what do you mean?? We'll be forced to buy a striker just to fulfil that????
Milan also you used to play with a libero, now we don't!!!!!!!!!!!! ......................

I mean we r Milan, we dont get forced... we buy who we want to buy when we want to buy. I think Milan has tricks under its sleaves. Milan did play the X-tree at some point in it's history, plus we played it when in 05 When Sheva was injured and we had Crespo up front by himself; but that wasn't our defult formation: i.e. 4 3 1 2 ... I would expect Milan to shift the formation up a bit, but the two up front will remain. That's what I'm saying.

LOL (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) That's a great quote but the football tree has nothing to do with defensive football and at the same time no two striker formation has anything to do with attacking football .... (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) It's the way you play it ... Gullit's Milan was actually a 4-5-1 team but oh my God it is the greatest team ever!!!!!!!

QUOTE (LaPalma @ Jul 21 2006, 11:25 PM)
And it's a good decision by Ance to let him play this position, couldn't be any better for our game. You can't let him play alongside with Kaká, two great midfielders with the same designation, it just wouldn't work...
*

It's obviously Carlo is wrong on the Pirlo matter: He should be a playmaker just like in Italy (it was my mistake to put him next to Kaka), we all saw how great he was while in Milan his duties are strictly defense related!!!!
Also a word about Gatusso: He's virtually the only DMF we got and still he's not the classic type of: Have you ever seen Rino play strictly in front of the defence? No because it would be a waste to put a player that can run with no stop for 3000 minutes to guard the defence all the time.He's got more jobs to do in the field mostly in the flanks!!!

You didn't quite understand what I said. Of course Milan is not forced by any person to do anything but since we got no second outside-of-the-box striker and you so desperately want us to play with two strikers then we'd have to buy one even if we don't think he's good enough or worth the money ...

Totally right. It isn't just a coincedence that when we played with Gila and Pippo upfront when Sheva was injured non of the goals that were scored came from either of them, you simply can't play with 2 strikers when both of them are box strikers, it just won't work.

And right now there isn't anyone that could do what Sheva does the only one that I see that has big potential in him is Tevez but he has never been linked to anybody accept for Chelsea but certainly not to us, I can't see him ever coming to Milan. So right now the xmas tree formation is the best option and having 3 number 10 players in your formation wouldn't be called defensive. We would have a triangle of playmakers

------Pirlo------
Kaka---Gourcuff

I wouldn't call that defensive.

We always play with two strikers??? Man we won the CL and Scudetto playing the Christma tree, what was bad with that, that we lost the Intercontinental Cup???

That was over 2 and 3 years ago respectively, we now play with 2 strikers upfront! And yes, losing that cup to Boca hurt me really bad if you must know, not that I think it was down to the "Albero di Natale"

You wouldn't want that !!!

1. That's beside the point, what's it got to do with Kaladze?
2. That's not funny!

QUOTE (dst @ Jul 21 2006, 08:46 PM)
Well even if it was 1 week after our previous game, would you excpept anything more from the likes of Cafu, Serginho, Costacurta considering their age and the fact that it was the end of the season??? I wouldn't, this team is aged!!!! Thank God we're not playing in CL next year, maybe Galliani will finally buy some replacements!!!!

I would've expected more from them had they not been injured! Yea ok they might be coming to the end of their careers but realistically Silvio won't buy any other replacements, which I agree we do need!

They're all players that can get forward, I was thinking more about the chances WE could have had - ie. a cross from Cafu or Serginho.

Carlo is sticking with the 4-1-2-1-2. So lets work around that.

Inzaghi and Gila will not be sufficient. New striker required to take Sheva's place. My choice, given current climate: Trezeguet.

The MF is sorted as far as I can see. Same as before. Just wake up Seedorf.

Defence. I agree with DST on the defence being milan's traditional forte, and it does need to be re-estalbsihed.
Janku, Favalli, Simic and Cafu, all too old or simply not good enough. Pref Kaladze would play at LB, with Nesta and Maldini CB. Maldini cannot be counted upon due to age. He can either be rotated/subbed with Costacurta, or another CB brought in. Reliable candidated like Cannavaro and Thuram however, have slipped through Milan\s fingers, when either of them would have done. Poor from Milan again. New RB strikes me as desperate. Sagnol is my preferred. Costacurta could operate it well as he did when required last season, but not a long-term soln, which the sooner one is looked into, the better.

I don't have a problem with older players, as long as they can still cut it, and I feel Costacurta can, Maldini too, but Cafu no. Serginho being played out of posn anyway, which is ridiculous for a top sde like Milan.

No this is not the team for next year ... I made this topic and wrote what we need!!!!
There was a player that struck my eye in the WC and that was Pirlo ... if you try and think outside of the two-strikers box you'd understand that if we let him play as a playmaker he's going to kick some @ss and we won't need to spend 50 f@cking millions on a f@cking striker that struck my f@cking eye while our f@cking defence is just f@cking sh1t right now!!!!!!!!!

Oh, I got a little tense right there ... (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

OK....all my arguments just vanished (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
The point is we really need another striker. I don't want to see Gila all on his own next season. This one striker thing doesn't work at all. Look at Henry in the WC, he's the best striker right now, and even he didn't manage to through Italys defense even though France was the clearly better team the entire second half. No we need two strikers, so stop arguing you greek RB! (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

Well look I thought about it ... There's only one forward in the whole wide world that is worth our money and in fact I'd give everything to have him!!!!



He's Lionel Messi !!!!!!!!!! (IMG:http://www.coolsmileys.net/affection/hubba4.gif)

He had Ribery &/or Malouda as well didn't he? I hope you don't mean Pirlo, Kaka & Gourcuff all at the same time, that's too many playmakers don't you think?

I'm glade you noticed that it isn't. You shouldn't stress ur self, cz it wont change anything from the fact that u r just an an observer and have no say in what the outcome will be, so chill.

Pirlo sucked in the AM role big time .. but his role with us is just perfect for him, so I wouldnt change that.

Spending 50 Million?! Who said anything about that? .. Milan said Sheva will be replaced with an equal, and that's a fact.

Anything other than that would be considered an assumption.

The defence, I agree has to be reinforced.
