milan director general Ariedo Braida’s recent trip to Brazil was primarily to check up on Flamengo star Adriano’s progress, but the player's agent has ruled out a move until next summer at the earliest. ‘L’Imperatore’ seems reborn in his homeland after rescinding his contract Inter last April. He is currently the top scorer in the Brazilian league, boasting 15 goals to his name, including a brace against Fluminense last Sunday. The struggling Rossoneri are reportedly considering a swoop to take the 27-year-old back to Italy’s fashion capital during the January transfer window. But the player’s agent, Gilmar Rinaldi, says they have different plans. “Adriano is with the national team and we certainly don’t have any official news about [Milan’s interest],” the representative revealed to Sky Sport 24. “I am friends with Braida, but nobody knows anything about this. Adriano is settled at Flamengo. He is capocannoniere in Brazil, even though he has played six games less than other players. “But at the moment he wants to stay put in Brazil until the World Cup. That’s our plan right now: he could leave in January, but he wants to remain in Brazil until May.” Vince Masiello, Goal.com we have started our summer of non-spending yay (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) hehe |

yea it seems like adriano will probably come, and as much of a joke that may have sounded like say 6 months ago, i couldn't say i wouldn't welcome him. he's an excellent target man in that even when he's off form, he still requires one CB's attention, allowing the primer punta (Alex the Duck) playing off of him that much more room to operate in. (alrdy more than hunter can say for himself - that needy (for service) b@stard!)
That said, i'm growing a little weary of being linked to strikers not named Dzeko. are we really going to miss out on this guy - Ibrahimovic without the arrogance?! I say we get both adriano and dzeko, but I can't really see management saying goodbye to the hunter that quickly, would they? all 3 would have high wage demands, we're penny pinchers..what the F. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif) ------------------- Mike, I agree that abate can play right back if we sign an attacking mid AND a box to box mid. However based on their current attitude/comments, do you think our management will spend on our midfield? they seem to think our midfield is still world class! I think Abate could learn the box-to-box role nicely - despite his frame, he's got pace and tenacity - he can close down a man extremely quickly/beat his man with guile and pace/has a SUPERB cross/is mostly a right sided player. I think playing him in a RM role would be excellent. Pair him with a tenacious, pacy RB (Rafinha), allowing them to work out their timing and movements- when to cover for eachother and what not - along with Krasic on the right too? we would send our opposition's left flank back into the 80s with that kind of pace!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/droolsmiley.gif) ------------------- by the way, I love the guy's determination and grit, but is anyone else a bit unnerved by Flamini's penchant for outrageous 2 footed tackles? -------------------- dst - sorry, still in dream world. thanks to milan's performance, my mentality is that of a druggie - better dreamworld than face up to harsh, cold reality.

I agree with just about everything. I definitely find Flamini circumspect.If we do buy a box-box, I'm least worried about his technique. It's important he can shield the defence well. But I think he sees himself as a box to box in his mind, which is a problem coz I don't think he's that good. Like your options on the right...but I think it would be a bit of a overkill...Rafinha, Abate AND Krasic? What about our left? Janku and Zambrotta? Coz I don't trust R80. I suppose Pato can play left, but I think when you've got a scorer, and a young one ,it's unfair to place him on the wings. |

I'm with m1ke on the 'why rafinha' thing. How many people really watch him play in league games? Does nobody have faith in the local kid?
I'm also a little perplexed by the lovefest for FLamini. He's good, yes, but he's also got a tendency toward really rash challenges (ie, in the OM game) that can't be handwaved away 'because he's young'. |

So you don't think Abate has quality as a RB? And playing him in his natural role would mean playing him as a winger, not as a dm. Not even in Leonardo's squad does Milan play with wingers.
