Not counting any injuries or bans, this is how I think we should line up this season with the squad we currently have:

__________________________Dida_________________________
___________Bonera____Nesta____Kaladze____Serginho________
________________Gattuso____Pirlo____Seedorf_______________
__________________________Kaka_________________________
___________________Gilardino____Inzaghi___________________

__________________________Kalac_________________________
_________Simic____Costacurta____Maldini____Jankulovski______
_______________Brocchi____Ambrosini____Vogel______________
___________________Foggia_______Gourcoff_________________
_________________________Borriello_______________________

Rest of the squad: Coppola, Fiori, Cafu, Favalli, Dalla Bona, Amoroso.

Dunno why Fiori is still here he'll never get a game, same goes for Dalla Bona. If Coppola goes I'd want Buffon or Amelia. I think Cafu is on his way out after this season along with Billy, Paolo & hopefully Favalli, so we have to build a defence without them. Hope Bonera will fill Stam's shoes, it'd help if we had Oddo & Barzagli that would be a complete defence. I hope Brocchi & Ambro get more games this season, maybe rest Rino & Pirlo once in a while. The midfield is sorted as it is I hope we don't waste money on Diarra. Foggia plays on the right and Gourcoff on the left (hopefully as well as a replacement for Kaka in the middle) and given that we don't play 4 in midfield (2 holding players + 2 wingers) I think they should only play together in a 4-3-2-1. I bet this'll make dst happy lol. Ibrahimovic is the only one that can try to replace Judas. He'd link up well with Gila & Kaka (or maybe Gourcoff) and that would get rid of Amoroso. I'd wanna keep Borriello though, or if worst comes to worst loan him out.

Without new players this is how IMO we should play:
__________________________Dida_________________________

___________Bonera____Nesta____Maldini____Jankulovski______

________________Gattuso____Pirlo____Seedorf_______________

___________________Kaka__________Gourcoff______________

_________________________Gilardino_______________________
or

__________________________Dida_________________________

___________Bonera____Nesta____Maldini____Jankulovski________

________________Gattuso____Pirlo____Seedorf_______________

__________________________Kaka_________________________

___________________Gilardino____Inzaghi___________________

*I prefer the first option
** I'm too lazy to explain (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

to mishale and milanista1899, we cant play gila and pippo together. it just wont work. with the strikers we have now we can only play them one at a time.

My dream Milan for next season:
__________________________Buffon_________________________

___________Oddo____Nesta____Gallas/Maldini____Jankulovski____

_________________________Diarra___________________________

_______________Gattuso______________Pirlo__________________

__________________________Kaka___________________________

___________________Torres_________ Gilardino________________
or
__________________________Buffon_________________________

___________Oddo____Nesta____Gallas/Maldini____Jankulovski____

_________________________Diarra__________________________

________________Gattuso____Pirlo____Seedorf________________

__________________________Kaka__________________________

__________________________Torres_________________________

With this squad and Ancelotti formation we have to. And we did it last year though it wasn't very successful. As I said I prefer the first one with Gourcoff inside

Guys this isn't it, we still have a couple more players coming in (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/devil.gif)

Of course. It was just for now

They've played well together before and scored goals without getting in each other's way, so they can if need be! But as I said, I want Ibrahimovic to come cos he'd link up better with Kaka &/or Gourcoff + Gila.

That remains to be seen, I hope you're right. I've already listed the players I want a few posts up. (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/devil.gif)

Do you actually think Berlusconi is going to leave this team as it is ?

Highly unlikely .. Have faith (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/king.gif)

No I don't, I just meant we haven't got them yet & I've learnt not to take things for granted. Mate, I've got plenty of faith whether we strengthen the squad or not, even if I'm pretty sure we will. (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) We're not gonna have 3 years in a row without winning anything, we're Milan! we're gonna kick s**t out of everyone Chelsea, Real - bring it on!

That's why I'm here... That's Milan spirit! That's the foundation! It's my whole life! (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/devil.gif)

That's the spirit (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/devil.gif) I want them all this time, Chelsea (for taking Sheva), Real (for messing w/ our Kaka), Inter (just for the hell of it), Barca (Revenge is a b1tch), Liverfool (boy r they gonna wish they never qualified), Bayern (Pippo cant get enough of Kahn) ...

We'll be at Athens come next May (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/devilsmiley.gif)

Normally when we played Pippo and Gila together because of a problem with Sheva, neither of them would manage to score, just go back through the games that we played them together and you'll see that maybe in only 1 or 2 matches that we've played them together either Pippo or Gila scored, we simply can't play the same formation we have been playing if we don't get a support striker, it simply won't work.

I sometimes see potential in Gila to become that sort of striker, he can make as much assists to the forward he's playing with almost as much as Kaka, but he is not ready to play that new role. Maybe in the future if he worked on it, then yes he could become the Sheva type striker, but he definately isn't that right now, he is the Pippo type striker, so we can't play them with each other

Just thought about comparing the now two best teams in Serie A ( considering only the good players ).
