AC Milan - Milanfan.com _ Past Players _ Paloschi
Posted by: KillerMax Feb 10 2008, 05:22 PM
Talk about the youngster super star here.
Will he become the next big thing for Italy?
Posted by: KillerMax Feb 10 2008, 05:24 PM
I think players like him always do.
Pato - Paloschi for now and the future!
Posted by: dst Feb 10 2008, 05:37 PM
I'm not convinced.
Then again, he does have a perfect record and he is the first player from the Primavera to participate in a (true) competitive game in recent years... 
So... I hope I'm terrible wrong cause I'd love to see a player from our youth system become great! 
Posted by: Tennie Feb 10 2008, 05:47 PM
What's impressed me about his performances (today and in the 2 Coppa games) more than his goalscoring - which for an 18 year old against some seasoned Serie A defenders is impressive enough - is his composure on the ball. He was fighting for balls, moving well, linking up with the other players, and generally working very very hard out there. He has a confidence that you don't often see in 18 year olds.
It's a little hard to say after 3 games, but at this point I think the kid really has potential to do well.

Alberto Paloschi
If I were him, I'd adopt myself the nickname "Apachi"! [the new version of Apache 
].
Posted by: Jack Sparrow Feb 10 2008, 06:44 PM
Will he be the next big thing for Italy, Max??
Italy can wait...I want him to be the big thing for Milan...
But speaking as one who's yet to see Milan play this season (
), what kind of player is he?
Poacher? Target Man? Finisher?

Our official website going gaga over Paloschi:
THE PROMISED ONE
On his Serie A debut, 18 seconds after coming on Alberto Paloschi decided the match against Siena with an extraordinary goal. For the 18-year-old it was the third goal in three official games with the Milan shirt.
(ON THE PICTURE: ALBERTO PALOSCHI'S JOY AFTER SCORING IN MILAN-SIENA 1-0)
MILAN - Alberto Paloschi, remember this name. It was the 18-year-old who gave Milan a crucial victory in the difficult match against Siena, he did it on the day of his Serie A debut, and he did it about 18 seconds after coming on with his first touch of the ball. Everything points to him being a predestined player.
It should have been the day of the odd couple Inzaghi-Ronaldo, and instead it was the 18-year-old from Chiari who contradicted all expectations. He did it with a disarming coldness which is typical of experienced strikers. 18 seconds after coming on, 'Palo' couldn't even experience the emotion of making his debut at San Siro, that he was already celebrating a goal after beating Manninger with a powerful shot on an incisive pass by Seedorf, thereby allowing Milan to open the score in a deadlocked match.
For Alberto Paloschi, who turned 18 on 4 January, it was the third goal in three official matches with the Milan shirt.
Remember Alberto Paloschi's name also considering Carlo Ancelotti's policy when it comes to young players. 
The Milan coach is known to allow young players chances only when he thinks they have the DNA of a world class player, such as the likes of Pato and Kaká. To call the player from his engagements with Filippo Galli's Primavera youth team at the Viareggio tournament was a courageous choice and indicates Ancelotti thinks he is ready for the big jump, ready to play alongside Ronaldo, Inzaghi, or Gilardino, or to control passes from the likes of Seedorf and Kaká.

Hmmm...also seems to contain a very subtle explanation as to the Gourcuff situation.
I still can't believe Yoann could turn out so bad...I guess he's a good player who can't fit into the system. And is not exceptional enough to warrant a change in system.
Posted by: Portikins Feb 10 2008, 07:07 PM
It's a little hard to say after 3 games, but at this point I think the kid really has potential to do well.
Just what I thought.
I like the kid.
So he's nick is Palo? Pato-Palo.
I don't like.

