I haven't seen him play ...but I was inclined to play him alongside Kaka too. But I guess I didn't think about manmarking and all.

So playing Seedorf alongside Kaka...so all the talk about Seedorf slowing down was just B.S huh?

Well I really wouldnt mind X-mas tree, maybe if we go a goal ahead I'd like a 4-4-1-1 with Gila coming in behind Pippo?

Seedorf was never a fast player, I was just saying that since Gourcuff doesn't have the strength to hold that position YET we should switch his and Seedorf's position for now, because Seedorf is stronger and can still play as a playmaker.

If we play a 4-4-1-1, it would have to be either Gila or Pippo upfront with Kaka behind them. Something like this

Cafu'--Simic--Billy--Janku
Foggia--Rino--Pirlo--Sergi
-----------Kaka------------
-------------Gila/Pippo----

How long did Gourcuff play in the first leg ? I cant remember, but I think Carlo brought him in for 20 mins of the second half. I hope he does play, he needs to get some games under his feet to integrate w/ his team mates. But what I was thinking is that he is still young, when Kaka first came, Carlo wouldn't risk bringing him on unless we had an advantage.

Gourcuff, although young, he's a first team player at Rennes .. But too much rests on this game in particular .. And Gourcuff would be a liability on the field, as he still hasnt been tested under pressure.

I hope he blossoms in Milan, as Kaka did .. But I highly doubt if our new boy will get his chance ..

But wasn't Gourcuff a MDF player .. He is close to Seedorf's position than Kaka .. ?? Anyways, the season is close to start, we'll find out what he really is (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/devil.gif)
