Milan defender Kakha Kaladze has stated that he will honour his contract with the San Siro outfit.

The Georgian was paired with a summer move after the Champions League win in Athens, when he stated that he was eager to be a first-team regular.

“I have spoken with the club and every misunderstanding has been clarified,” said Kaladze to Milan Channel this afternoon.

“I am very glad and I want to say to all our supporters and those who love me and love Milan that I will stay here until 2011,” added the Rossonero.

“I have a contract and I respect all the rules set by this club. As to the statements following the Final, I certainly didn’t mean that I wanted to leave. I met with Adriano Galliani, Leonardo and Ariedo Braida and we clarified the issue: I will stay for four more years,” explained the 29-year-old.

The Georgian was on the verge of a Chelsea move two years ago, but no fee could be agreed and he signed a new Rossoneri contract instead.

“I have always had an excellent relationship with this outfit, the Coach and the team. Milan have given me many trophies, two Champions League titles, the Scudetto, the Super Cup and now hopefully the Intercontinental Cup.

“We have all contributed in the last five years, we are like a family, this is Milan’s secret. As to myself, I will do all I can to be ready when needed. I had many problems this year, but I played all the decisive matches.

“In any case I never said anything against the club. I had some issues to clarify, now everything is fine,” concluded Kaladze.

For those of you who have something against Kaladze, think about this..

If John Terry and Carvalho are so good defenders in Chelsea, why has Mourinho been bidding for Kaladze the last two years?

Though Kaladze has not played much due to Captain Maldini, he has been good enough to catch the attention of other clubs in Europe!
When we talk about clearing players, by all means, lets get rid of Favalli, Olivera and Simic. They take up precious space on the bench. I've never seen them play well.

As Maldini winds down his career, Kaladze will be the natural replacement as CB.

Another important reason to keep Kaladze - He's much more loyal and sincere than another East European player we used to have in Milan (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

i dont see any reason to get ride of him. every game he's played for us he's been great. he's great cover for LB.

@R7 one season on the bench isnt going to kill alex, especially cuz i'm sure he'll play a good number of games for us cuz i can assure you nesta and maldini will not play every single games of the season even if their fit for every single games. this high quality CB that we need to replace maldini after next season, i really wouldnt want to sign him next year and expect him to adapt right away so thats why i'd like to see him come now.

Yes I already said that I agree ... But considering the position Milan is in today, we have Nesta (experience) and Bonera (fresh) to form our cb pairing. With that in mind, I don't see why we need another quality cb, right now. Maybe if the club decide that they will bring in someone to take Costacurta's place, but that player might not be an 'Alex' or 'Toure' type of defender.