The kid is very promising, but let's not exaggerate.
Posted by: Fillipo Simone Feb 10 2008, 07:12 PM
papalapap and dada,..young players with 20 or so must adapt to every system. He's not ready, yet. Carlo hopefully know's what he's making. Today he would have fielded Gourcuff, but again nothing of him. So there must be something,..
Anyway, Paloschi had a good match. He'll score us a couple of goals this season, I'm pretty sure. But,..does that mean no Drogba, no new striker?
Posted by: dst Feb 10 2008, 07:19 PM
Yep, I guess this is it...
Posted by: Tennie Feb 11 2008, 01:34 AM
I took a little time to look at the Primavera pages on acmilan.com. Young Alberto is having a pretty good season. Here's his scoring tally to date (I hope. I don't THINK I miscounted):
Primavera League: 7 goals
Primavera Coppa: 4 goals
Torneo di Viareggio: 2 goals
Coppa Italia: 2 goals
Serie A: 1 goal
Posted by: Darunia Feb 11 2008, 03:29 AM
What impresses me most, like others have said, is Paloschi's composure. He looks like he has the potential to be a great finisher and he seems to have a natural knack for the goal.
Posted by: dst Feb 12 2008, 02:47 PM
“Watching Alberto score at San Siro with the shirt of the first team was for me a reason of great pride. In the 2 years with him, I tried to transmit to him my experiences and my knowledge. This is a lad with an extraordinary great work culture and huge capacity of learning. Alberto is a lad who has fun, he’s just waiting for the moment to play. The most important characteristic that will help him to become a fundamental player for the first team is his humbleness and that of his family. Alberto has the luck of being able to count on parents who have their feet to the ground and in the youth football this is fundamental.â€
From the technical point of view, Paloschi is a modern attacker who knows how to play upfront on his own. He’s also very generous, makes a lot of movement and spends a lot of energy on the pitch. Thanks to this characteristic at times he does not arrive too fresh in the penalty area, but with this mentality, with this sense of the team, he will go a long way. In the first years he wasn’t a great goal scorer, but now in front of goal he became deadly. He owes this to the work and the great commitment. Alberto is not born a natural talent like Di Gennaro, Alberto is a player who knew how to build himself season after season. He has improved a lot and will continue to do so. I’m really proud of him. Siena’s goal? Incredible coolness and explosiveness, but even in the past season towards the end of the league against Genoa he scored a similar goal. You will see, he will be able to reconfirm himself.â€
Posted by: Tennie Feb 12 2008, 03:10 PM
Wow. They translated that one quickly and mostly accurately! (it's from acmilan.com).
Nice words from Evani. He's clearly proud of the kid.
Might we finally be seeing a kid from the Primavera joining the first team?
Posted by: zdrossoneri Feb 12 2008, 03:27 PM
If Di Gennaro's so talented, why he's out on loan at a Serie B team [Bologna]?!
Posted by: Tennie Feb 12 2008, 03:38 PM
Because Di Gennaro is a trequartista and, well, Milan already have a bunch of those. (eg, he'd slot into a Seedorf or a Kaka role, possibly a Pirlo role though I believe he generally plays further up the pitch than Pirlo does). And Bologna are currently on top of Serie B. It's a good place for Di Gennaro to learn; he's also got the highest average player rating on the team (6.38).
Posted by: m1ke Feb 12 2008, 04:29 PM
Tennie, you're Milanfan's answer to John Motson 
Posted by: Tennie Feb 12 2008, 04:38 PM
Is this a good thing?
Posted by: Portikins Feb 12 2008, 05:09 PM
We've Seedorf, Kaka' and Kuu-Kuuf for that role.
But I do hope we have Di Gennaro in our squad soon. Kuu-Kuuf can play in Seedorf's position in the diamond, and Di Gennaro to rest Kaka' time to time.
He's still 19. And he's talented.
Posted by: Tennie Feb 12 2008, 07:48 PM
(I still want to know if the Motson comparison is a good thing!)
Poor Paloschi. The Italian sports media won't leave him alone. Gazzetta interviewed his mother (print edition; don't see it in the online edition). Mom's a housewife and Dad works in an aluminum factory.
Alberto has a little brother named Filippo. Apparently when his mother was pregnant with the younger brother, little Alberto put his ear to her tummy and stated, 'If it's a boy, let's call him Filippo. Like Inzaghi'.
Young Alberto is a good student and is doing the scientific high school in Italy (rather than the traditional classical one). He gets 8s in math (which I guess is good?).
He's also said - according to mom - that if he isn't successful as a footballer, he'd like to be a physiotherapist.
Posted by: KillerMax Feb 12 2008, 08:21 PM
Looks like everybody wants this kid to "keep his feet on the ground"... That's just others trying to keep him down. He needs a role model like Shevchenko, not Inzaghi and his coach or parents(from what's I've gathered). Inzaghi is a legend, but he believes in luck too much. I remember that Sheva always encouraged youngsters to believe in themselves and their ability. Oddo, Gattuso and Ambrosini should be all doctors or lawyers if they took Inzaghi-parenty kind of advice.
Posted by: Jack Sparrow Feb 12 2008, 08:28 PM
I dunno. You cannot have a record like Pippo's believing in luck and not in yourself. Let's not forget that Pippo's skills hardly measure up to Sheva's. Yet he is not what you can call a far lesser goal scorer by any means.
I can't wait honestly for Pippo vs. Gallas.
Posted by: KillerMax Feb 12 2008, 08:35 PM
I can't wait honestly for Pippo vs. Gallas.
He does believe in himself, because he thinks he is just born a football champion (pretty much what he said in a recent interview). That's were his conviction comes from and that amplifies his ability. But to keep telling a 18 year old to keep his feet on the ground and not take any risks and give him second and third paths in life 'just in case' is not helpful at all.
Posted by: Tennie Feb 12 2008, 09:12 PM
I don't think that's what the articles are aiming to show, Max. Maybe I'm not translating the Italian well, but my impression is that they're trying to present an image of Paloschi as a down-to-earth, kid-next-door type instead of a spoiled primadonna.
Posted by: Bluesummers Feb 13 2008, 04:02 AM
i'm very happy for him but he won't be a starter this season. Lets keep our attention focused on gila and pato.
Posted by: amancik Feb 13 2008, 06:09 AM
perhaps next season we'll have him and pato side-by-side ....
Posted by: nmcg Feb 15 2008, 04:36 AM
id luv to see pato and Paloschi playing of kuu-kuff
Posted by: nuh Feb 15 2008, 11:52 AM
i think people should leave this kid a lone i even read this newspaper say that he is better than pato just cuz he scored a winner vs siena
sooo they should i think shut up and let him play his football in peace
Posted by: rhy_A4 Feb 15 2008, 12:08 PM
i shouldve got his Autograph in Dubai shame on me !! 
Posted by: dst Feb 15 2008, 04:52 PM
ha-ha! you should have known better... I hope you'll still want to meet him in 10 years!!
Posted by: misha Mar 10 2008, 10:43 PM
He's one of the few good things to take from this season
Posted by: rhy_A4 Mar 10 2008, 11:00 PM
Oh i will , im keeping my fingers crossed for winter tour in Dubai again Derby del Derby VS inter
Posted by: Bluesummers Mar 11 2008, 12:21 AM
go school kid number 2 ! Lets see what you got!!
Posted by: Tennie Mar 20 2008, 03:48 AM
This has been, in general, a pretty lousy season for Milan.
One of the few bright spots this year has been the surprising emergence of Alberto Paloschi. He's come out of nowhere, relatively speaking, and has had an impact every time he's stepped onto the pitch. Clearly he's still got room to grow as a player both techically and physically (and an Italian friend of mine who has seen him play live says that he still looks like a kid even compared to Pato, who's only a few months older), but I am very, very encouraged.
We all expected (okay, some of us hoped) to see great things from one teenager -- and Pato has definitely not disappointed. I doubt any of us expected to see great things from a second. Finally, a primavera player seems to be making the move directly into the first team.
Forza Paloschi! 
Posted by: Bluesummers Mar 20 2008, 04:27 AM
forza the school kid! I'm very happy and i'm excited about his growth. He reminds me of inzaghi with more technical skill. Him and pato will lead milan to victory
FORZA SCHOOL-KIDS!!!!!!!!!!!
Posted by: Jack Sparrow Mar 20 2008, 05:07 AM
^^^
I think they're school dropouts(No Palo..still goes). Too bad dad my dad wouldn't let me quit school. I coulda been someone important... 
I also think it's very vital, that primavera keep showing up. The current balooning of prices for players, is sooner or later going to have an adverse impact. A primavera player is much cheaper, and an excellent option. Not to mention, more kids come this way.
Now if we could only see some promising people walk in from the mid-field and the defence.
Posted by: Tennie Mar 20 2008, 08:11 PM
(from acmilan.com's english language page)
MILANELLO – These are the declarations of Alberto Paloschi during the program ‘Milanello oggi’ which was on ‘Milan Channel’ at 1pm:
"These is a bit of disappointment for not managing to win the three points last night against Sampdoria. For how things went, a draw would have gone well, but unfortunately we did not manage.
“One of my characteristics is that of believing until the end, believing on every ball until the ball goes out or else the goalkeeper catches it.
“I arrived at Milan when I was eight years old. It was a surprise for me because a call-up letter arrived at my club by the Rossoneri’s club together with Atalanta. I did not expect it and in the end I chose Milan because it would have given me more possibility to play.
“Personally I consider the Primavera as my team. With the young Rossoneri’s formation we started out with the objective of taking something back home, but unfortunately the Coppa Italia and the Torneo di Viareggio did not go well. Now we hope in the Italian league.
“Last night between the first and second half, Pippo Inzaghi suggested to me to play between the two central defenders. His suggestions are always correct and very precious for me.
“Amongst my goals, the one I remember with most affection is the first one in Serie A against Siena. It’s the one that when I re-watch it, it gives me the most emotions. Then scoring at San Siro is surely a great emotion which I will never forget. This year I did not expect to many games with the first team, also because at the start of the season I also found difficulty with the Primavera formation. Then I made an effort, I worked a lot and little by little the first satisfactions arrived.
“Against Lazio I also played on the wing. It’s a role in which I find myself well and which I had already experimented with the Under 17. For the good of the team, one must adapt himself in any role.â€
During the program, Gianluca Temelin, Cremonese attacker and very respected by Alberto, called in.
“For me Temelin is like Pippo Inzaghi. He’s a player who manages to always score as soon as the ball goes to him inside the penalty area and he’s always ready. This is one of the most important things for us attackers.â€

Posted by: Tennie May 6 2008, 11:28 AM
Yesterday, Paloschi got the 'Niccolo Galli Memorial Award', given in memory of Giovanni Galli's son. Here's what he said at the awards ceremony in Florence:
'I remember my first game in Serie A this year, when I went in and scored against Siena. I remember having slept very little and thinking of that moment. I'm happy that Milan has reached Champions League qualification, the most positive thing about this peirod is that now our fate is in our hands and it depends on us and we as a team know what to do the last two games. The strength and the difference between us and our adversaries is the team: Inzaghi is a phenomoneon and remains a symbol in the rossoneri jersey. He was great winning the derby and reaching fourth place. Fiorentina has done a lot up til now and they won't give up until the season's over. I think we have paid in fatigue for the many games we've played. My future is definitely at Milan, I don't care if I don't play much; I'd be able to learn from the champions who are in the team.'
Forza Paloschi

