Just imagine a fully fit Pato next to this guy...

Man I'm waiting for the day to see this formation:

Abbiati
Abate Mexes Zapata De Sciglio
Boateng De Jong Montolivo
Bojan Pato El Shaarway

With Bojan and Stephan playing a wider role and cutting in and Pato in a more advanced position to roam the middle and interchange with those two.

No way Allegri would prefer Bojan over Robinho. I mean, the guy's already just been warming the bench.

I don't care about Allegri. That's my fantasy line up. My reasoning to leave him out is because he has been below par for well over a year. On the other hand, from what little I saw from Bojan, he looks like he can connect better up there with our attacking movement and looks like he has good potential to cement his place in the line up if given regular playing time.

Robinho is already thinking about Brazil. He has always been a half-hearted player. Smiles too much without really accomplishing anything on the field. At this point I'd rather start introducing Niang into the line up than play this guy that will leave at the end of the season anyways.

Interesting lineup Max!

If everyone you mentioned there was able to play to their full potential... that would be quite a spectacle to see!

Unfortunately as X said though, with Allegri... I'm not sure we'd see that anytime soon!

Interesting as in still a few notches below what we had last season, Trini. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sleep.gif) Maybe more than a fair few notches. Heck, we'll have to add in a few more champions to balance out what we lost in Silva, Nesta, Ibra, Cassano and Van Bommel. Thing is, all our players in the last couple of seasons worked of off these five.

Now, with all five sold, transferred, retired or bullied their way out, eve our current best XI is, not very best.

Cheer up chump! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

Oh, I'm always in a good mood, man! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Even stupid defeats and ugly draws have their charm when it comes to following a club. But nevertheless this mass exodus is something that I've talked about in years gone by. And well, now that we have had one, it's not a pleasant feeling when you consider the players we've bought in.

Then again, there is a chance that once this fantasy lineup plays a few matches, they'll hit form. Could be.

Nor do I anyway.

Hmm..in a lot of ways it reminds me of the debut seasons of Shevchenko. Especially his horrible second season. One of the reasons, why I'm not jumping up and saying our current one is the worst Milan team ever.

@Max: I like you lineup, except I want more Italians coz I'm a racist, fascist, fundamentalist.

Abate---Mexes---Bonera/Zapata----DeSciglio/Antonini
----Montolivo-----Ambro----Nocerino-----------
---Bojan/SeS--------SeS/Pazzini----------Pato---------


We need to find the next great Italian CB. If it were up to me and I had the cash we would splurge.

Out: Mexes, Yepes (age for the last)
In: Ogbonna, Astori

In the world of mid-fielders there's just nothing there that isn't overpriced or without excess baggage.

You're not a racist.

I like Max's lineup as well. I wish we could actually see that in action...

That would be the dream line-up for everyone.

But we all know Allegri would never go fo it in a million years.

He'll continue to insist on Urby as part of the attacking trio and will more than likely include another DM in that midfield instead of either Monto or Prince, because that is too risky for him (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

Problem is, "the worst Milan project" was avoided when we fired Zaccheroni and splashed money on players like Pippo, Nesta, Costa, Seedorf or Pirlo. The thing is, nowadays I don't see us spending that much, and even if we could/would, the Italian Serie A isn't half as rich as back then with such world class players.

[X-Offender]

If only certain players would follow his example. Very good game against Parma. His tracking back especially impressed me, along with his Kaká-style run in the first half. That was superb!

[KillerMax]

A host of former Milan forwards have given their verdict on the budding talent that is Stephan El Shaarawy.

The 19-year-old is making a name for himself this season after netting five goals in his last four games for the Diavolo.

“El Shaarawy has all the qualities needed to become a great player, but he still needs to grow,” stated Dejan Savicevic to the Gazzetta dello Sport.

“He’s quick, he has a good shot and he scores with ease. However, if you don’t score goals then people will criticise you in Italy.

“It’s important that he’s scoring in a difficult moment for Milan…”

Andriy Shevchenko is also a fan of the Italian international. “El Shaarawy is fast, technically gifted and he has the freshness that you need in the difficult moments,” the Ukrainian noted.


“Who is he like? I don’t know who El Shaarawy can be compared to. I think that comparisons are harmful, because every champion is different.

“But Stephan has something that reminds me of myself, for example in the way that he accelerates.”

While Sheva was cautious with comparisons, Jose Altafini and Maurizio Ganz didn’t hold back.

“El Shaarawy reminds me of Neymar and Messi,” Altafini claimed. “They have a low centre of gravity. They play with the ball glued to their feet.

“El Shaarawy has already proved that he’s a good player. The important thing is not to bulk him up too much.”

Ganz said: “El Shaarawy reminds me of Neymar because they both like to start from deep. I like El Shaarawy because he’s very good at going straight for goal.

“He’s also an intelligent player, who is now showing that he’s also a scorer.”
