"Unless there is an unexpected glitch at this late stage, the move should go through imminently and is designed to help energise the Milan support, who have only purchased 16,000 season tickets in comparison to the 27,000 that had been sold at this stage last year." goal.com article
Its interesting to see the real impact of our managements choices. Here 11k season tickets lost thats millions of euro in losses plus you think of the other purchases food and memorabilia. The franchise of AC Milan as a entity has really lost its prestige in the worlds eyes. What crisis are milan really in, get a loan or something or investment from somewhere else. This is the real crisis letting your brand sink into the dirt. I hate Galliani and Berlusconi.
Boateng is a needed addition. I mean we are depleted in every area on the pitch of first rate choices. Today I was watching the Man City game and the list of players they got and how much they spent, like 200 million euro. I was also thinking of how right people on this forum were in the past about Kompany and De Jong becoming great players. I think the people on this forum could make better decisions than Galliani and much of the management of this team. I was one of the Torres people, get Torres, I also said Milito when he played on Real Zaragoza and Sneider when he was an outcast at Madrid. I think Mourinho was reading my posts.
I have also read they are trying to get Ibrahamovic on loan from Barcelona. I'm not his biggest fan but this is the kind of player we have been needing since Schevchenko left this club. If he could get back to his best we would be a really strong team with a big player like this.
Overall I haven't seen on the website that Boateng has taken a medical or anything so nothing is set in stone. |

QUOTE (han2503 @ Jul 28 2010, 04:20 PM) Well Silvio has a lot of demands doesn't he? But nothing to back that up He wants Dinho closer to goal Doesn't want Pato playing wide Wants to play with 2 strikers Wants to see attacking flowing football (IMG: style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) (IMG: style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) The man is definately senile. he's ridiculous. Hopefully Allegri flips him off and plays what he thinks is best, if Silvio has any complaints he can coach the team himself and we'll see how long it takes before we're fighting relegation (IMG: style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) We can't play with 2 striker and Dinho closer to goal. So we either play the 4-3-1-2 with Dinho in the hole, or a 4-2-1-3. Or keep playing the 4-3-3 and see how that goes. Either way, Allegri needs to find a system that works and quick, we can't have another bad start to the season if we want to have a look in at the Scudetto With Dinho closer to goal you have this problem of not having any creativity in midfield to get transition the ball. You have the Ancelotti midfield pretty much is what they are counting on for getting the ball to the strikers up top or you play the full backs down the flank and our fullbacks aren't Maicon, Alves, or Ashley Cole. If you follow what Berlusconi is saying you would have 3 forwards up top who not even receive the ball because there is not central creative force to pass it to them. If you look at Inter you have Sniejder in the middle or Maicon down the flank. With us we have no options. Ronaldinho and Pirlo are the only proven playmakers and the best teams will do everything they can to shut them down. I agree Berlusconi is in a completely different Universe to reason and common sense. |

QUOTE (Jack Sparrow @ Jul 27 2010, 11:13 PM) You did take a look at that defence we lined up? You actually believe that's our first team? (IMG: style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif) Really..with 4 days of training after like 3 months of vacation, you can hardly expect the team to be sharp..even the level 2/3 players. I agree its not most of the team but its a second division team we got beat 2-0 nothing to, there are no excuses. Chelsea, Barcelona, or other top teams unless flying out on a 20 hour plane trip to play in a friendly, would completely destroy a junk team like Varese. It shows that we cannot rely on our bench and that our second choice players will not hold against the best teams in the world. If Ronaldinho, Pirlo, or Pato get injured or out for some reason our entire team is finished for the season. We are talking about AC Milan here. The skill level between Varese and AC Milan should be 10 fold with Milan having the cream of the crop. The skill level itself should be enough to beat any second division team. But as we have learned from the last 2 years, the "oh we're Milan and look at what we did" attitude got us killed last season against mediocre teams and humiliated in the champions league. It one of the reasons I just get away from even posting its just so disappointing to see this organization go from the best to a joke losing to second division teams and blowing it off like oh its no big deal. But the Emirates Cup will be the bigger club, lets hope for the best. |

