The guy is a joke if you ask me. He's got it to be a mid-table utility player every coach alla Ranier would dream of.
Aye. (IMG:
style_emoticons/default/goodheart.gif) I'm sure he's a good guy, with a heart of gold in the middle, and it's not like I dislike him or anything, not even 1%, he's perfectly fine. But definitely not who should be a solution for Milan if we want to aim big. Like you said, a perfect mid-table utility player every coach would dream of.
A lucky, or should I say, extremely lucky perfect mid-table utility player every coach would dream of.

As a AM he's a real travesty. Sure, his ping-pong may actually cause from time to time against weaker defenses confusion, but all in all - he's a solid pass, a poor shot, his technique leave something to be desired, and his strength...god, he has no stability, no stamina. Just fix him with a stronger player, and you got him solved.
Spoken like it is, Fillipo. (IMG:
style_emoticons/default/read.gif) He has neither the build nor vision for this position. If I have something against Allegri it is this. He has been stuffing this team with jack of all trades, master of none players. Yes, Emanuelson has put in a few good shows these past few matches, and he's improving a bit, but it is what it is.
As long as we have players like these, we'll never be the masters of our destiny. (IMG:

That's a bit harsh, Fillipo.
Harsh, but not totally untrue. (IMG:

style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif) The guy hasn't a creative bone in his body. (IMG:
style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) I've been as shocked when I see him starting in the AM position, as I was when he first got a chance to play there. LCM is where his place is, and that too as a sub. Or at least it should have been if this was 2007.