That sounds like a true Milanista's words
Posted by: acid911 May 6 2008, 01:40 PM
The kid speaks the truth - the fate is in our hands, and it's up to keep or lose our fourth position. I just hope the team remembers this and gives their all in the final two matches, as they've given in the last few.
I'd hate another draw or slip up in this dying stage of the league. 
Posted by: Rossoneri7 May 6 2008, 04:26 PM
I hope he matures into a Pippo like player. Pippo cant play forever
Posted by: amancik May 10 2008, 10:39 PM
I wonder how many goals he has scored this season?
he scored twice against Catania if I'm not mistaken, and once against Siena. Is there more?
Posted by: kurtsimonw May 10 2008, 10:43 PM
I think he scored another, which I recall was against Sampdoria. I could be wrong about the team, but I'm certain he scored another goal.
Posted by: dst May 10 2008, 11:18 PM
Yes, Sampdoria. He pulled one back in the game we lost 1-2 at San Siro. One of the worst games of the last years.
Posted by: amancik May 10 2008, 11:25 PM
yah, I remember now.
so that's 4 goals in total. Not bad.
I wish to see more from him next season
Posted by: kurtsimonw May 10 2008, 11:32 PM
I'm sure you'll see more of the same. Unfortunately it will be (on loan) at another team!
Posted by: amancik May 11 2008, 05:46 PM
yah, just like any other player, that's a pity though. Paloschi should be monitored and trained with Milan. 4 goals scored show that he's got potential
Posted by: Devillito May 11 2008, 06:23 PM
Well, bless Carlo's tiny-tiny brain for that!
Posted by: Tennie May 23 2008, 02:52 AM
Well. Little Alberto is popular, it would seem. There are reports in the Italian press that Milan have received FOUR loan requests for Paloschi. The requests are apparently from Toro, Samp, Atalanta, and Reggina.
Posted by: zdrossoneri May 23 2008, 08:09 AM
I'd have liked him to stay in Milan, but apparently we have no choice but to loan him out. I just hope he goes to good team, not sh1tty Siena's and Reggina's.
Posted by: Fillipo Simone May 23 2008, 09:12 AM
Sampdoria would be the best destination. But I still think we should hang on him,..
Posted by: m1ke May 23 2008, 09:34 AM
^^ I'm not sure.. do you think he'd get much playing time there? I think I'd prefer him to play somewhere where he'll be getting lots of games under his belt.
Although with Samp, there's the possability that he'll gain some European experience as well.
Posted by: whoarethepatriots May 23 2008, 09:53 AM
Paloschi has been linked with Reggina, i think this may be a good destination for him. Not alot of pressure and he would get significant playing time
Posted by: Tennie May 23 2008, 11:26 AM
I think Samp and Atalanta would be the best destinations IF Milan decide to loan him out. Samp...well, the possibility of European experience is good. Atalanta because they seem to be rather good at bringing up good young players (both Montolivo and Pazzini are Atalanta primavera products).
Posted by: dst May 23 2008, 01:09 PM
Two of the four goals Paloschi has scored for Milan (the senior team) were incredible! It shows he's got it in him... but it's all about development from this point onwards...
I trust that the decision made will be the best for his future. Me, I'd like to see him at Fiorentina or Empoli. And the best thing we could do would be to loan Di Gennaro to the same team... they both great potential and if they learn to play alongside so soon then they'll be an amazing duo when/if they come back to mother Milan!
Posted by: KillerMax May 23 2008, 06:27 PM
Y'all should consider he will not get much playing time in Samp or Fiorentina. Reggina is too weak, yes, but he would get the most playing time there. I personally think Atalanta could be a good choice. They are the more balanced side and he could still play pretty frequently there. They play attacking and entertaining football and he could potentially score lots of goals there.
Posted by: acid911 May 23 2008, 06:58 PM
+1
Posted by: mishie May 23 2008, 07:25 PM
I agree Atalanta would be the best destination for him, as Tennie said their ability to bring youngsters on is well documented and they look a safe bet to push for top 6 next season and that way he can get used to a winning team rather than a relegation campaign
Posted by: Tennie May 24 2008, 01:03 AM
How would you feel if Paloschi were loaned to a Reggina that will be coached by Billy Costacurta?
That's the latest rumor: Billy to coach Reggina + Paloschi on loan.
Posted by: arivanjj May 24 2008, 02:57 AM
That's the latest rumor: Billy to coach Reggina + Paloschi on loan.
Paloschi. ok, it'll be a good start for him in Serie A
Billy. no, he's a great asset to us!
Posted by: Fillipo Simone May 24 2008, 09:47 AM
That's the latest rumor: Billy to coach Reggina + Paloschi on loan.
Would be very good, but I don't belive Billy will leave. And Reggina...hmh, he should at least wait for a better oppotunity..
Posted by: dst May 24 2008, 12:00 PM
I think Costacurta wants to leave... it seems to me that he wants to become a real manager, not an assistant.
Posted by: kurtsimonw May 24 2008, 03:33 PM
Yeah. He didn't seem very interested when he was offered the assistant job if I recall correctly.
Posted by: Fillipo Simone May 24 2008, 04:20 PM
It could be cause of Carlo being confirmed as Milan manager for next season?
Posted by: Rossoneri7 May 24 2008, 04:33 PM
Nah ... Costacurta is a licensed coach. That said, he didn't get his license to be the 2nd man. Plus, he needs the experience if he ever wants to coach Milan
Posted by: jefri91 May 24 2008, 07:39 PM
I heard hes going to Reggina for loan?? If true then this is very good
Posted by: KillerMax May 24 2008, 11:06 PM
I remember him saying he wanted to become Milan's transfer agent, but they wouldn't let him because he wanted to buy too many players... He wasn't very happy with Milan's transfer activity in the years leading up to his retirement.
Costacurta and Paloschi to Reggina? Costacurta, no. paloschi, sure. Billy needs to join a team with ambition. Doesn't matter how big.
Posted by: Fillipo Simone May 24 2008, 11:29 PM
Only Italian teams with ambition: Milan, Inter, Roma and Fiorentina. Maybe Lazio. Don't see Billy with any of them,..
Posted by: zdrossoneri May 25 2008, 02:09 PM
You mean Napoli don't have any ambition? because all I can see in them is ambition!
Posted by: Tennie May 25 2008, 02:17 PM
Napoli also has a confirmed coach in Edy Reja.
In any event, back on topic: depending on who you listen to, the most likely loan destinations for young Alberto (right now) are Samp or Reggina (with Billy).

MILANO - La prima partita dell'Italia alle fasi finali del Campionato Europeo Under 19 contro la Grecia, a Mlada Bolestav, si è conclusa con il risultato di 1-1. Per gli azzurrini ha segnato Alberto Paloschi su rigore al 90'.

