You can't argue with pass completion rate.

I also can't argue with what I saw on the pitch for him for us in his last few years here.

I can because it's nothing but an indication in my opinion. You can't judge a player on stats, they don't even get close to telling you how good a player is. You certainly can't tell if he is a genius or not. And then how do you compare them? Is Pirlo 8% better than Montolivo cause his completion rate is 8% higher? Stats help and that's it for me, nothing more.

No he was not very good, I agree with that.

Well, you can argue with what you see. And when I look at Pirlo I see the maestro, I see the brilliance. I don't need anyone to tell me that, no stats, no reporters, no commentators, no fans.

Lack of ability/poor performance I can tolerate, players don't choose to be bad. But this guys attitude is terrible. Captain of Milan. What a joke.

Excellent, both Kaka and Abbiati should be prime candidates for the arm band.

Yes, it should be Abbiati, Bonera and Kaka. Montolivo should really offer the armband to them.

Bonera??

I'd prefer Abate and DS to be on that list rather than Bonera

No. I prefer rules to be implemented again. Bonera is a Milan veteran, he should be vice-captain.

Bonera for me over Kaka' and Abbiati , from the last match towards the end you could see he was urging the team on. Balotelli was way up the field half injured and not even walking back to the last defensive play of the match someone in defence cleared the ball and all you could see is Bonera screaming at Balo to get back and help out , reminded me of Nesta a little (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) the expression he had that is..

Dusting off this thread with the perhaps unsurprising news that Montolivo is injured again. minor injury, he's expected to miss the next couple of games.
