QUOTE (han2503 @ Feb 16 2014, 05:35 PM)  I don't think it's unfair to Poli that Essien was signed. Essien is a completely different player to Poli. Imo Poli should always be the direct alternative to Monto and Essien the direct alternative to De Jong. So far when Monto's been out/not picked Seedorf has decided to go with another muscle player in that midfield next to De Jong (Muntari/Essien) and that's what's unfair to Poli imo Essien was needed, we simply can't have a situation where should De Jong be injured we're stuck with Muntari as his direct alternative. He played around 15 minutes against Bologna on Friday and made atrocious error after error, not to mention the lazy @ss walking around I'd agree that they are different players;one sucks, cant speak the language, is SOOO out of form, and barely knows anyone, and Poli will be seen as a second fiddle to the aforementioned. Poli is the most versatile mid we got... |

For me, Essien and Poli are probably our best options as double pivot. If Zee insists on it that is. I seem to remember Poli even playing as a defensive mid for Sampdoria. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif)

Muntari and Essien out for a while.
Montolivo and Abate should be recovered. For Genoa: Abbiati; Abate, Rami, Mexes, Emanuelson; De Jong, Montolivo; Honda, Kakà, Taarabt; Balotelli. |

That's not to say Muntari & Essien's injuries won't affect us down the line! |

Why would they affect us? 1) They suck, 2) we only need two DMs (we have Monto, De Jong and Poli available), 3) we now play only once a week, 4) there's only seven games left.
For all we care, they could stay out till September. |

For all we care, they could stay out till September. They definitely do 'suck'... but they're two of more defence minded MF players used as rotational subs 'Only' seven games remaining at one game a week or not, we are AC Milan, and we will find or make a way to get our players injured! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) Maybe Cristante can recover by then, at least then we'd have numbers to rotate with, defensive or not! |

I actually think Muntari has been a good player for us as part of a double pivot. And Essien is I believe used to that role as well.
So a bit disappointed to see both out. |

Monto out for 6 months. That's what his surgeon said today after the surgery.

In all honesty, I think he can stay. The way Seedorf made use of him was rational and not hurtful.
