QUOTE (Jack Sparrow @ Apr 9 2008, 05:02 AM) But it's the injury that worries me. All of a sudden R20 is an injury prone player as well. So it might come back to bite us in the butt...esp with our luck when it comes to Spanish players. I agree with dst here. Ronnie is obviously not injured. At least not physically....

QUOTE (dst @ Apr 9 2008, 04:00 PM) So you believe he's really injured? I find it easier to believe than that he's paid enormous wages, to sit on the bench with Messi injured as well. And when he did come onto the field he was starting to play well.

Barcelona have made many more millions than they've paid for the brand name that's called R20...

Albertini sees Dinho at MilanFormer Barcelona and Milan star Demetrio Albertini is confident Ronaldinho’s San Siro switch is very likely. “He really could join Milan, because I see a pretty complicated situation for him at Barcelona,†the midfielder told Sky Italia. The former World and European Player of the Year has been struggling with personality clashes at the Nou Camp and is expected to leave this summer. Clubs who have shown an interest are Milan, Juventus, Inter, Chelsea and Manchester City. “He would be really happy at Milan, because there are so many Brazilians. He would also enjoy playing for a team like this. He is one of the greatest talents I have ever played alongside. “It takes a lot of effort to remain at the top of your sport and, as far as Ronaldinho is concerned, I think he needs a great deal of affection.†Albertini was his teammate at Barca and insists the stories of his difficult personality and fractious rapport with tacticians are untrue. “He is humble and knows how to accept advice. He is a great person in the locker room and gets on with all his teammates. “At my testimonial game at San Siro he was so happy to see all those fans and champions. His affection for Milan is mutual. I think in the eyes of any player Milan are a great club.†Albertini also revealed a curious anecdote to the everyday life of one of the world’s highest paid players. “He can’t drive. Ronaldinho is always accompanied to the stadium by family and friends.†(IMG: http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Channel4

alrite well ive been kinda quiet on these ronaldinho rumors. At first I really wasn't excited about the transfer. Primarily cuz i fear our management sees a Ronnie as a cure all transfer. I still think its absolutely necessary that we sign a straight out and out striker - any one of Huntelaar, Berba, Benzy, Mario, Sheva (i throw him in cuz it's looking likely). Gila can't cut it. Replace Gila with Shevy, sounds fine to me. Even if we bring back Boriello it's a gamble that could work out, or it couldn't. Counting on Pato to shoulder the load we wanted Ronaldo and Sheva to carry would be far too much pressure. Our striking core should Sheva/Gomez/Hunter/Berba/Benzy, Boriello, Pato, Pippo, Paloschi. Pippo at fourth choice is perfect for his cameo displays like against cagliari. Palo can play Coppa and in matches we've got in the bag.
However, Ronaldinho in our squad gives us a lot more flexibility. If you dislike him only because you think he's ugly and looks bad in bandanas, or you don't like his smile, then that's a subjective, personal, bias view. Anyone who watches Dinho on form knows there is no way he can hurt our team. He can play Seedorf's, Pirlo's, Kaka's, AND Ronaldo's role for us, and play it extremely well.
- The CLINCHER for me, and I think i agree with albertini's stance, is that we have so many Brazillians already here! Dinho admires Milan, it's a rebirth for him. All our Brazilians would really help him out. Cafu, Leonardo, Kaka, Emerson..if needs guidance, he has all the people he respects to confide in.
There are TWO things that will happen if Dinho comes to Milan, he will be a great success, or he wont. If he isnt he wont be here long. If he is then we will be holding more trophy's soon. He sure hasn't played all that well the last year and a half. The important thing is to sign another striker, so we don't immediately heap a BUNCH of pressure on Dinho to change us from mediocre to Best in the world. if we do, I don't see Ronaldinho failing. A few years ago hearing Ronaldinho and Kaka together would have scared anyone and everyone. After they train together for a little bit, with Dinho confident and comfortable in the relaxed AC Milan atmosphere, I think this could be a simple, perfect fix for our offensive (pun intended) issues this last year in attack.

QUOTE (Darunia @ Apr 10 2008, 08:06 AM) If we do sign him, and I don't think we will.. what do you think we will do with Seedorf? Sacrifice him? He would do well in a reserve role, he can fill in at multiple positions (including Pirlo's role), but I don't know if his ego could take it. I mean if he can't stand getting subbed out.. how will he handle being a reserve? Seedorf is usually our worst player on the pitch. Nay, he's the player that tries less than anyone else on the pitch. His attitude should not be tolerated and he should have already been benched but Carlo likes him too much to do that... we desperately need a 10 to play in Seedorf's place in my view and if the Dutch doesn't like being benched then he can go for all I care. I really like the guy but if Rui was benched (and he was better at that time than See is now) then I can't see why See cannot!
