I don't believe Sahin being more advanced than Boateng will work very well.

Yeah I agree with you. Boateng is a much better player on top of the box than sahin. My main concern is: I just don't think we can go out with a midfield like we did last year, we'll be sitting back the entire game (against good teams).



We gotta use a system that makes our midfield press higher. Since Ibra and Cassano won't be doing any defending we need to win the ball earlier so we can continue putting pressure on them.


We have great forewards, but they need someone to do give them the ball.

Our weakest link, is the defense and midfield. With the exception of TS, we have no one noteworthy. Quality wise, we are far below in those two departments, in comparison to previous teams constructed under the berlusconi era, that is IMO.

Pirlo was not renewed for several factors, namely he did not feature enough due to injury in his last season and his economical demands did not match the clubs strategy. His quality as a player was never in doubt.

All clubs are looking at three years of restructuring, both in terms of the finances&budgets and squad structure. In previous years we could afford teams that had Shevchenko, Kaka, Rui, Pirlo, Seedorf, Gattuso, Inzaghi, etc in their prime. While now that has been reduced to what we have on hand.

Moving forward, Galliani has already prepared for this, thus the exit doors were openned to make-way for the new Milan. I believe we will bring in several good players, as this is what the club needs to challenge. If we don't, its expected that come May 2013, we wont have anything to show for.

Madrid seem very close to Modric. I wonder if they'll give up on Sahin if the deal goes through.

Press said kaka to leave after modric coming in.. imo both could leave but chances of them coming to milan well...

Yeah, apparently Modrić got Kaka's shirt number already, so the Brazilian will definitively leave.

Kaká leaving Real Madrid?

I honestly didn't expect that to happen.

What may his future be?

my money is on PSG

-We are linked with Andy Carrol. Apparantly piersilvio wants him.


-Olimpic Lyon has told M. Cisskho, K. Kallstrom, M. Bastos and Cris that they are no longer needed at the club and to find a solution. Lyon is struggling financailly and is looking to clear some of its dead wood. We are ofcourse linked along with the rest of serie a.

How can our target be De Jong or Sahin? They're completely different players. I really don't believe anything the media says at the moment. Let's get back to it in August.
