Why are people happy to get rid of Gattuso? Not 2 weeks ago he was the most amazing DM ever to grace the sport.

Well, they spent 1.5 million (I think?) buying Albertazzi from Bologna and spent a good bit (though not that much) bringing in Zigoni this window. They still qualify as youth players and it would seem that a lightbulb has finally gone off in someone's peasized brain that paying more attention to the youth teams is a Good Thing.

Albertazzi is really getting a lot of buzz in italy with the U20s and Zigoni is turning into a monster scorer for the primavera. Maurizio Ganz's son is going on a goalscoring frenzy for his youth team too (which is 2 years younger than the primavera).

Rino is a good player, but i do feel he is turning into a parody of himself, always having to argue with officials, trying to intimidate the opposition which does not work anymore, they all just smile at him, he needs to do his talking with his ball winning and passing to someone who can create for us and punish the opposition that way rather than storming around the pitch with the red mist over his eyes.

I wish he would storm out of Milan personally. Forever.

AMbro and rino should both go, give the C to nesta/pirlo

[Bluesummers]

It's because that's what he's basically worth, a few good games in an utterly crap Milan side notwithstanding. Storari is an average GK who's currently up there with Kalac's 15 minutes of fame in the latter half of the 07-08 season, so I'm not getting all wet with excitement over his performance yet. When he wins us a CL virtually by himself and is named the league's top keeper, as Dida has, then he's worth the big bucks. That won't be happening anytime soon, though.

Milan had better keep in mind that Kalac got a contract extension after '08 and then proceeded to piss away the starting job faster than it takes you or I to pass wind.

I don't care that you hate Dida as much as I love him, but you gotta start seeing the forest for the trees sometime.

oh my gosh, were really gonna do this.


HE EARNS 4 MILLION a year for 2-3 months of play at max! He's living like a god at milan!

Our financial situation is in turmoil and the first thing we can do to better our situation is to sell players and reduce heavy contracts. Dida is a good example of excess waste. Doesn't do jack s***, yet he is one of the top paid players in the club.


Thats like If I worked at a company and worked 2 hours a day but still made 100k a year in comparison to someone who works 8 hours a day but makes 60k a year.


How is that okay?

How can you even defend him? Are you really that delusional to our situation?

i'm all for cutting him lose but only if we do show and honor his achievements with the club

sure sure, we'll give him a celebration and call him a legend of the club etc. But we have to realise that the condition of the club has to come first before all other aspects. Family was always a bonus and made us stand apart from all other clubs WHEN we also had the results in the bag. When our team was good and had the family rapport, well milan was just the place to be at.

Now whats the point of having all this family stuff if were in 11th place? Milan is hardly the place to be at these days.

[Jack Sparrow]

Bah...Dida's gonna be released, it's obvious. I don't think he's gonna renew. If he does, it shall be for substantially lower wages. So I don't see the point on harping on about Dida whatever we can accuse him off.

We could talk about Kaladze, Oddo etc.

he was unreal, but now hes getting old. He's 31/32 years old and cannot play every game, its clear.

That much is a given. I'd read somewhere online after he signed the extension that it was supposedly to be his last contract with the club. In a perfect world, he'd retire after the season and stay with the club in some capacity.

Rino is a good player, but i do feel he is turning into a parody of himself, always having to argue with officials, trying to intimidate the opposition which does not work anymore, they all just smile at him, he needs to do his talking with his ball winning and passing to someone who can create for us and punish the opposition that way rather than storming around the pitch with the red mist over his eyes.

Agreed. Probably the most sensible post on the matter I've read.

I think he should. He's still young. I think Fiori is our goalkeeping coach right now, but I'm sure Dida would be good as well. Perhaps he can even put on his scouting boots and work for us.

I hope it's just the fans who treat him like trash(we're fans it's to be expected),and that the management and the team do value him as a comrade still. It would be just wrong otherwise.

i actually don't blame him in this scenario, he's just a lucky guy getting paid..... ... .....
this thread is mostly in anger towards the management who had valued him wrongly& continue to do everything wrong(giving fat contracts to the wrong people&cancelling the wrong ones too, won't buy players)
dida gave his best over the years, he should have left sooner.... or be noble&take a pay cut like rino did.

miz also is over-doing it by calling storari only an average GK(we don't care if our GK is average or world class, we just want him to stop shots)

Don't you just love it? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

What could he do though, they guy just does not talk! Have you ever seen him talk? I've read an interview but that's not proof! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Galliani respects all of these players, none of them will be forgotten.
