No,I don't.

BS.

With RVP to Man Utd, what would you guys think of Macheda? he almost certainly available, he's young, no doubt wanting to put his utd miseries behind him, and may actually get some playing time here and has much better potential then boriello and Matri combined...

I don't think we need another undefined talent in attack. Pato should be our central striker, and we could use a good, more experienced, backup. Especially if we sign Rossi.

There's a difference playing 4-2-3-1 (Mou's) :



And 4-5-1 (Guardiola's)

If Thomas Müller will be a starter, it will be instead of Robben. Last season it happened, so yes, that's a possibility.

I also am not very high on Badstuber, but I don't expect he gets benched, and he is better than Boateng if you ask me. It's very possible Dante is better than him as well. I've seen a bit pre-season with Dante, and he really looked good. With Gladbach he was very solid as well. Martinez and Dante could be the strongest pair, but also a complete new one. I wanted to name that pair, but it's hard to imagine for me Badstuber getting benched. What the case is now that Bayern has everywhere good depth, and that is what they want to have, I figure.


I am used to call that 4-3-3 (the second one you posted), but now I see the difference which is in midfield (one man behind two instead of vice versa). Unsure why Bayern would do that though.

According to Mediaset Milan will make a move for Schalke 04's Kyriakos Papadopoulos if Mexes Leaves

The Sun reports that there will be a Mexes-Bendtner Swap

Sahin's agent is in Madrid to Finalize his move to Liverpool

According to latest reports, Modric is already on his way to Madrid. Pushing even more Kaka out of Madrid.

Pato arrived at Milanello last night, done custom work in the gym this morning, & will join the rest of the team in the afternoon.

Gazetta reports that Milan will offer a Loan with option to buy for Borriello who is said to be very eager to return to Milan (IMG:style_emoticons/default/puke.gif)

Why the f@ck couldn't we just keep Maxi instead??!!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/realmad.gif)

Indeed.

I still doubt we'll sign Bori or Bendtner, especially both. My hopes are on Rossi, at least I can dream of it for a while more.

I guess Allegri wants a tall, physical striker to throw in for long balls and tap-ins during desperate times. In that regard, I'd take Bendtner over Borriello any day of the week. Too bad about Mexes wanting to leave. Really shows poor character from the guy.

Also, it looks like Sahin's gone to Liverpool and now we'll throw all our efforts (and money) on signing Kaká. I wonder, though, what will happen to our DM situation?

Nothing I guess.

Long balls? Cagliari tactics. Ahh, what the hell, let's enjoy the mediocrity of Bendtner.

Who we have who can give accurate long balls? Not too many...

I think and hope it's mostly to trouble defenders, so that it would benefit other players, easier to score.

Also I prefer Bendtner over Borriello, but hope he gets benched in big games. Against weak sides he'd be useful.

You know what makes me mad?

To be quite frank, I dislike Mexes. He's a dirty player (just remember the Coppa game) all Bonnucci with more class. He's injury prone, relatively old and has an annoying overall appearance.

But with him left we have two veterans, a rookie amateur and one possibly good solution (Zapata) combined with very average fullbacks at best. It will most the definitively be the worst Milan defense since the early 1980's.

So why on earth would we trade a relatively good player who has still more then half of his contract running for a washed out second-rate striker? At least we could try harder, get a better player in exchange or money.

We were playing Pirlo, Seedorf and Ronaldinho and yet Borriello failed to finish the chances he had, and if he's good at something it's that. So if Allegri wants to play with long balls, I think he'd know that there's no way Borriello is the answer. Nevertheless, seeing Pato is doing good as CF with Brazil, I wouldn't be surprised with him playing as a CF with Robinho/Cassano next to him. I still think we're good at that department and we should concentrate our all budget for an attacking midfielder OR a DM.

I don't think there will be lots of activity from Milan till the end of transfer market window. Besides an AMF or a DM, I don't expect anyone else now. But in case we achieve to sell Mesbah and Didac, I expect us to go for a LB and if Mexes gets sold then a CB a real one is a necessarity, but not someone like Zapata and Acerbi.

I don't think so. Not impressed with his finishing skills. The season with Ronaldinho, Borriello and Pato up front, Borriello was there to help Ronaldinho and Pato doing that what they do so well. Borriello was very hard-working, moved a lot, and could hold the ball. Ronaldinho on the other hand was static, so needed someone like Borriello. With Borriello up front he gets attention from (central) defenders, so that Pato has more pace to score goals. Pato scored a lot of goals, and Ronaldinho made a lot of assists, and Borriello helped them doing that. And because Borriello himself was a starter he played many games, which he needed to get in form. I don't think he would make a good sub, and he shouldn't be a starter either.
