Thanks very much for the link Kenny!

This was so predictable for me, it bothers me a little. Carletto is one of the top coaches of Europe, no doubt. But he simply does not have the skill set to develop a young player. And also Galliani is not the worst transfer guru around, but throwing Gourcuff away for 15 million Euros, when his actual value right now is on par with Benzema, is a very very poor move.

Also it hurts me in particular because I was a big fan of the kid and could not believe that Milan actually signed him when they did... And now having probably lost him in this way, at the age of 22, just seems like a cruel tease from our management.

I truly hope our management do WHATEVER it takes to bring the kid back and this time actually give him some support and let him replace Seedorf like Kaka did with Rui Costa.

It's sad... so disappointing! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sleep.gif) It's all Carlo's fault... had he been given half the chances Gilardino got he would be a vital member of the team now... he has to agree with Bordeaux to stay with them but I think he'll choose to stay there cause in Milan the XI are not chosen based on meritocracy...

As predicted Yohann is showing his real value now that he's playing!

Carlo, throw away Gilardino and gourcuff, the next one will probably be Pato!

Oh, and Bordeaux will buy him!

How long do you think Seedorf has left in him Jack? He's 32 now, by the time Yoann returns next season he'll hit 33. You can't expect him to be anything more then a rotation player by then.

@ Panama Devil, we play tons of games in one season, healthy competition in the squad will keep players performing to their best, unlike what's been happening these last 2 years when there was only, Pirlo, Rino, Ambro and Seedorf, while always having their place on the team assured. Players should be rotated, but unforunetly Carlo doesn't really understand that simple concept. He's stubborn and has been sticking to his same 4 midfielders since his first season with Milan. Unfortunately for him, those players have either become too lazy to even try or too tired to play in every single matcj because age is cathing up to them.

Seedorf doesn't want the bench? Would you rather have an enthusiastic young player like Yoann in the midfield that is ready to give his all, or a Seedorf who jogs around without giving a cr@p about what happens in the match? Ambro, is not good enough compared to the other defensive mids we hape, he doesn't have Rino's drive and passion, or Flamini's energy and smarts. The only think he has going for him is the fact that he can score the odd header here and there.

And our midfield looks crowded because we have way too many defensive mids then any team would ever need. We need another creative central mid. We only have Pirlo and Seedorf. And if one of them goes down we have to play with the 2 defensive mids and that just brings up a whole bunch of other issues. Plus if Seedorf for some reason gets injured before Pirlo returns we would be screwed, Carlo might start ****** off at the idea of playing multiple games with Ambro, Flamini, Rno, but we would be royally screwed if that happened

@gal_kenny, in theory that's a brilliant plan of how to handle you squad, but we all know Carlo doesn't like to play with anyone other then his usual first team line-up that's why we've been struggling ever since these players have hit a snag, becuase we're not continuing to build, and Carlo is still stuck in 04

Keep in mind that Gourcuff's exploits have been in the ultra defensive French league and vs footballing powerhouses in the national team (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

I am a big Ancelotti fan and I won't hide it. I also am yearning to see Yohan in red and black once more but to castigate Carlo so much for his departure may be a bit unfair. To be fair to Ancelotti yohan DID play a lot of crap here despite his obvious talent....but then again I suppose to be fair to Yohan, he couldn't have done any worse than Brocchi or Emerson. Here's to hoping he returns and it all works out (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cool.gif)

I'd really like to see true Ronaldo "R9" in the rossonero shirt ONE MORE TIME.

Guys calm down lol its not even January and we are talking about losing a player, im sure he will come back he didnt leave on bad terms it was just the issue of game time if we negotiate a good number of games he has to start in over a period of the season im sure he'll come back imo

this could well be Seedorfs last season
