Interesting game after Sevilla. Hope we'd be in a good mood and will bring our fans a present (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/devil.gif)

Well , we have way too much respect for gila. Every year we are protecting him when he doest score , but when kaladze or even seedorf dont perform its like having the worst defender on earth and a turtle.

And in the end , Those 2 players give so much more then Gila. Ok ok , we can use the "he keeps the defenders & keeper busy" excuse again. But thats not what a striker should do.

Like you said , he probably will score some goals , but I doubt if those will be vital goals and I'm practically sure those goals are midfield made to make his life even more easier.

He's got a long way to go to come even close to the likes of Inzaghi or even sheva.

And if people will say " heyyyy , but gila isnt a striker like sheva , he's more like inzaghi" . Let me tell you , a striker that doesnt score is as useless as a d*ckflavoured lollypop . (quote from dodgeball)

I personally am off the whole Gila band wagon, I'm not outwardly putting him down for his poor displays or calling for his head, but if he wants to gain the support of most of the fans than he has to work his @ss off this season.

I agree with you thougt that he will never reach the caliber of Sheva, but he still has it in him to get where Pippo is, he needs to be more cold blooded in front of goal though if he wants to achieve this, because as far as goal records go his is better then Pippo's ever has been over his carrier. He just doesn't know how to rise to the big occasions like Pippo does

What's wrong with duck flavoured lolipop? It doesn't matter. Strawberry, orange, lemon, chocolate, duck.....you still suck mate! (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

Well I'm not too keen a protector of Gila, but I was wagering he get one more season to prove himself.

This is where I respect a kid like Pazzini. Luca Toni left, which for the viola is as bad as Sheva leaving, and he's ready to step into his shoes. I mean he's made the mental leap of progression. When I see Gila, it's obvious he hasn't made that mindset change into accepting his role as a primary striker. IMO, Gila left us no choice but to buy R99 and Pato. So if Gila falls down the pecking order, it's his fault. And Carlo's shown a LOT of faith in Gila...a lot. Almost as much as Sheva has from Jose, maybe more. He has to raise his game level. I don't question his dedication or commitment, I just question his mental approach to the whole problem.

There's no I got a point to prove attitude in him. Just, I'll do what I've been doing all along, except I'll try harder at it.

Exactly asJack over here said
