I will be very disappointed if Pato turns out to be a mercenary like Kaká.
This is why I hate to rely on non-Italian players, so many of them lack a loyalty to an Italian club because they didn't necessarily grow up dreaming of playing for the Italian giants.

It's not often that you see a foreign player, begin and end his career at a single club. (No reflection on Kaka..there might be umpteen reasons, not all being a lack of loyalty). It's one thing that worries me with Leonardo as coach. Will he realise that Milan need to focus on an Italian core or will he start bringing in all Brazillians coz he's their buddy! I liked Leo the player and the scout. I hope he doesn't go all native on us.

I will be sorely disappointed the day Milan puts out a lineup similar to Arsenal and Inter. At least 6 Italians, with 2 of them being youth academy. This is my dream combo. I guess in the days of global success, the point of 'Italian' club is watered down, but I can't accept it. (IMG: style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

(IMG: style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) I agree with you there Jack. I want Milan to always maintain an Italian core. But you need sme foreign flair to go with that. And if Leo can spot out some diamonds in the rough from South America, I'm all for it. As long as our Italian identity remains intact.

But it's just the direction we're talking. For instance Maldini replaced by Silva NOT Criscito or Santacroce Pirlo replacements being Hernanes and NOT Cigarini I understand Leonardo would find Brazil easier to operate and cheaper...but to run in economy mode is to risk a lot.

I understand Leonardo would find Brazil easier to operate and cheaper...but to run in economy mode is to risk a lot. Agreed. We'll see what happens in the transfer window. We'll still have Abbiati, Nesta, Pirlo, Rino, Zambro and (maybe) Boriello as a good Italian core for next season. Although with Nesta's and Boriello's injuries we could be left with only Rino, Ambro, Pirlo and Zambro as starters. We'll see I guess...