Paloschi to the rescue Tuesday 15 July, 2008
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Milan young gun Alberto Paloschi saved Italy’s Under-19 side from defeat against Greece in their European Championship opener last night.
Italy are in Group B along with hosts the Czech Republic, England and Greece and they kicked off their campaign with a tricky test against the Greeks who were runners-up last time around.
Francesco Rocca’s young Italians won all their games in qualification for the tournament but they found themselves behind in Mlada Boleslav.
Michail Pavlis opened the scoring for Greece on 23 minutes with an impeccable finish to convert Sotiris Ninis’s inch-perfect through ball.
Italy fought back in the second period but were repeatedly frustrated in front of goal.
Newcastle United boy Fabio Zamblera thought he had scored when he poked home in a scramble after an effort from Cisco Roma product Andrea Mazzarani, but it was disallowed.
Just as defeat looked inevitable, Sampdoria’s Andrea Poli was felled in the box by Kyriakos Papadopoulos and the referee pointed to the spot.
Milan youngster Paloschi took responsibility and calmly struck the ball down the middle to level at the death.
The next test for Italy is a crunch match against England on Thursday. The English were beaten 2-0 by the Czech Republic and need to win to stay in the competition.
Italy Under-19: Fiorillo; Darmian, Bruscagin, Tagliani, Gentili; Mazzarani, Poli, Bonaventura; Forestieri, Paloschi, Zamblera

I really like Paloschi. I hope we keep him, even if it means we have to offload Borriello (I know it's harsh, but tbh I see a brighter future for us with Palo than Borriello)
Posted by: Jack Sparrow Jul 15 2008, 12:49 PM
Yes, Paloschi does seem to have that eager, 'I will work harder' attitude to him. While Borriello seems to throw the 'I'm the finished product, the alpha male with the supermodel gf...take it or leave it' attitude. But then again Borriello is 26 or so right?
Posted by: zdrossoneri Jul 15 2008, 12:57 PM
Agreed // what about it? does the age matter? Borriello might just prove every doubter wrong, but I wouldn't have taken the risk of bringing him back if I were Galliani. I would have kept Paloschi and signed Ronaldinho. now we are signing Ronaldinho, but I think in that case Palo will be loaned out and Bori will stay, which is... not ideal. I wanted Paloschi to be one of those one club mans.
Posted by: Fillipo Simone Jul 15 2008, 01:16 PM
Gee, even Billy isn't that man. And nowdays,..it's just very near to impossible. Anyway, what's the risk of bringing Borriello back? After 3 years of Gilardino we can't loose anything. And Palo..well I think that one season at Reggina were he would play constantly would really do more for him then a hectic Milan season with 5-10 Serie A appearences and some Coppa matches.
Posted by: Jack Sparrow Jul 15 2008, 01:23 PM
I mean, the reason why I brought up the age is that at that age (Palo's) the youngsters have not yet outgrown the hero worship phase and still eagerly chase their dreams, while at 26 Borriello has seen a lot more of the glitzy life, and not to mention might not be as motivated to improve himself as he was at 19. He might have already decided what works for him and what doesn't, and might not want to change himself in any way.
Posted by: maldini03 Jul 16 2008, 10:49 PM
Well on the topic i hope that he goes to Reggina, they are my second favorite team and they really need some sort of miracle to stay in Serie A every year. Plus Palo can help keep Reggina out of relagation get ample playing time, (No other forward there is even halfway decent) and gain that confidence that a youngster really needs. for the cherry on the cake he would be seen as a hero for keeping a team like Reggina safe from relagation.
Posted by: Jack Sparrow Jul 17 2008, 08:40 AM
If he can do a Genoa Borriello for whichever team he plays for next season, he's set to be our new number 9 I daresay!! Coz unlike Borriello he's already performed for us.
Posted by: zdrossoneri Jul 17 2008, 09:00 AM
There are Messi and Bojan in Barca. Miguel Torres in Madrid [whom I rate him highly]. I think we should have at least one...
I like the idea so much! #9 Paloschi.
Posted by: Portikins Jul 23 2008, 06:06 PM
So... where is he going then?
Posted by: CrazyMilanFan Jul 23 2008, 07:31 PM

Posted by: I_Rossoneri Jul 23 2008, 07:52 PM
Truesay that
Posted by: I_Rossoneri Jul 23 2008, 07:56 PM
I think the idea was to loan Paloschi out so he could get more playing time then he would get at Milan. As long as we keep him and don't let some other team own half of him then we'll ok. As for Borriello, he might have had a good season last season, but he's already shown us his 'class'
Posted by: dst Jul 24 2008, 01:03 PM
Borriello has performed for Milan quite a few times in the past.
Posted by: zdrossoneri Jul 25 2008, 03:09 PM
Torino have agreed terms with AC Milan for striker Alberto Paloschi. After clinching a co-ownership deal for Milan midfielder Ignazio Abate this week, La Stampa says Torino president Urbano Cairo has also struck terms for Paloschi.
A £1.7 million fee has been agreed for the 18 year-old forward, who is yet to discuss personal terms with Toro officials.
http://www.tribalfootball.com/article.php?id=103923
Is it true? only £1.7 million?
...Which 'class' are you referring to? the one we all love?!
Posted by: Tennie Jul 25 2008, 03:12 PM
I think tribal's making things up, at least a little bit. (or La Stampa is). There's buzz that Toro are interested in Paloschi but nothing concrete just yet.
Posted by: Tennie Jul 31 2008, 08:16 PM
And it seems highly unlikely that Paloschi will be going anywhere before January, what with Borriello not expected back from his injury until right before the first Derby.
The kid seems to be doing rather well though and I'm not at all disappointed that he's sticking around Milanello.
And before anyone looks at the 'Todays Headlines' for July 31 on Channel 4's site and freaks out....there's no need to. Paloschi is FINE, he's gone to Moscow, and the article in Tuttosport that Channel 4 references is talking about Paloschi being out of bounds for Toro to bring on loan this fall.

A DREAM BECOMES REALITY
MILANELLO - Here are the declarations made today by Alberto Paloschi to 'Milan Channel''s microphones at the Milanello sporting center:
Alberto, a year ago you celebrated the Scudetto with the Allievi Nazionali, but now you're here in Milan's center after an important season and summer.
"They are all nice experiences to make for me, new experiences. It's very nice to be here with great champions. I thank everyone for the compliments which I have received this summer, I've received many compliments from important people and that certainly gives satisfaction.
I started as a youngster in this club and I'm here unexpectedly with the first team. It was my dream since I was little and it's very nice."
What did the experience at the European Under 19 championship give you?
"It was certainly a very good opportunity to show myself. Our objective was to qualify to the intermediate phase in which we also managed to beat France who were the favorites. Then the first objective became the qualification for the World Cup and slowly we managed to get to the final against Germany. It went badly, but Germany showed they were an excellent team.
Our best game I think was against the Czech Republic, it was the most important one to get through, the whole team played an excellent match."
And then you found yourself playing in the Tim Trophy and the Moscow Tournament...
"They were great matches to play, as soon as Milan called me I said yes even though I had to skip the vacations."
What are your objectives for the new season?
"I hope to do well and improve. Last year I scored four goals and I want to continue working to improve and score many more goals."

Oh man I like this young guy. I really wish him well and a spot-less, long lasting career with us..

Posted by: Jack Sparrow Aug 8 2008, 06:35 AM
I think Paloschi needs to decide soon, whether he's going to be a goal poacher or a targetman...and work towards it.
He needs to improve his off the ball runs a lot, and of course touch is something you can always improve.
Posted by: Bluesummers Aug 8 2008, 06:41 AM

lol relax it takes time. Hes not gifted like pato so he'll take a few years but hes got potential. This year i'm gonna say he'll score 10 goals.
Posted by: Jack Sparrow Aug 8 2008, 06:45 AM
Yeah 10-12 goals in all competitions will I think be very good. More than that I want to see how well he integrates with the rest of the team.
It would be interesting with so many youth players purchased,we're gonna like Arsenal have a whole Milan U-23s playing in the Coppa Italia.

