QUOTE (Tennie @ Aug 3 2010, 06:55 PM) It's hardly that dire. Ronaldinho alone won't get us there but remove 5 players (Dinho, Pirlo, Nesta, Pato and Thiago) from out first team and we're there so fast your head will spin

I'd say if Dinho/pirlo and nesta weren't there, we'd be in relegation zone forsure. Silva and Pato are necessary but they can be replaced. Every time one of those main three got injured, we could barely win games.

Last season we lost Nesta and Pato and we suffered big time but we still managed somehow. And we'd managed say we lose Pirlo and Thiago but we definately won't be in the top 4. Imagine losing all 5 I mentioned (IMG: style_emoticons/default/ohmy.gif)

I haven't seen anything explicit in the Italian media regarding Pirlo being injured. I'm guessing that he's just not match fit after the break and there's no pressing need to rush him back for a one-off friendly in suburban Detroit.

I mean, there're two types of players in team. One is leaders or key players and second one is helpers. I want to say that all of players cant be equally important to a team. What would Barca be without Xavi, Nesta, Messi, Puyol, Pique ? Or MU without Wayne, Nani, Carrick, Rio, Vidic ?

That is true, but the "supporting cast" if you want to call it that, at those teams is very strong and they both have great benches that can handle 1 or 2 important players to be injured. While we don't Imo we have a very good first 11, but looking further then that, we have nothing, which is why we struggle in the league while Inter sail through it. Because they have an amazing squad, not just 11 great players with the rest being more or less average, like we do

So in other words, depth is a serious issue with Milan.
