Maybe he grabbed Barbie's butt during a conference. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sleep.gif)

This is just ridiculous. And Bonera is our first choice??? God help us.

I love Seedorf so much right know.

Don't think it's about Seedorf, we heard the Mexes to Monaco stories before he was appointed, I think it's about ecomical side. He's earning 4M per year, his contraxt is till summer of 2015 and they want to get some money out of it and save his big salary.

I'm not Mexes's biggest fan and I don't think he deserves 4m. IF they are bringing a good CB in the summer, I won't mind if Rami will take his place till then.

Possibly all true.

Even if that was the case with Mexés, what's the friggin' point of benching him now if we're selling him in the summer? Isn't it much smarter to use him while we have him and have his value increase from good performances?

I think the plan is to sell him this month.

During his Roma days, I always considered Juan the better defender. Juan used to cover for his short comings a lot. Back then, Milan used to dominate Roma. Kinda like how we are being dominated now.

The fact that many on here perceive Mexes to be our best defender is telling of the quality we have on-hand. I for one would welcome his departure, if that means someone of a better quality is stepping in/up.

Mexes is to the defense what Montolivo is to the midfield in this team. Both "best" in this Milan.

The difference however is in disciplinary record and behavior. Monto is usually a good boy, while Mexes not so. That's why I won't be so sad to see his back.

Oh yeah let's sell our best defender and start games with calamity 1 and calamity 2

Yeah genius stuff.

But those are the facts and things aren't changing, because what will happen once we sell him is that we'll replace him with another dud ala Silvestre and we'll be far worse off than we currently are.

Seriously, this is ridiculous coming from you when you've been telling us to swallow this bitter pill for a while now yet you're ok with selling our best CB now because he doesn't come close to the defenders we had in the previous cycle so we shouldn't settle.

The fact is we're never going to have those kind of defenders unless we stumble on a gem ala Thiago or bring one up through the ranks. So why sell someone who's got vast Serie A experience, is a very good defender (no he's not Nesta level but who is? And unless you're willing to break the bank to bring back Thiago you're not going to get someone on that level, period) and he's currently our best, yes our best. We simply don't know what Rami will offer in the long run. Bonera and Zapata in games against Juve, Roma, Inter and the CL ties we've got coming up is already giving me the chills

I've faith in Seedorf, Tassotti and our management on this one. There must be something big going on behind closed doors. It's irrational to discard Mexes just like that, so I'm convinced there's a reason for doing this.

Including rumours that Seedorf dreams of bringing Thiago Silva back. But he has a contract till 2018. So I don't see that happening.

I'm guessing the 'next Silva' from the Brazilian league.

But you chose not to swallow it, so you don't count (IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

And Mexes is not immune to calamities really, Iv followed him for a loooooooong time, hen is nothing special, so I don't understand why your fussing about him staying or going. To me, Id take Udinese's Zapata against Roma's Mexes any day of the week.

But then again, Im not the one making these decisions, you'd have to address the idiot on that (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Even if he isn't anything special, he's our best CB.

It's sad cos I was really looking forward to this Rami-Mexes partnership, instead we're going to have make due with Bonera, Zapata and even frigging Silvestre.
