This is one of the major reasons why I want us to sell Pato. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) Either the quacks stay, or the duck!

If the quacks stay than all the others will be bound to have another injury filled season, not just Pato

I know. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mellow.gif) But that's how things are. The way Kaka and Ronaldo consulted their NT doctors should have been alarm enough. Little was done then, and little is being done now, even though we have pretty much half of our team in the infirmary as of this writing. Even players I never thought of as particularly injury prone.

If the quacks were doing their job well, we'd have minimum injury times, much faster recovery, and not many recurring injuries. Imaging having a full team (like other big clubs), we'd be storming the castles week in, week out.

All teams have injuries, even the big clubs .. It just differs in our case as everything is under a microscope via MF (IMG:style_emoticons/default/96.gif)

That said, I do concur that our medical team 'might' not be doing their job 100%. But I will not go down the line and state that everything they do is to worsen our player's conditions.

Kaka and Ronaldo have had an injury plagued career, the later forced him into retirement.

P.S. Maybe we need witch doctors at Milan Lab (IMG:style_emoticons/default/innocent.gif)

Nah, the amount of injuries we've had over the last few years cannot be compared to any other big club's. something's wrong with our medical team and if it takes witch doctors to overcome this problem, so be it!

Ehem, we changed the lead doctor, didn't we?

Um, that's why I said little. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif) I mean, with the amount of injuries we've had these past few seasons, it's practically end-of-the-world alarming. It's a good thing (sheer luck and I must say nice coaching and manly performances from the team) that we are still alive to tell the tale.

Take any other big team, and they will have a few players out of order every now and then. But almost half the first XI out, and when they are back, they break down again?! No, sir, this requires some drastic measures. Either get another backup medical team on board for constant second opinions, or change the training regime, anything!

Allegri: "Boateng is recovering, if everything goes well he should return for Parma"

This is just too much! Wasn't it Lecce only a few days ago? Speechless.

Did I misread or did you praise Allegri?(IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

No you didn't. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif) I've said it a few times before, I'm 50/50 when it comes to Allegri. He's got his faults, and sometimes they show really bad, and he may not be an awesome man-manager, but he's a good coach as well. And frankly, how he'd handled the lengthy injuries to key players, without uttering a word has to count for something.

Had we any other person in-charge, he'd probably be brining up the missing players week in, week out.

I have to say, my respect for Allegri is growing by the day.

I still fault his playing philosophy but that's a matter of taste. I'd take him over Leo (the coach NOT the man) anyday.

The way he handled the whole Juve moaning thing, and in a very civilized manner hinted that they should just STFU and play their way to the title was very becoming of a Milan coach. +20 points.

I agree with you Jack. But Leo, the coach, really isn't a challenge.

We've had worse (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Tbh I was worried we would have another Zacch.

But he lost 15 points yesterday for our first half and gained 5 for the second. I think I need to put an Allegri meter in my signature.
