I personally rate Ambro very highly, and prefer him to Gattuso. Rino can't do anything that Ambro can't - eg. work hard, win the ball back, play with a huge heart and has a fantastic work rate. - But Ambro even scores goals - one of the best headerers of a ball in the Milan team if you ask me. I'd be very disappointed if he wasn't considered a starter next season - given that he's been possibly our most on form midfielder this season!
Agreed. He is by far the best header of the ball in the squad. Gila is second strongest

I agree with you there Zd. One example is that a few people on here see Pippo as some sort of legend - even considered having his number retired! But Pippo has done very little compared to Kaka' in my opinion. Heck, Pippo has only really had 1 good season for Milan in terms of goalscoring, the rest he's done very little, except a few goals in a CL every now and then (And this recent bit of temporary form).
Actually, I bet Kaka' has played more games, and scored more goals, for Milan than Pippo has!
Some players do seem 'untouchable' for some reason. And I really don't know why.
I'll criticise anyone if they deserve it, if Maldini puts in a bad performance, it's no different than if Dida does, he deserves the same criticism.QFT. Thats the right attitude. People for some reason think that certain players are immune from criticism, that is not the case. Praise when necessary criticise when required. We cant just turn a blind eye for sentimentaility.

I think what dst said is very clear:
it's a disgrace Kaka's name is mentioned next to Billy's. how do you interpret that?... personally as a Milan I felt insulted to see someone talk about our current best player like this.
Believe me if I had said something like this about Pippo I would've gotten slaughtered on here.
I dont think dst meant that. It didnt even really sound like he implied it. What dst is trying to say is that kaka has a long way to go before he can match Costacurta's stature. Billy was around for so long, suffered, bled and gave everything for a longer amount of time than Kaka. There is no doubt in my mind that Kaka will be a legend, just at the moment he is a hero
