QUOTE (acid911 @ Aug 9 2014, 02:38 PM)  Not pleased though, should have gone with Perin. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sleep.gif) Future proofing. Genoa connection. Better keeper too. Then again, there is some reason for joy here, we rarely pay attention to the goalkeeper position during transfer windows. We needed a new one five years back, like, in 2009. Perin isn't a better keeper than Diego Lopez, he's got a looooooong way before he can reach that level imo. He's all about potential atm, that's his only plus over Lopez who's already 32 (turns 33 in November) |

Lopez is a weird signing. He's been keeping goal for Madrid for 2 seasons but it's always been controversial with it being over Casillas.
He has one sodding cap for Spain, and wasn't even part of Madrid's CL win. He's a good age, and I guess being Real Madrid's first choice (controversially) makes him not the worst keeper around, but it's just a strange situation altogether. |

It was controversial because Casillas is the golden child over there, but if you strip away the politics of it all, it was always the right call. There's a reason as to why TWO world class coaches chose him over Casillas |

Ok, then why has he only one cap to Casillas' 8078?

Both Valdes and him were better last season imo, yet Casillas was still the starter for Spain in the WC and probably made the most goalkeeping errors in the tournament with only just 3 games played. |

Trini...
Thanks! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) Though admittedly this is the page I follow, Wikipedia for Italian football is a good resource. |

It's just certain favouritism from coaches. Some very good players just rarely play for that reason. Look at Andy Cole for England, Mexes for France. Casillas was undoubtedly the better keeper most of his career. But Mourinho was right to drop Casillas for his atrocious performances which cost them the title before the season had even really started. Carlo did the right thing dropping him too. He had the odd good game in the CL, but the Final and his games for Spain showed why he barely played in the league the past 2 years. He shouldn't have even gone to the World Cup IMO. There's at last 4 better Spanish keepers, that includes Valdes who's mediocre too. |

So apparently Diego Lopez just signed a contract with us:
http://www.milannews.it/primo-piano/milan-...e-ultime-152162 I'm confused as to how this works considering his medical isn't until Tuesday. |

Some more good news
@Milanello - Abate, De Jong and Mexes are set for contract renewal talks in the upcoming weeks. Mexes will most likely have to spread his current annual salary over two years, while Abate and De Jong could get a slight salary increase. |

Us holding onto De Jong is the biggest signing we'll make this pre-season.

I was convinced he was off and would squeal in delight if we can keep him. |
