QUOTE (X-Offender @ Aug 16 2010, 05:30 PM)  Actually, the RB ranking should go like this: Zambro > Sokratis > Abate > Bonera > Oddo. Oddo would be the 5th choice, and I can't see Allegri employing him with the overabundance of defenders we have at the moment. What we lack mostly is a LB. With Janku not getting any playtime, we'd be stuck with only Antonini and Zambrotta. 3 out of the 5 players you mentioned are not RBs sure they can all play there, but they aren't really good in that position, which in turns leaves us back in square 1, just Zambo and Oddo for the right, at LB we have Antonini, Zambro and Janku (who is better then Oddo)

This thought of you is SO weird.

I didn't say that Oddo was better then them, I said that none of them are natural RBs and aren't particularly good at playing the position. Oddo and Zambro are our only natural RBs, which is a big problem imo. Being better then Oddo isn't really a large feat, since most of us on here would do a better job then him (IMG: style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

QUOTE (Fishdoll @ Aug 16 2010, 06:36 PM)  *raises a fin* Could I be RB then? I'd look good in red and black! A fish without feet would still do a better job then Oddo, so yes (IMG: style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

QUOTE (CHU-LIP @ Aug 16 2010, 06:38 PM)  But you literally said we got only Zambrotta and Oddo for RB. So why then played Sokratis as RB pre-season? Imo, they are our only RBs. You're buying into the club's scams to make us think we're covered in all areas, when in reality we have major problems. Sure Sokratis can play at RB, and sure Abate and Bonera can be wedged in there as well, but can they do the job well? Hardly. I gave an example of this a few days ago. Look at Sokratis' 2 games in the Emerites Cup. One where he played at RB (against Arsenal), the other he played at CB (against Lyon). He was made to look like an idiot against Arsenal while he looked a completely different player against Lyon. This obviously is because he's not a natural RB, thus he does not feel comfortable playing in such a position.

QUOTE (Kourosh @ Aug 16 2010, 11:25 AM)  I want that Kaladze - Grosso exchange to happen.
First of all, Grosso is a fullback in which we're not covered. Secondly, he's Italian and I have too much memory of him in WC 2006, nostalgia!! Do you remember that celebration after his goal against Germany?!
Don't know what's wrong with Jankulovski though. He just said he has a contract with Milan and he wants to remain even though he knows Allegri doesn't need him and probably he won't play! I don't know what kind of player is satisfied with staying home for a complete season. Or maybe he thinks he will play eventually sometime?
I don't really understand. One thing is for sure, He is going to be hated for this. THAT was what you remember most? You do recall he hit the Cup winning penalty against France, right?

I think that's a much more realistic depth chart. That's how Allegri will use them at least. He could be forced to use the other guys there due to injuries or sub situations in game... but I think Oddo is basically second choice RB right now.

QUOTE (CHU-LIP @ Aug 16 2010, 01:55 PM)  I'm not particularly happy about it. I just think you're ignoring the facts. They just signed Oddo to an extension... do you think they really have him 5th on the depth chart? The other guys you listed are either wingers or CBs playing out of position... and are either as bad as Oddo in general, or in the case of Papa, looked pretty bad in the time they spent at RB so far. I don't think its a great situation, but I fully expect Allegri to use Oddo that way.

QUOTE (Habitant @ Aug 16 2010, 02:34 PM)  the hab is currently in milan right now and is very excited to go visit the san siro tomorrow and the milanello!! btw the fishdoll should know he was also in florence for 4 days and that city is awesome. he also had some florentine steak which is the best hes ever had (IMG: style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) OOOOO! How cool! Hey, lots of restaurants and stuff are closed but the Football Pub on Via Valpetrosa should be open in Milano. A pizza + 1 pint of Stella = 10-12 euros (depending on the pizza. the one with parma ham is more). Hope you're having a super time in Italy! Post pictures and stuff when you get back! Also, +1 (IMG: style_emoticons/default/cookie.gif) for having the steak in Firenze. It is awfully good, innit? Enjoy the rest of your trip!
