Very good disciplined performance from him today.

[Fillipo Simone]

Strasser and Calvano.

Again Calvano. Don't you think he would have been picked by Allegri for the CL list if he was any good? How many times did you watch Calvano play?

How is Ambro useful exactly? He's just not anymore, it's plain as day, maybe he doesn't make it obvious as Rino does by tackling Nesta, but the fact that I only notice that he's on the pitch when he's fouling someone says it all. Why keep him? He'll help in the dressing room? If we want someone to help in the dressing room then it would be more feasable to keep Rino then Ambro, at least he motivates the team more then Ambro does.

May it be...but you skip the Flamini part. I'm talking about him, and not Ambro or Rino which you mixed into this discussion.

You see what I mean? I ask you about Flamini, and here you go again talking about Ambro. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

Let's be fair. You don't like Ambro, I don't like Flamini. Both are getting more and more useless. I've got a fixation on team captains and value him to the right end only because of this, and because I still can see his contribution. What's your excuse for Flamini (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cool.gif) ?

Also, he's not a financial burden? Check again, he earns more then the majority of our best players. And that is the most ridiculous thing I saw in that wage list next to Rino earning a hefty 4m rolleyes.gif

Now you're being unfair. Sorry the most ridiculous thing beside Rino, or even above Gattuso's wages, is Flamini.

Again Calvano. Don't you think he would have been picked by Allegri for the CL list if he was any good? How many times did you watch Calvano play?

Does this mean you agree on Strasser? So that's 1 already, which I find a shame already the little he has played for Milan so far (and will since he won't this season) because of such players we are mentioning. So we got 1 or 2, that's enough reason already. Who wants to see Gattuso struggling rather than seeing Strasser play and develop?

Calvano doesn't have to be on the CL list, he fits in the youth list so he can play anyway. So that really says literally nothing. I have seen Calvano close to never, but it's based on what I hear from others and Allegri does have included him sometimes in the squad. He's still very young and simply is seen as a promising player. Nothing more or less. It's not like I say he has world class potential or so. But there must be a reason why I often hear he is either the most promising and/or best Primavera player or one of the.

Though as long as a young player haven't had some games for the firs team you never can say too much. It's one thing to do well in Primavera and an other for the first team. So he simply must get his chance to show it at Milan's first team, and then we can judge him. In Primavera he apparently earned to get that chance, and there are not much better opportunities for that then when facing a team like Lecce.

But even without Calvano, we got Strasser who I do know, and I rate him. Van Bommel (if he keeps it up), Nocerino and Strasser are already three DM's should be in Milan's squad next season. And if Van Bommel doesn't keep it up and leaves, we must sign a replacement for him anyway. So we keep 3, and the 4th simply would be pointless to be a signing or declining players like Gattuso and Ambrosini. Better use your most promosing DM from Primevara then, those few times he is needed anyway. The more chances you give to your youngsters the better chance you have at raising excellent players yourself. We do that too little now. So many old players from which many are not obvious better than young players, or may be even worse. No, if it's that close, go for young, since they will become better and actually need to play to be able to become better.
