Milan play Panathinaikos in a friendly this Friday -- at the Silverdome in Pontiac, Michigan.

Can somoene explain to me why on earth this game's being played? Are we getting lots and lots of $$$$$$?

Ronaldinho alone won't get us there but remove 5 players (Dinho, Pirlo, Nesta, Pato and Thiago) from out first team and we're there so fast your head will spin



disagree. I'd say if Dinho/pirlo and nesta weren't there, we'd be in relegation zone forsure. Silva and Pato are necessary but they can be replaced. Every time one of those main three got injured, we could barely win games.

Not that dire imo.

But the 5 I mentioned are the key. Last season we lost Nesta and Pato and we suffered big time but we still managed somehow. And we'd managed say we lose Pirlo and Thiago but we definately won't be in the top 4.

Imagine losing all 5 I mentioned (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ohmy.gif)

But there's nothing strange about it. I mean, there're two types of players in team. One is leaders or key players and second one is helpers. I want to say that all of players cant be equally important to a team. What would Barca be without Xavi, Nesta, Messi, Puyol, Pique ? Or MU without Wayne, Nani, Carrick, Rio, Vidic ?