QUOTE (han2503 @ Jul 27 2010, 02:03 PM) Leo was no Capello Mourinho hybrid but he did imo as well as can be expected, with no experiance, the squad he was given and the injuries he had to deal with on top of that. Sure he wasn't flexible when it came to his main formation and system being disrupted, Huntelaar as winger -_- , but then again neither was Carlo.
Imo he did pretty good all the above considered. He managed to get the best we'll probably see out of Ronaldinho since 2006, he had a system in mind. I think some praise Leo a lot and some sweep what he did under the rug as if all the team managed last season was in spite of him, which imo is completely untrue, it was a team effort, the team got behind Leo and Leo persisted with what he thought was best and not let Silvio's incessant old age psycho babble sway him other ways.
I think had Leo stayed a couple of more seasons he would have matured into a great coach, he's smart enough and has the charisma for it.
So far I'm not all that happy with what's going on with Allegri the first press conference and Allegri barely spoke 2 words while Silvio went on and on about which formation and which players should play where. And the fact that Allegri seems satisfied with what he's being given. Hopefully I'm wrong about him and he'll give Silvio the proverbial f u and do what he think is best for the team, not let Silvio bully him into doing otherwise Agreed. Leonardo was the scapegoat. The basic problem with Leonardo is 90 percent of the team he was given was the decaying Ancelotti generation and he had no time to assert his own identity in the formation. I give him props for standing up to Berlusconi. The root of the problem is the upper management of the club and their arrogance. . Like Galliani stating that the fans were ungrateful. Its just unheard of. Its like what Mourinho says he doesnt focus on the past, all that matters is now and what we do now. Berlusconi is stuck in the past. Galliani comes out and criticizes the Milan fans, saying they are ungrateful. You sold Kaka, Schevchenko, and Gourcuff is a matter of 3 years without reinvesting those funds except for Pato and Silva and you expect us to be grateful to you to watch Milan become a team that loses to MLS teams and second division teams. |

QUOTE (han2503 @ Aug 13 2009, 04:38 AM) Because we need another mid as much as we need a new fullback. Look at our midfield. Its Pirlo, Rino, Flamini, Seedorf, Ambro, Abate, Dinho, Cardacio. It's littered with defensive mids. Pirlo is the only creative central mid we have plus Seedorf bvut are we really going to spend another season hoping that he would wake up and stop being a lazy @ss? Dinho is our only attacking mid and when you're solely relying on this Dinho you know you have problems.
Fullback is another big issue, but this shouldn't be an either or situation as both are desperately needed. We need a left back and another mid, if these 2 positions are not filled for next season we're going to be screwed Yes! And with the Ancelotti full backs over wingers system they rely on the #9 forward once Scheva(which we never replaced) and a solid attacking midfielder- kaka (no replacement) aside from that 5 years ago Pirlo seedorf and Gattuso was probably the best midfield in the business, now they've lost their pace and I believe motivation they are too complacent. I am Pirlo I have a spot no matter what happens= complacency. On top of this our distribution from our full backs is less than adequate. We have major holes in this in this line-up. But what can we do nothing. |

QUOTE (Bluesummers @ Aug 13 2009, 08:17 AM) what is wrong with this guy. He's got serious issues. He's pulling the mourinho technique trying to give His player some confidence and taking a shot at Alonso. At least he replaced Alonso with someone solid. Look at us we get rid of all of our offensive midfielders- kaka and gourcuff that still have something, getting a ridiculous sum of money and not replace them. We are the biggest joke of world football. Every season we wait it gets worse because we need more. Soon we will need 5 midfielders, 3 strikers and 3 defenders. The only way we will get this done is if we get bought out by some Arab nation. Every year we cover the wound with a bandaid and it takes time for players to settle. |

QUOTE (Maestro10 @ Aug 9 2009, 08:39 AM) Since when were Inter a reference point in football ? they have never won anything outside of Italy.
I'm not being bitter, just realizing the capability of our team and it is not looking good, nothing is clicking Aside from the rivalry with Inter. Inter is superior in every way to Ac Milan. Defense offense and midfield keeper and coach are all better than Milan. Inter are on their way to being competitive in Europe and morratti and mourinho will do what it takes to get the winning combination. I like Milan over Inter but it's just a fact. With Milan it's always backwards looking. We won consistently 10 years ago and we have a winning tradition. If you look at barca, Chelsea, Madrid, and man u it's about this season- now!! These are the tier 1 teams. Milan are now tier 2 or 3. Again this is not me getting emotional this is just fact from the performances of the team. I think it's a travesty that the Milan powers have made such horrible business decisions and now people think of Milan as an old team that used to be really good. |