If he's supposed to remain a Milan player then I hope he doesn't leave on loan, or co-ownership ****. he can be Milan's first one-club man since God.

Milan young gun Alberto Paloschi could be on his way to Serie B hopefuls Bari on a season loan.
The Italian Under-19 international made a name for himself on the senior stage when he scored within seconds of taking to the field in his debut against Siena last season.
But with the arrival of Ronaldinho and Marco Borriello, Paloschi isn’t likely to play a significant role in the coming campaign and is set to be sent out to gain experience.
“I have asked Milan for Paloschi,” Bari sporting director Giorgio Perinetti confirmed. “The player’s agent agrees and now it is down to the Rossoneri.”
Paloschi has stressed his delight at wearing the Diavolo shirt, but he is ready to accept a spell in the Second Division if it helps his development.
“The only thing that matters to me is growing physically and technically,” the 18-year-old insisted.
“Whether I stay with Milan or go somewhere else, that is all I will be thinking about. I know that the club will find the right solution for me.”
channel4.co.uk/footballitalia
Bari would be a good club to join with Antonio Conte as manager they started to play some good football towards the end of last season. Lanzafame was there last year and earned a move to Palermo off the back of his performances.
Posted by: acid911 Aug 15 2008, 04:12 PM
+1. Now only if they kept him in Milan.
With the continuous injury crisis we have with our strikers, he's bound to learn more than if he went to another club as 2nd or 3rd choice striker.
Posted by: Giancarlo Aug 15 2008, 04:20 PM
I think he's gonna stay and I think staying at Milan can actually be great for his development. He'll get first team football... and with all these young players, the people who bash our team for being too old won't have any ground to stand on. I personally think Paloschi could be the next Inzaghi...
Posted by: drucurl Aug 15 2008, 07:29 PM
Posted by: Portikins Aug 15 2008, 10:06 PM
Would Paloschi be happy to play 3 or 4 Coppa matches this season? I don't think so.
Posted by: Giancarlo Aug 16 2008, 12:12 AM
Perhaps because he hasn't the same amount of playing time as Bojan and Aguero, and just turned 18 just a while ago. Give the kid a break. Do you even know what kind of goalscorer Paloschi is? He's closer to Inzaghi... not Ronaldo. He's a poacher and he's just 18 years old. He was in the primavera team not too long ago.
Paloschi is not as good as Pato that's for sure... but he's on his way to being like Inzaghi.
And are you bloody kidding me? We didn't get along before and you had to show here just to harass me some more?
*snipsnip* edit made
Portikins, He could get a lot of competitive playing time considering our injury crisis... not just Coppa Italia matches. Even if Pato and Ronaldinho come back. Inzaghi won't play as much as he used to.
I think people should consider what they post before they post and think carefully.
Edit: Toned Down a tad.
Posted by: kurtsimonw Aug 16 2008, 12:31 AM
*snipsnip* edit made
He gave some valid points, like his shot selection. Pretty much every shot he hit against Man City, Joe Hart didn't need to move to sve it, they were right at him.
And he isn't as good as Bojan or Aguero, and never will be in my opinion, I feel they're just far superior. That's no criticism of Paloschi at all, it's like saying Seedorf isn't as good as Kaka', it doesn't mean he's bad.

I think his criticism is unfair and frankly inappropriate. Lets face it. The kid has had to play tons of matches (more than any of the Man City or Milan players). He was in a major tournament.
That's your opinion. I think if Paloschi develops more he will be better than Bojan. I think Bojan is a tad bit overrated, but then again I don't have a high opinion of Barcelona so that may impact my opinion.

Sorry If I offended you this is a new forum and we should all be
Anyway when I spoke about Ronaldo I simply meant that there are aspects of being a striker that ANY young player could learn from him. Ronaldo is versed in almost all arts of striking...because even though he would be remembered for his Ronaldinho-like performances at Barca and Inter (actually he was >>>Ronaldinho)- he was a better RVN striker than....well RVN
at Real Brazil and Milan. So Paloschi might not pick up the art of picking up the ball from half field and running to goal....but he might learn how to place his shots better for instance.....It would be invaluable in actually turning him into the next Inzaghi.

Now wait a minute,... First say, why do you think Bojan is better then Palsochi? Have you ever seen him play in a barca formation like this for exmaple: Valdes- Oleguer, Marquez, Edmilson, Sylvinho - Yaya, Xavi, Busquets, Guðjohnsen, Zambrotta - Bojan? Or did you see him only play amongst Ronaldinho, Deco, Iniesta, Messi,.. cause it aint the same.
Secondly, if you base your statement on his ratio or appearences I agree. But saying he never will be better then Bojan and Aguero is...just a prediction like me saying Inter won't win anything in the next 20 years. It's just not founded.
IMO Paloschi is a old-fashioned italian striker, who will develop until his 24-25 year and reach his peak at let's say 28. Like the 80'ties strikers did. And he never will get the hype Bojan did get, on that I'm sure. He's just very much different.

I just think he has alot more talent. Right now Paloschi is not in the same league as Bojan, and I don't think he ever will be. It's like trying to say Pippo is say.. better than a guy like Raul. He never has been and never will be, they're both World class at what they do, but Pippo in terms of football ability is very average, while Raul is superb.
Now, it's my opinion, that's all. Like I don't think Liverpool will win the league title for at least another 10 years, or I don't think Carlo will win another major trophy as Milan manager, or that Nani will never be as good as Ronaldo. They're just opinions, that's all. And besides, if you think me saying "Paloschi will never be as good as Bojan" is 'wrong' to say, IF you disagree with it, you're essentially saying "Paloshchi WILL be as good as Bojan" which is just as wrong and unfounded as my opinion.
I think Paloschi will be a good striker in the future, but better than Bojan? I don't think so. Hype doesn't mean anything, if anything it's a disadvantage for Bojan since he has alot more pressure, but I still think he'll be a better player, that's all.
Posted by: Tennie Aug 16 2008, 12:30 PM
Why are we comparing Bojan and Paloschi anyway? They're different sorts of players.
Posted by: kurtsimonw Aug 16 2008, 12:36 PM
They are, but you can still compare their footballing ability. At least I think you can. Paloschi will be a good player, no doubt. But the position he plays is so.. 'untalented' in a way. He may be very good at what he does one day, like Pippo, but that doesn't mean he'll have much ability as a footballer. That's all I'm trying to say anyways.
Posted by: Tennie Aug 16 2008, 12:47 PM
I think even the Milan youth coaches will agree with you on that one, Kurt. I do as well. 
In an old issue of Forza Milan magazine, there's a nice piece on Paloschi. Fillipo Galli (I think; one of the primavera coaches) commented that of the kids he's coached, Di Gennaro is much more of a natural talent. But Paloschi works very hard and is constantly trying to improve. I think the Paloschi-Pippo comparison is a good one. I love Pippo to death, but he's not a player gifted with loads of natural talent. His positioning sense, however, is second to none.
Posted by: Rossoneri7 Aug 16 2008, 12:49 PM
For a box striker ... You don't necessarily need to be like CR or Ronaldinho. All you need is the brains, the positioning and a lethal shot. If Paloschi can develop in those areas, I think he will have gotten his football abilities to 'his' maximum. And this is Milan after all, he will always be guaranteed champions backing him up and feeding him balls.
Posted by: kurtsimonw Aug 16 2008, 02:49 PM
Agreed. Though I don't even think you need a powerful shot. I bet I could kick a ball better than Pippo, but it's his ability to nicely roll it into the corner of the net that makes him so clinical in front of goal. If Paloschi can be anything like Pippo I'll be happy. We have Pato to be out 'Bojan' and have all the ability.
Posted by: Rossoneri7 Aug 16 2008, 03:03 PM
True .. I think you can take Inzaghi second goal against Reina and teach it to all strikers, the positioning, the coolness in his blood, the way he thought one step ahead on Reina and tucked it right under him ...
I bet Paloschi is getting lessons as we speak
So anyways, when is Pippo playing again ? Is it against Juve ?
Posted by: drucurl Aug 16 2008, 03:05 PM
Because for all the positional sense Inzaghi has, if he was a tad more skilled he would have set records with the amount of goals scored.....actually we were hoping that something like that would have happened with Gila... but that's another story 
Posted by: acid911 Aug 16 2008, 03:28 PM
I'm pretty positive they won't risk Pippo tomorrow.
Maybe the first match when the season starts.
Posted by: Fillipo Simone Aug 16 2008, 04:12 PM
In that case...Bojan is better. Even better then Buffon..

