QUOTE (m1ke @ Aug 14 2009, 12:41 PM)  I didn't necessarily agree with the decision to appoint Ambro captain either, but I can understand it. Does it mean that he'll be likely to get the nod over Flamini in midfield if him, Pirlo and Rino are fit? It's a nice luxury to have I guess - but I thought Flamini was one of our better performers last season. I think the Ambro decision was very much the easy route. Vice captain, so very lazy a choice to make him club captain. Arguably not unlike the decision to appoint in-house when getting a new manager - Leo was hardly a radical and exciting appointment. |

Appointing Ambro was keeping with tradition (as is also done with the Italian NT); Ambro got the armband because of seniority. I don't really have a problem with it and actually think it's a good thing.

It's still a lazy and easy appointment, no matter what the reason is. If Milan are to get out of the rut we're in, sticking to the kind of actions which got us there in the first place really isn't the way forward. |

I think we'll agree to disagree on this one. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Fair enough (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) I just feel that continuing the practices which got us into our current mess is counter productive, and to see improvement on the pitch we need to see change in the way we operate. Overhaul our procedures. But respect to your opinion. And Fishdoll (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |

If I could pick any team... (obviously Flamini doesn't enjoy playing RB)
Abbiati Flamini Nesta Silva Zambrotta Gattuso Pirlo Ambrosini Ronaldinho Huntelaar Pato this could actually work if Flamini and Zambrotta push up and Gattuso & Ambro provide the necessary cover. Nevertheless, Flamini doesn't want to play as a wingback so hopefully we sign someone, and move Flamini into the midfield over Ambrosini. This post has been edited by Darunia: Aug 14 2009, 02:06 PM |

But would he play at RB? I think one of his deciding factors in leaving Arsenal was becuase he was sick of being used as a utility player.

It means you're played in various positions. I also disagree it's about the money, Wenger was happy to match the deal Milan offered, but Flamini wanted out. |

QUOTE (Danny @ Aug 14 2009, 12:24 AM) Just curious as to what shape and formation, and personnel, you'd all pick if our players were fully fit and available. Mine would be: ----------------------Dida Zambrotta------Nesta------Silva-----Jankulovski -----Gattuso------Flamini-------Seedorf -----------------Ronaldinho ----------Pato-----------KVH Interesting looking at this now and seeing how differently I see it now. My defence would remain completely unchanged but the rest would now be: ---Ambrosini---Pirlo---Seedorf Pato-----Borriello-----Ronaldinho Admittedly after the Milan derby some of these guys' stock went down a bit... |

I'd go with that, except Antonini in for Jankulovski. I think Zambrotta is terrible, but he's the best of a bad bunch so would make it in.
