5m for Storari is a solid deal, but I was hoping we'd use it for a Marchetti, Alves, Sirigu type guy. Amelia was kind of a surprise to me....

Seems to complicated anyway. Why not use Storari to get Marchetti?

Anway, Amelia is 28, Storari 33 - and both would eventually be reserves.

Because Storari is too good for Cagliari.

Why would Storari be a reserve? Because he played a better season than Abbiati? Oh, that makes sense.

Because Storari is 33 years old and yes he had a good season, but Abbiati is Milans no. 1; IMO both had good seasons, only differnece is Abbiati has more experience and more good matches in his legs.

Actually, Abbiati barely played a few games this season (although he did good enough in them), so you can't really compare their seasons. But I agree, if I'd choose between Storari and Abbiati, I'd choose the latter.

That is NOT the only difference. There is another difference, namely that Storari out shined Abbiati with ease this season. Storari possible best Serie A goalkeeper of the season, Storari was this season an option for Azzurri squad (before AND after his injury, at Milan AND at Sampdoria). Abbiati not even close to any of these...

Abbiati was on the other hand mostly injured. So, should we base the decision on one season? I mean, if you judge the matter based on just one season Matri is better then Pato because he scored more while the letter was recouperating.

Abbiati played games and he made mistakes, Storari was obviously better. While Pato showed when fit he can score goals better (not as in that someone scored more in a season, I'm not talking about silly stats here, I'm talking about preforming) than any of our other forwards + Matri.

Storari's hell of a season gets no reward it looks like (so sick and undeserved). If Storari really gets benched, then sell him FFS and sign D.Alves or Marchetti.

Anyway, question stays: should we base everything on just one season in which Abbati did not have many chances to play?

If Abiatti can regain form sure, but atm Storari is the man in form, I wouldn't mind if we kept him. Especially if Ameila is his replacement, who has also been a little out of form.

I thought Abbiati was great in the 08/09 season, and had he not been injured, Storari and Dida would have never got the chance to show themselves. It's like Dracoris says, if Abbiati has regained his form, he's a sure starter.

am i the only one to think that marchetti is overatted??? i would take sirigu/alves/viviano/felipe (corinthians)(!!!) before marchetti

Yes, if it's the last season then it's a yes, at this moment there is no reason not to start Storari. Good possibility he will continue doing what he did this season and then it's an obviously good choice to start him. If he suddenly drops form? Okay, THEN you can replace him for Abbiati, but at this moment there is no reason not to start him. Storari showed form for (almost) a whole season and Abbiati didn't.

Would you suddenly bench someone when he's in form?

I'll take anyone on that list lol. I just don't get a good feeling from Amelia. Who knows, Amelia isnt a done deal yet, gotta see him holding up the jersey first.