I saw the Parma game on Friday (almost WENT to the game actually, but just missed the train so...). Paloschi came on after the break and though he didn't score, he looked very good. Had a couple of extremely good chances (other team's keeper was on his toes) and Gazzetta gave him a 6.5 rating, which for them is pretty good.
Young Alberto is wearing the 43 jersey for Parma.

Don't have any photos, but I did watch the match (I was in Italy and it was televised). He did really well. Moved well, created chances, and generally was impressive. He came on at the beginning of the second half. Gazzetta gave him a 6.5 rating and the Parma fans I know were pleasantly impressed with him. They like him.

You just sit and watch. I pretty sure about it, but since we have a good relationship with Parma I think they'll sort out some kind of deal!

I still can't believe we let this guy go.
Both Parma and Siena were Serie A teams. Or used to be. I just hope we don't run into any striker crises through the course of the season. That'd be oh, so bad.

That'd be oh, so bad.Well we do have Boriello back, so atm we have 3 fit strikers, Pato, Shevchenko & Boriello. When I say fit I mean not injured. I think letting Paloschi grow in Parma is probably a good idea. We don't want him to struggle to get play time due to competition. Plus, I think Boriello is good enough to do the job.

If we kept him he would get no playing time at all. We have four strikers (Pato, Borriello, Sheva, Inzaghi)... all four are in playing shape right now (I think Inzaghi is in playing condition right now). I think having more than that would be excessive. He would be fine playing in Parma to gain experience.
Posted by: acid911 Sep 7 2008, 09:02 AM
Very valid points guys, but I've seen clubs have a good 6 strikers (forwards). The thing is I don't want us to be sorry in the middle of the season if two of our attackers get injured and one goes completely out of form. Plus, I don't think UEFA Cup is on that strong of an agenda this season. Serie A is. Paloschi could have played UEFA Cup matches, and that would have kept our main strikers fit for tougher League matches.
And contrary to what the management believe, I don't consider Kaka, Seedorf and Ronaldinho forwards. They may get a bucketload of goals, but still they are AMs in my eyes. It's equally bad when we promoted Seedorf and Kaka to more attacking roles when we had that little striker crisis last season.
Send Paloschi to another club is an okay idea. I just hope we waited a little while before going ahead with it. Maybe it's just me, but I don't want ANY excuses not to win the Scudetto this season.

I can swear they have only two good strikers (Ibra and Balotelli) and the rest are... average. Even then they were off loading several. I think David Suazo was loaned out to Benfica. Now they only have 4 or 5 (was Crespo released?).... 4 strikers is more than enough.
I don't consider Kaka, Seedorf or Ronaldinho forwards either... but since we have that attacking depth to our midfield, we only need four strikers. There is no need to have more than 4. I think Kaka is more of an attacking midfielder, but Ronaldinho I've seen fill the second striker role quite well...
Since we got Sheva, Paloschi would have to go on loan... it would be best for his development. He's not yet Milan ready I don't think...

Completely agree with you on this.
acid I know you wanted to keep Paloschi as a one club man but, fact is that if we kept him he would be more then wasted on the bench especially with the 1 striker system Carlo plays, he would even find it hard to get into Coppa matches with the attacking players we have in attack and midfield.
And besides, going on loan for a year or 2 won't really make any difference Costacurta was loaned out for a year but no one seems to remember that little fact because of all the things he did at Milan.
If Paloschi really becomes as big as some think he will his year at Parma will more then be forgotten
Posted by: acid911 Sep 7 2008, 02:48 PM
Well put. Can't disagree with your post, Han, if I tried. But I guess, I'm very possessive when it comes to my one-club-players. I know we won't field our strongest side in the UEFA Cup, Paloschi could have been good in those matches. But oh, well what's happened has happened.
Maybe it's for the good. 
Posted by: Tennie Sep 7 2008, 02:58 PM
Hey, even Billy went on loan for a year (to Monza). There's hope for the kid. I'd love to see him being a big star at Milan.
For what it's worth, the Parma fans I know are referring to him as a 'gran bel giocatore' (rough translation - 'a great player') and are happy he's there. Supposedly, he's been better than Lucarelli in both games Parma's played since his arrival (the Serie B tie with Rimini and the friendly with Siena).

I think it is for the good, it would be hard even to get into the UEFA Cup, we have 4 striker to rotate for just 1 single position. Palo wouldn't nearly get enough playing time to help him develop. at parma he'll probably play somewhere close to 30 games, something he couldn't have at Milan. Hopefully next year Parma get promoted and we'll leave him there for another year in Serie A.
I think this would help him a lot in terms of how he develops.

I see this as a good thing for both teams. We help them out with promotion back to Serie A, and they help us out by giving him a lot of playing time.
Posted by: kurtsimonw Sep 7 2008, 06:18 PM
Julio Cruz is far from being average. He is a very, very effective player. I certainly wuldn't complain if he was ever at Milan. He may never put on a World class performance.. but he doesn't play bad either. Consistantly very good.
Posted by: TriniKing_CE Sep 8 2008, 12:38 AM
I completely agree with you Kurt with regards to Julio Cruz.
Posted by: Giancarlo Sep 8 2008, 01:13 AM
He's so-so. Besides Balotelli and Ibra... he's probably the best of the rest. I can't say the same about the others though.
Posted by: acid911 Sep 8 2008, 06:28 AM
Ditto.
He's consistent. And decently good. A lethal combo.

Paloschi scored the first goal of Parma against Ancona
Posted by: Giancarlo Sep 13 2008, 03:54 PM
That's important for him, and I know that playing for Parma and getting all this playing time... will be extremely important for his development.
Posted by: vahid Sep 13 2008, 03:56 PM
It was just his second game 
Posted by: Tennie Sep 13 2008, 03:58 PM
The Parma fans I know absolutely adore young Alberto. Wont' talk to 'em til tomorrow but I'm sure they'll be thrilled he scored. Gigi Cagni is coaching Parma this season and he seems to do well with bringing along young talents. Paloschi is in a good place.
Posted by: TriniKing_CE Sep 13 2008, 04:50 PM

This time last year I hadn't even heard of this guy.
Posted by: Tennie Sep 14 2008, 03:13 AM
Not a lot had, Kurt. He'd just been promoted to the Primavera from the Berretti. Paloschi was one of the few bright spots from last year.

