Im not trying to spark a quarrel here  (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/cool.gif) but how can you guarantee that Gattuso might not want to end his career where he started it, Celtic.They are the source for what he is nutoriously konwn for. lol.  (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/devil.gif) . As someone mentioned before, if Nesta is given the Captains armband he will dedicate his future to Milan, just like Torres has ( It worked on him otherwise why would a plyer like him want to stay in Atletico Madrid  (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/huh.gif)   ).
Well hey let's just all hope for the best of Milan.You never know mabye making Amorouso the captain of Milan is the way to success in all competetions. lol . (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

Gattuso started his career at Perugia and then he played one year at Rangers. You cannot compare between player thar grew up and played his entire career for Lazio untill he came to Milan ,and player that identified with Milan

[Jack Sparrow]

Have to disagree with you on one count Mishale. True Rino played one year with Rangers...but that one year was enough for him to declare the manager there as his second father wasn't it? Or have I got all my facts screwed up??

I'm voting for Pirlo coz I'm such a huge fan...look I know we can say that he might have left if we were relegated, but then wasn't Nesta also linked to a host of other clubs.

IMO football has changed a lot...nowadays all players under the age of 30 want to be where the action and the money is...maybe coz careers have shortened a lot.

I voted for Pirlo coz he's the calmest of the lot. Simply because of the way he play it's easy for the team to rally around him. He's calm, I've yet to see him lose his temper, something I've seen even Sandro do and Rino do often...so my vote is for Pirlo then Nesta then Rino.

If were to award it to Clarence, it's just a reward for sticking with us and not coz of any special ability. But I still like him...for his singing if nothing else (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

Yes he said that about their manager then: Walter Smith , but not about their team

[Jack Sparrow]

Well what I mean..he's a tempestous dude(I think i spelt it wrong (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif) )

I mean if Ac Milan were the X-Men...Rino would be Wolverine...a very key component but maybe not the ideal person to be a leader. But most definitely a senior player whom the manager and Captain should consult

[misha]

Yes he is tempestuous ,but there are all kind of leaders. He is playing with his heart and giving his all for the team.I think if there is deserve in football then Rino should be captain

[Jack Sparrow]

Playing with heart is something I'm yet to see a Milan player not do (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) That's why it's my club...maybe Rino plays with his heart on his sleeve so it's obvious to us...and he's a very lovable chap I agree....but then I'm sure each one of the players give it their all. Can we honestly say Sandro or Pirlo is not trying enough...they have bad matches sure....but they never go on field saying ..."Ok this match I'll give a little less than 100%"

[PaOlo MalDiNi]

Sorry about the Celtic and Rangers mix-up and thanks for correcting me !! but that doesn't change anything hes still not the player with the qualities of a captain.Sometimes you can see him do very cheap things on the field,what he did to Schalke04's no.10 ( forgot his name ) in the end of our last group stages match against them when we had won was just sad (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) .Captains don't act like he did.He's done such things many times.Plus he can't control himself and a team cannot afford to lose their captain in every match just because he can't control his anger !!! btw has Nesta ever said that he wants to retire in Lazio ?? btw Inter vs Ajax just finished one all,beautiful goal by Sneidjer he's a great player !!! Stam was playin as captain (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/king.gif) !!!

I think with a captain responsibility he won't do things like he did with Paulsen. IMO he will be a great captain

[X-Offender]

I think what he did to Pulsen was great. That b@stard desreved it for what doing to Ricky... and for scoring (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

Come on...Poulsen is not the devil himself...
What gattuso did was very stupid in fact. I'd still like to see nesta doing the job, I don't care if he's a Lazio player at heart. During the last 25 years we had captains who were above anything else Milanista in Baresi and Maldini. You can't compare anyone to these two.
And let's face it, Gattuso will most surely do something stupid again, and he's definetely not the guy to calm down other players (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
Ricky is too young.
And Pirlo in an Interesti at heart, I'd rather see a Lazio hearted captain ( no offense against Pirlo he's great).
The only ones left that really could do the job are Pippo and Dida. And Pippo is often injured and might spend some time on the bench next year if Ibra joins us...
So, I hope it'll be Nesta.

[Costacurta]

The last time a poll of this nature arose I voted for Nesta.

However, I have since decided that, tho a great defender, I am not sure if he would be a great cpatian, whether he is a motivator or not.

However, i do not doubt Gattuso's willingness to be vocal and passionate and can see him urgin the team on more, and hs tireless nature on the picture givers the impression of utter dedication. Hence Gattuso.

But only, once Maldini and Costacurta retire.

Im not trying to spark a quarrel here  but how can you guarantee that Gattuso might not want to end his career where he started it, Celtic.They are the source for what he is nutoriously konwn for. lol.  . As someone mentioned before, if Nesta is given the Captains armband he will dedicate his future to Milan, just like Torres has ( It worked on him otherwise why would a plyer like him want to stay in Atletico Madrid  ).

Comparing Torres to Nesta is a totally different thing Nesta grew up in Lazio and was made what he is at Lazio, just like Torres is at Atletico, Nesta was the Lazio captain, just like Torres is at Atletico, but Lazio had to sell Nesta because of financial trouble, he didn't come to Milan because he wanted to achieve bigger things or because he thought he was better then his club he came because his club had no other option but to sell him. And we don't know what Torres will decide in the future he is still young and still one day may decide to leave giving the captain's armband to a player doesn't ensure that he will stay with the team, look at what happened with judas (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

And for the person who asked about if Nesta has ever said that he wanted to reitre at Lazio, yes his agent recently said that Nesta would like to retire there.

I'm voting for Pirlo coz I'm such a huge fan...look I know we can say that he might have left if we were relegated, but then wasn't Nesta also linked to a host of other clubs.

IMO football has changed a lot...nowadays all players under the age of 30 want to be where the action and the money is...maybe coz careers have shortened a lot.

The reason why I wouldn't like to have Pirlo as captain because I think he is way too quite, first he needs to start standing up for himself before he captains a team, but what you said is true you need to have a cool haed to be captain and I don't think there is anyone calmer then Pirlo out there, but I just don't think he has a lot of leadership abilities.

Come on...Poulsen is not the devil himself...

I kind of also liked what he did to Poulsen, sure it's not examplatory or anything, but I'm sure that when he is given that arm band he will stand up to the task of being captain very well. Plus Poulsen deserved all he got after constantly taking cheap shots at Kaka when the Ref wasn't looking

For doing that thing to Poulsen...I'm all for it. Thing is Rino is the only person who can do it...and if he's our Captain how's he gonna do it then?

Like I said.. if we were the X-Men he would be Wolverine.

[Rossoneri7]

Not quit sure about Gattuso being the captain of Milan. Sure he could do it once or twice a season, but for him to be our captain from now on would be a disgrace. Think about it, he has zero tolerance and needs constant reasurance to keep cool (not captain material to me).

I think the mistake is coming from who is good enough to succeed Maldini, instead we should look for who can hold the team entact .. Maybe someone with wisdom, diplomacy, and experience ..

whoever becomes captain will have a lot of pressure on them becasue everyone expects a super milanista like rivera, baresi, and maldini. its just so sad to see maldini leave the team (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)
