So, I'm usually detesting those "get rid of..." lists, but now I'm interested. Do you guys think we need a complete overhaul? Who would you let go or sell coming next season?

QUOTE (Fillipo Simone @ Feb 11 2015, 12:59 PM) So, I'm usually detesting those "get rid of..." lists, but now I'm interested. Do you guys think we need a complete overhaul? Who would you let go or sell coming next season? I'd get rid of: INZAGHI Abbiati Mexes Zapata Zaccardo Albertazzi Armero Muntari Honda and Pazzini And I'd try to build the team around: A coach like Spalleti Diego Lopez Abate Alex De Sciglio De Jong (if he extends his contract with us) Bonaventura Van Ginkel (if by some miracle we sign him permanently) Mastour Destro Menez and/or El Shaarawy (I still think that with the proper coaching he can become world class player). And then there are players that I'd be pleased to have as backups, such as: Gabriel/Agazzi Rami/Zabaletta/Bochetti Antonelli Montolivo/Poli/Suso Cerci/Niang. But probably we're going to stick with the players that I would like to get rid of, sell/let go two or three players from those that we should be builinding our team around of to balance the finances and use the players from the third list as first team players. Which means that we're going to contuniue sucking bad until we find somehow players like Nesta, Maldini, Pirlo, Seedorf, Kaka and Sheva. But I don't see that happening, actually I don't think players like them exist anymore.

Let's see... We currently have 31 players in our roster. Next season this number shouldn't exceed 25. Given our current players and requirements, this is how I'd go about it: OUTMuntari Mexes Honda Albertazzi Essien Bocchetti Van Ginkel Bonera Armero Zaccardo That leaves us with 21 players. We desperately need one quality CB to couple with Alex and one playmaker CM. Depending on what formation we play, our priorities might change, but I'd like to see something like this: Lopez Abate - Alex - CB - MDS CM - NDJ Cerci - Suso - Menez Destro SUBSAbbiati Agazzi Zapata Paletta Rami Antonelli Poli Montolivo Bonaventura El Shaarawy Mastour Pazzini

Hmh, I must say, I disagree with many things. Let's see:
1) Abate and de Jong. It's still questionable is the two will sign for us or go away for free. Abate is especially important, since he's a Primavera player.
2) Players who are too good to sit on the bench/probably wouldn't agree with the bench position but are somehow inadequate or not good enough for our first XI.
3) Players who are either sub-par or simply too old/useless.
All in all this would mean parting was with:
Agazzi (we need a younger 3rd string keeper) Mexès Rami Zapata Zaccardo Essien Muntari van Ginkel (obviously) Armero
Also questionable would be Pazzini, SES, Monto, Bonera and Cerci. For different reasons.
I'd keep Bonera as a versatile backup option which would be cheap and better then all other alternations (just think of the various backups we had in recent years, all the Mesbahs and Constants).
Pazzini will be out of contract and will most probably leave. If he takes a wage-cut and accepts a backup role, I'd let him stay (I think he's finally coming back to a routine).
SES should really get another chance with a more seasoned coach. Experience could guide him through this rough period. But if he fails to gradually become what is expected out of him, I'd rather sell him sooner then later.
Montolivo is a big question for me. He's not getting any younger and I seriously doubt his contribution to our gameplan is that important. But, I'd still give him the benefit of a doubt and one more season. Then we should decide.
Cerci showed so far very little to nothing. He seems out of shape and not really into being at a club like Milan. I suppose he's the ideal Parma/Bologna/Torino type of player, kind of Beppe Signori or Enrico Chiesa.
Next question: has anyone a list of the top players who'll be out of contract this summer? I think this should be a start for us.

QUOTE (Rossoneri7 @ Feb 12 2015, 08:02 AM) Don't think we have any business referring to potential incoming players as top class. Top class players want CL football, want to win trophies and want heavy salary outlays. Surely, I meant top players out of the players who's contract is running out. Per se those players ain't top class. I meant players like Menez and Alex, nice additions. QUOTE For the second year running we are a midtable team. The club's history and name no-longer attracts top players. So nothing has to change or what? How do you think we got to this situation?

QUOTE (Danny @ Feb 12 2015, 06:03 PM) I was. Anyone Milan fan who thinks Pippo needs and should be given time is clearly trolling given apparently 8 months wasn't enough already. But I think R7 was referring to the next season. For the new coach, no? Anyhow, different opinions is what makes a forum interesting. We should respect and encourage such posting, because otherwise this forum will (already has to an extent) turn into a numb and grey place with dominant opinions.