Parma were playing yesterday, anybody know if Palo played and how he did?
Posted by: kurtsimonw Sep 14 2008, 08:33 AM
I believe they won 4-1 and he scored. I can't say how he played though, I didn't see it.
Posted by: Tennie Sep 14 2008, 10:21 AM
Paloschi played the full 90 minutes and did score the first goal (a header from a corner kick).
From what I gather, he did quite well.
Posted by: han2503 Sep 14 2008, 11:19 AM
Gald to see he's doing so well
Posted by: acid911 Sep 14 2008, 11:47 AM
You go kid! He's doing much better than I thought he'd. After all, he's Made in Milan.
Posted by: drizzt Sep 14 2008, 11:53 AM
got this from parma's website.. this is the moment when he scored the first goal.. followed bt lucarelli's brace and matteini's goal.. looks like a new inzaghi is born..
Posted by: Tennie Sep 14 2008, 01:55 PM
^^ Thanks for that, drizzt! Great picture!
I suspect young Alberto will be pleased with his rating from Gazzetta (picked up the print edition after Mass this morning). They gave him a 6.5 and congratulated him on his goal 'alla Inzaghi'.

Young Alberto is playing today. Parma are playing against Albinoleffe, a game that had been postponed earlier.
It's 0-0 at halftime. Eurosport Italia is doing text commentary (in italian). No clue about any streams.
Posted by: acid911 Sep 16 2008, 06:44 PM
I hope he scores today again. A brace, preferably.

Parma 2 - 2 Frosinone
Paloschi could have been a hero but missed a chance that could have sealed the game for Parma.

How many he scored this seasom already? 3-4?
Posted by: acid911 Sep 23 2008, 10:26 PM
I think he's scored what two, maybe. Either way it's good for him, and besides he's got twice as many than any of our players in the league. Go Paloschi! 
Posted by: Rivaldo Sep 23 2008, 10:35 PM
Yep, Go go Alberto!
I think, he will be nice sub to Inzaghi. I want not he repeated Boriello's story. He should be in squad next season.
Posted by: acid911 Sep 23 2008, 11:02 PM
+1.
I didn't quite want him to go, but now that he has, he should be back next year.
Posted by: Rivaldo Sep 23 2008, 11:17 PM
Agreed. I ever wanted him to stay and Boriello lieve)))
But now I see Marco is quite good and has nice chanses to play as he can from third attempt at Milan.
Sorry for my English))) I didn't practised last two years.
Posted by: acid911 Sep 24 2008, 01:25 AM
I wanted Paloschi to remain a one-club man!
He is a really nice kid and I'm sure will be our next Inzaghi.Too soon to tell about Borriello, but from what I've seen till now, the signs are good.
Forza Marco!No worries. Your English is fine.
I've seen far worse!
Posted by: Mook Sep 24 2008, 02:17 PM

Posted by: zdrossoneri Nov 16 2008, 08:15 AM
Yesterday I was watching parts of Ascoli-Parma of Serie B. that was when I began to wonder was sending him out on loan to a Serie B side the right thing??? he was on the pitch but rarely touched the ball, very little involved. he was way more influential in Milan, even when he came on as a substitute...
Posted by: zdrossoneri Nov 16 2008, 08:16 AM
I don't know how he is doing overall [and how many goals he's scored], but last night's game didn't seem to be going well for him.
Posted by: acid911 Nov 16 2008, 01:02 PM
So much for co-ownership, huh?
Posted by: Tennie Nov 16 2008, 01:11 PM
Interesting. The parma game I saw when I was in Italy was just the opposite: Paloschi was MOM for Parma, better even than Lucarelli who is by no means a poor striker.
Posted by: zdrossoneri Nov 16 2008, 01:25 PM
Ascoli-Parma?
Posted by: acid911 Nov 16 2008, 01:29 PM
He actually still has 2 goals from 11 matches, so while he's playing it's either that he comes on late, or is out of touch. I would love to follow his matches if I could and see how the kid's progressing.
If zd is right, then it's a tad worrying to be honest.
Posted by: Tennie Nov 16 2008, 02:03 PM
I didn't see the Ascoli game, no. Can't recall off the top of my head which game it was; it was in late August when I was in Italy. In that game, Paloschi was quite good. Perhaps the Ascoli game was a bad day at the office.
As for Parma itself, the club as a whole has only scored 18 goals (per their website). 2 out of 18 isn't spectacular but it's not a total disaster either.

He got a rating of 7 for the Leffe game too. Saw a clip of the goal and it's totally the Pippo goal celebration.
Posted by: Tennie Feb 5 2009, 01:22 PM
So I think we can be pretty sure that Young Alberto will be starting Parma's game against Ancona tomorrow. Cristiano Lucarelli left training early and without permission and as a result, he wasn't even called up for the game.
Posted by: whoarethepatriots Feb 5 2009, 01:57 PM
I guess Lucarelli wont be staying at the club for much longer. Palo is begining to pick up some serious form, i hope it continues for our, Alberto's and Parma's sake
Posted by: Tennie Feb 22 2009, 08:39 PM
Not sure if there's interest or whether streams are available, but Parma-Brescia is kicking off right now. Paloschi is starting.
It's being shown on RAI-international (for those who hunt out streams). This'll be the first time in a couple of months I've been able to watch Young Alberto.
EDIT: There's a female commentator doing play by play.
Posted by: Tennie Feb 22 2009, 09:17 PM
GOAL PALOSCHI in the 33rd. Just riding the offside line, got a through ball and slotted it neatly past the keeper. He even does the Pippo Face when he celebrates.
Posted by: Tennie Feb 22 2009, 10:20 PM
And that was the winning goal. Parma beat Brescia and leapfrog them in the standings.

Fishdoll might have to bite you for not bolding Bari, Habitant. He's fond of the Great Chicken Banner.
That said, it's pretty much between those 4 as to who goes up. They're all good squads.
Today's game was really quite entertaining, for all that there was only one goal scored. Lots of action, more than a couple of goalmouth scrambles, etc etc.
Paloschi is clearly a favorite at the Tardini (it was a home game for Parma). The commentator referred to him as (direct translation) 'the little jewel'. He did quite well, not counting the goal.
Posted by: kurtsimonw Feb 22 2009, 11:11 PM
I hope he makes it, would be nice to have a youth product in the side, most of the recent ones didn't turn out so well.
Posted by: Tennie Feb 22 2009, 11:24 PM
Yes and no, kurt. Ignazio Abate has been doing quite well for Toro (not his fault the rest of the team hasn't) and the U21s, for example. He regularly gets ratings (italian scale) of 6.5-7, which is higher than most of Milan's squad. Di Gennaro seems to have learned to apply himself at Reggina (he's getting starts, which is good).
Posted by: Zed.D Feb 23 2009, 02:57 PM
I still wish we hadn't sent Paloschi out on loan. he was not just a potentially good player, he was actually doing good.
I think loaning Darmian would have been a wiser decision...
Posted by: acid911 Feb 23 2009, 03:05 PM
+100.
I'd actually have wanted both of them to be one-club men.
They had it in them, and seriously were playing Emersons and Brocchis as subs in every game, when those last 10~20 minutes should have gone to these players. Had it worked out, I think both should have been near ready for the starting XI by now!

