QUOTE (X-Offender @ Jun 15 2014, 05:38 PM)  Hopefully De Sciglio recovers soon. Still can't believe Prandelli called only one LB, especially known De Sciglio's injury prone.
He was shaky against Napoli and Juve, that's about it. In no way was he very bad or atrocious. Shaky? No I remember a particular game where he was seriously bad. And now I'm seriously frustrated because I can't remember who it was against, but I know he got absolutely trashed on here afterwards. I don't think that would happen if he was just shaky. Don't know, I'm just going by hazy memories of him, none of which are good

QUOTE (kurtsimonw @ Jun 15 2014, 06:19 PM)  He made it into the Bundesliga XI this season. He did? I didn't know that. QUOTE (han2503 @ Jun 15 2014, 06:58 PM)  (IMG: style_emoticons/default/ohmy.gif) (IMG: style_emoticons/default/ohmy.gif) He was atrocious for us. And personally I don't think he'd have reached that level with us had he stayed a million years I don't think he ever was that bad. I too remember a couple of bad games and overall he didn't play well enough to deserve a starting spot but he was still alright. We should have been more patient as he had showed great promise and he was only 23 I think when he joined us which is still young for a defender. He play what, a dozen games for us?

QUOTE (han2503 @ Jun 15 2014, 11:53 AM)  I'd prefer to see what he does for the rest of the competition before declaring that we need to bring him back.
I'd like to see what he can do next game if DS hasn't recovered that is and play him on the left and Abate on the right with the Juve duo in the centre, I think that would be a much more solid back 4 for Italy +1 QUOTE (han2503 @ Jun 15 2014, 12:07 PM)  Agreed, and I personally don't want to see us waste money on a player who we've already given up on once. Just ridiculous that we're producing these players from our youth teams, letting them go on co-owns on the cheap, and then spending big money to get them back. Once the ship has sailed I say we should just move on
If we're going to spend any money on a FB this season it has to go on Santon. That's the only young FB around right now who I can see getting in ahead of either Abate or DS should they have another rotten season of injuries and bad form This is the last season where co-ownerships would be allowed in the league, so we should see much more idiocy with respect to that in the future. (Thank God, as I shared your sentiments!) Regarding Santon, have you seen him play recently? Has he improved since leaving inter? QUOTE (Forza Milan! @ Jun 15 2014, 02:39 PM)  Saw this earlier... Hopefully this kid is given the time needed to mature. QUOTE (X-Offender @ Jun 15 2014, 03:32 PM)  Let's hope this guy justifies all the hype he's produced. *fingers already crossed* Patiently looking forward at what the kid has to offer.

Like I said to x-off, I'm going by hazy memories of him, which are mostly bad, I can't claim to remember every game he played for us, but my general perception of him from said hazy memories is generally negative

QUOTE (William405 @ Jun 16 2014, 10:58 AM)  I remember though he only got to play a couple of games(Sokratis)... I also remember us blaming Allegri for not playing him after that horrendous performance. (Not enough chances etc..) What do you guys think about Astori? He said he'd do anything to get back to Milan. His contract expires in a year, so he should be very cheap. Personally, I don't think he's anything special..and we're pretty much covered in the CB region. http://football-italia.net/50599/agent-astori-wants-milanIf we're going to let go of Mexes, plus the fodder we have back there in defence (Zaccardo, Silvestre), I'd take him Let's not forget we have Zapata as well. I think we only need a maximum of 4 CBs next season. Atm, I'd keep Mexes, Alex (obviously), Rami and Bonera (just for the experience). Silvestre is probably already fed-exed back to Inter. I want to get rid of Zaccardo badly, as for Zapata, I don't think there's much difference between him and Astori. It depends really on what happens with Mexes

Nope. 30 million or f@ck off. Is there any Arsenal player I would want in my team? Only their unselleables actually, like Wilshere.

These things are irrelevant. If Balo has a great world cup, 25m wouldn't even cut half of it. And I expect the management to stick to that. Either we get top dollar for him or we keep him

QUOTE (X-Offender @ Jun 17 2014, 10:48 AM)  £25m is about €30m. I don't think Balo is worth more than €30m, honestly. And that's a lot of money, no matter how you see it. what? in this world cup year? especially after that match winning display? no way! He's still only 23years old, anyone buying him and giving him a 6yr deal is getting a super great deal. At this stage Balotelli the footballer alone to me should be worth €35m+bonuses, moreover arsenal/puma want more (they want a strong marketing tool which he is, silly antics or not) we should milk any suitor dry

He's worth more than that in this market, and to settle for anything less would be a blunder of the same proportion as the Ibra + Thiago 2 for 1 deal we gave to PSG when they paid 50m for David Luiz!
