I'm sure that we can at the LEAST get to the quarters, I'm fully expecting us to get to the semis.

We WILL make it to the quarterfinals. Everything else depends on fate and Pippo.

It depends on the draw. Now, I can't see us passing Chealsea and Barca

Anyone knows who Milan will face if/when they reach the Final 16???

They will do another draw when the group stages are over

Monaco and Porto made it to the final in 2004. PSV and Villareal in the semis in 2005 and 2006. It's all about luck, and the draw. If we don't face any between Barça and Chelsea, I think we can make it.

Oh, ok. Thank you! (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

I don't think Chelsea will even go that far this year, first of all they have so much arrogance, (one of our fomer players included) and are thinking that they have already won it.

And secondly



I wrote this on another thread, and personally I still only see Barca as the big contender

Chelsea will be much stronger ,it's just the begining of the season. All friends and contract things are just rumors. We all will be much smarter to judge later on

How much stronger exactly, Ballack doesn't seem like he will ever recover 100% from his recurring injury, the rumors about the unfriendlyness between those 2 have been going around a lot, so I wouldn't totally disregard them as total rumors, with all those stars in one team some unrest between the players is bound to happen for sure.

I know it's early to judge, but chelsea are usually like the Juve (under Cappello) of England they normally start the season like robots. I guess we'll see what will happen but I'm not convinced by them, or Inter, I'm more convinced by Barca and by Real (Real did buy some players they could actually be useful and not just stars ie. Canna, Puma,Diarra and RVN) All players who would work perfectly inCappellos little 4-4-2 scheme

I think we can beat Chelsea!!!

For all I know all is not lost!!!!!!!!!
If we buy Oddo AND Gallas and play the Xtree then this team don't need no extra striker.
I just thought of it but I rate it highly unlikely that Milan are not buying any forward cause they think the same ... (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

It depends on who we get in this transfer market.

Over the past several years Scheva was the one that got us through with some spectacular goals.

With that lethal ability up top, it hard to bet on winning the finals.

THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT I HAVE BEEN SAYING FOR THE PAST COUPLE OF HUNDRED POSTS!!!!!

If we re-enforce the defence with those 2 players then there is no need to get a striker just play the xmas tree with either Seedorf or Gourcuff next to Kaka and we would be set