Posted by: Jack Sparrow Feb 24 2009, 06:22 AM
Well...as I read it somewhere..Paloschi opted to go for loan, while Darmian refused..so there...
Posted by: MizNelson Feb 24 2009, 06:44 AM
Would that be something like "Gioiello Piccolo"?
I'd rather have Paloschi gain some much-needed experience with another club, rather than waste away on the bench while not being thrown to the Serie A lions right away over here, therefore denting his confidence. You can tell he's enjoying where he is right now. Therefore, it works out for both parties.
Posted by: Jack Sparrow Feb 24 2009, 06:54 AM
I agree with Miz. I think it's working out well. I was worried initially coz he didn't look to be playing a lot, but the Lucarelli fiasco has really worked out fine for him.
Another benefit is that our relationship with Parma is maintained. Since Paloschi seems to be playing a big role in getting them to the top half of the table. Next season I think Darmian should be loaned out as well.
Hopefully get in a CB, and we can extend Senderos's loan by a year (again hopefully) to make up the numbers. Do we bring in Paloschi back? Not sure. I think we should decide how Borriello is doing fitness wise...if he can't play any part this season, then he should be considered another Ambro-like case, and cover should be brought in.
Posted by: il_diavolo_mtl Feb 24 2009, 07:00 AM
ii rate boriello above paloschi though, sorry
Posted by: Ro Rossonera Feb 24 2009, 07:05 AM
Borriello has played what 7 games this season? The rest he's been out injured...he's far to much of a risk to be able to be counted on 100%. I would rather have Paloschi than an injured unable to play most of the season Borriello.
We need a striker that is tall, is good with his head and in the air, also not offside all the time. Not saying that Palo fits these qualities but still.
Posted by: Tennie Feb 24 2009, 01:20 PM
It would indeed, Miz. Fishdoll is impressed by your language skills.

Paloschi needed experience. He was far too raw. A season playing as a regular will be good, then a season playing week in week out against Serie A opposition better. He needs to stay at Parma for another year
He is very popular with Crociati fans
That's what it says on wiki
I wouldnt rely on wikipedia, but he is co-owned by Parma
Posted by: Bluesummers Feb 24 2009, 11:53 PM
yup co-owned. We can buy him anytime we wish for 3.5 i think... not really sure, something around that value.
Posted by: Bluesummers Feb 25 2009, 12:09 AM
Co-owned by Parma and Milan, Paloschi holds hopes of returning to the San Siro to emulate 'Super Pippo'...
Alberto Paloschi burst onto the scene last season, scoring a winning goal in his first Serie A appearance for Milan.
The 19-year-old was deemed surplus to requirements this season and is now playing at Parma in a co-ownership deal. However, he admits he is likely to return to the San Siro in the future.
"Obviously my dream is to play at a big club like Milan, but [playing at] Parma is an important step," explained Paloschi to Tuttosport. "I want to win the Serie B championship and then perhaps I could play another year here."
The young star, who has scored five times during this campaign, admits he learned a great deal from Rossoneri team-mate Filippo Inzaghi and wants to follow in the veteran goal-scorer's footsteps.
"[Inzaghi] remains a tutor for me,” he explained. “He always [tells young strikers to] take the depth that the defenders give you. I did just that for my goal on Sunday; I found the right space and exploited a great pass [like Inzaghi often does]."
Paloschi is now a fixture in the Italy Under-21 side and is considered one of the greatest prospects in the country. 35-year-old Inzaghi has scored over 100 goals since joining Milan in 2001.

Another year? F*** that bulls***. You aint going anywhere. Get rid of Sheva and boriello, buy another foreward and buy back our own product.

to hate a young player you have clearly never seen perform (very well may i add) in boriello is to hate your parents for giving you life...

oh yeah 26/27 year old player. Real young whipper snapper. I mean hes got till 45 with us so no worries right. We'll leave him on the bench, hes too young to get playing time. Especially with inzaghi just entering his prime years.

Well put!

Today's game: Parma 4 - 1 Empoli
Young Alberto started the game and scored one of Parma's goals, right on the stroke of halftime.

5 goals so far for young Alberto, if he keeps up the good work we might see him comeback.

Forza Alberto!

I think it's 7 goals this season? The one thing of note is that he's now preferred to start instead of Cristiano Lucarelli. THAT says something, as Lucarelli is hardly a bad striker. Unfortunately for Parma, Young Alberto picked up his fifth yellow at the weekend (dissent) and is suspended for the midweek game.

Wow, why can't Milan realize how amazing he is? He could be Pippo's heir and we have him out on loan! We could have Pato and Paloschi right now terrorizing the defense of the opposing teams.
Obviously there is something there if he's knocked Cristiano Lucarelli down the pole

First of all, Lucarelli is more-less a persona non grata at Parma. And secondly, Milan is realizing his potential. But it would be more then dreamy to expect Paloschi selected with Pippo, Pato, Sheva, Borriello and Ronaldinho, which all were avaible at season start. And 7 goals in Serie B still don't mean he'd "terrorize A-class defenses". Paloschi's deal is one of the more rational moves our management made.

Have to agree with Pippo. I'm really happy with the way Paloschi's deal is progressing. Hopefully, he'll help Parma get promoted, and can have one proper season in the top flight. Unless of course, Parma decide to buy someone 'bigger' for Serie A.

The youngster told Il Corriere dello Sport, “I scored my first goal against Siena too, and I remember as a child, buying Inzaghi’s No. 9 shirt, whoever he was playing for.
“He is my idol because of the way he moves and is so aware of what is going on, sometimes it seems he isn’t on the pitch, but when it comes to it he is always there.
“I hope to do as well as him, who at 35-years-old just keeps getting better.
“I sent him a text message yesterday saying, ‘Well, you just break all the records don’t you’, but he did not answer because he must have received thousands.”
Parma currently lie third in Serie B and Paloschi says his first dream is to help them back into Serie A.
Soon we'll have him soon....
Another season with parma/ or another club and he'll return to us at 20.

How can you say Paloschi should have stayed with us? Even if Wenger was our coach, the kid would not get half the playing time he gets at Parma. That would surely hold him back.
In any case, I don't see what the fuss is all about... Paloschi has done fairly good at Parma but what's so special about him?

because he is amongst balotelli and giovinco in talent and potential. Or would you rather us invest in dentinho/keirrison/ guilherme who are better?
The only reason i like him is because he and darmian are very talented and we produced them and they want us. We should develop these kids not sell them or ruin them.
Posted by: dst Mar 16 2009, 07:18 PM
I don't think Paloschi is anywhere near Balotelli or Giovinco in terms of quality.
Posted by: amancik Mar 16 2009, 09:05 PM
We do need a replacement for Inzaghi sooner or later, and you can't deny he's got the closest resemblance to Pippo in terms of movement, celebration, passion & style.
He may not possess the quality of Balotelli or Giovinco, but then again, when we speak of Pippo, do we speak of quality? I heard somewhere from someone saying Paloschi was born offside...hurm...don't know what's that about though...
Posted by: dst Mar 16 2009, 09:15 PM
I get what you're saying. Paloschi could surely be Pippo's successor in Milan and the Italian NT but right now I don't think his displays warrant the fuss we've created around his name.
Posted by: amancik Mar 16 2009, 09:21 PM
not yet...
Posted by: dst Mar 16 2009, 09:29 PM
Well that's what I'm saying...
Posted by: amancik Mar 16 2009, 09:50 PM
yeah I know ... but I can't put my hopes too high on him to succeed though, he could turn out to be an average player after all...
