I'd loan him out to Sampdoria with a possible buy option. It would be really interesting to see him pair up with Cassano. My gut tells me it would be a great partnership.

Though of course...if we're down to UEFA cup...it might be tough to get good players...and I'd rather Gila than Saviola (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

If we could get Sheva back...and if he were not too injury prone..we could put back that combo again. It worked well.

Basically our current system, is built around Kaka as the attacking spearhead, with Gila proving a rather clumsy foil, whose job is to keep the defenders busy.

Either you can do it the mobil striker's way, which is to use technique and ditz around like a mosquito, or you can be like Gila and run head on into a wall. (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

He's not as sneaky as Inzaghi, and not as sharp as Paloschi. It's tough for him to be in a passing team, as opposed to a more physical team, which relies on him getting the ball.

He would do well at Inter with Zlatan. But then since that thought is unimaginable, he ought to go to Sampdoria with Cassano.

I actually agree with this notion. Loan him to a smaller club like Sampdoria or even Reggina, and maybe his stock will go up. If he has to go, I'd much rather have Gila net in a couple of millions for Milan, to make up as much of our original acquisition cost from Parma.. It's not like he can lose much value, the only way it can go is up. (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

What do you think About Rino, Pirlo, Seedorf and Maldini? Do they need to go?

No...but what do they have to do with Gilardino. In fact, he's the only player I'm 100% sure has to go. You know what's my criteria? I never, not even once, enjoyed seeing him play for us. This may sound naive, and maybe it is, I usually don't have such arguments, but in this case...IMO it's the truth. Every other player I once admired for his deeds at Milan, or still occasionally admire, or still feel at least somthing. With Alberto I'm cold and rational. I just want him out..

Can't say I disagree with you. with the exception of a few games, like the brace he scored against the Viola, he never really was an exciting player. I'm glad to see Carlo's finally given up on him!

Gila is a lose-lose situation for us really.

We either keep him, and he doesn't perform and he's clearly unhappy here. Or we sell him, he does very well elsewhere and it will look like Milan made a mistake selling him and that we have no clue when it comes to developing young players, which we don't, in my opinion.

How can you be sure that Gila will do well in another big club!?

Gila was 23 when he came that's not young.

We don't know how to develop young players cause it's not what we do.

off the top of my head, Maldini (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)


Then maybe Kaka' .. though he was brilliant before he came, still he came to us when he was younger than Gilardino.

I think it's just that the shirt is too heavy for him, maybe at Parma or Fiorentina, he could be good again.

Big club? I never said he'd do well at a big club, just another club. 23 is young to me anyways.

Maldini is God... he developed himself!

Of course there are some young players Milan have developed over the years but it's not what we do, we buy players that are already developed or, as with Kaka, players that have shown they have "found their way".

No you did not but what I meant that I do not care if he does well for a smaller club. If he went to Juventus (for example) and he did well then I'd regret it but if for Fiorentina then I'd be happy for him!

23 is young but also developed... of course there's always room for improvement but it's not a critical age by any means...

It's too early to say this, but Pato and Palo too. I'm certain about Pato's success.. but Paloschi needs to play more than this.

It's obvious we're no Arsenal or Barca, but we are 'good enough' in developing young players. if Gila failed it's because of the reason many have mentioned before: he's not meant for a big club. he's mentally weak.

Well, yes obviously that is how the club has been for so long now ... But when Gilardino came in, he was top scorer for two years running, hence he was supposed to be a reliable goal scorer.

Oh yes .. It's common knowledge Zd (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Gilardino just isn't meant to play for a big club .. maybe an average club.

Pato is a revelation ... I mean to score on his debut and to adapt to Milan's rhythm and style of play, then to assert himself as a first team player ... Not many players can do that. (Not even Kaka' (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) )

[misha]

Gila needs to leave Milan as much as Milan needs him to leave (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) I think he already realized that he has no future here.

I think he would be perfect for the Viola and vice versa. Fiorentina are not an average club, but they're nowhere near a big club like Milan either.

Some would argue about the last part, but I agree with you.
