Cheer up, peeps. He was giving an interview for Max, a lifestyle magazine. Don't get too puzzled by some of the questions/answers.

If we are not half way there that is. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) We sold our soul after the Kaka sale, and when we snapped up bad boys like Ibra, Boateng and that chap called Cassano. Milan went the Inter route, buying prima donnas and that landed us a Scudetto, and almost another one. Yup, we're half way there.

I think that the club has far bigger problems than worrying about El Shaarawy's hair. Just ridiculous that we're making an issue out of it

No; I can't agree with you that Kaka's sale made us sell our soul. Milan's soul is much bigger then any player.


I don't see why it would be ridiculous. Like I said, it's more of symbolic value. El Shaarawy's bad performances should be worrying though, don't you think?

And you really think that'll improve if he shaves off the mohawk???

I think the way he was handled last seasons in terms of how he was introduced to the team was smart on Allegri's part. And he needs to revert to that. Putting him in as a starting striker is just not a good idea. And don't tell me that he should be rising to the occasion because it's not as easy to be young and inexperienced to succeed when the rest of the players on the team who are more experienced then you are are also massively underachieving, and even worse, the massive boots of Ibrahimovic he's trying to fill.

I don't mean selling a player, of course Milan the club is always above any and all individuals. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) It's more about a paradigm shift for the club. After winning the CL 2007 (completely out of the blue, I may add), we tried offloading our best player by far, first to City, and then packaged him to Madrid.

It was during this time, the Maldini incident happened, and the club did nothing. The real damage started after that, an year or so later, when we started signing up bad boys, the ones I mentioned in my earlier post. Instead of being a good, classy club - one that was above all others - we became just another pretender.

And instead of growing young players at home, while creating a classy group of mainstays, and thinking longterm, we now think short term. Maybe longterm didn't bring us enough titles, surely not as many as Inter did while Juve went to where they belonged. It may very well be that Silvio isn't interested in splashing cash. Who knows?!

But surely, the club has lost it's aura, the halo above their head, with the players we signed up these past few years. Ibra did not hurt us that much with his attitude, but Cassano did. And with all our seniors gone, I am not sure the locker room is what it was at the start of last decade. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mellow.gif) Soul's gone, soldier!

My god, I said symbolic.

I'm with you 100%, man, but not really sure people are into symbolism these days. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sleep.gif) Not speaking of members, here of course, but it's free for all in the real world these days. If it feels good, do it. That's their new motto!

New Soul.

I can't be the only one who's been very disappointed with what I've seen from him so far? He has time on his side, but a deal that cost us a decent amount of money, he's really not that good. Fortunately he has a lot of time on his side.

I thought last year he was great. This year no one has been good and I think he feels extremely under pressure to take responsibility. I think he'll come clean.

I think he shouldn't be starting regularly. With Carlo and even SAF, youngsters (at least the good ones)...always came into games at situations which played to their strengths. And then they develop.

To expect SeS to be the new Cassano and Robinho all in one is impossible. I liked the last 30 mins in the CL game that he played. Let's have more of that.

Completely agree with this. SES should not be sarting games regularly. Especially when the team is under so much pressure to perform

Not that I blame Max for this. With Pato and Robinho out, his only options are Bojan and SeS.
