I suppose asking for a top class centre back would be too obvious? (IMG: style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

QUOTE (Jack Sparrow @ Sep 1 2008, 10:07 AM) I suppose asking for a top class centre back would be too obvious? (IMG: style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif) Yep, it would but then again...repetition isn't bad. I think we should play Darmain more often to see how he works. Kaladze is just a lost case. I'd even give Senderos the advantage since he's younger and well,..I'm not used to his mistakes and bad marking. But the real sad thing is that Maldini, at 40 by now, still does not have a young CB besides him who could learn from the master. Why not play Darmain now, beside Maldini/Nesta? What's the alternative? Loan him out and then let go lik Marzorati? Or wait till both Paolo and Sandro retire? And then what? Buy out a new CB? Anyway, problem is, Galliani seems to be happy with Senderos and he usually is a bit of a slow thinker so the moment he realizes we maybe made a mistake and need another decent CB will be...next summer. Till then, I think our top priority is a new RB or LB. I don't trust Jankulovski any more, he's to injury prone and his form is constantly unpredictable. After the departure of Oddo we need that extra fullback.

Antonini is good. I think Oddo being left off was a good thing. He's not young, and it's too early for him to be second choice. In any case, we don't even have CL this season, so that kind of quality subs are not an immediate requirement.
You're right, maybe Darmian should be thought of to replace Kaladze. Maybe the war in his country is upsetting him a lot, but then whatever his reasons, we can't let that sabotage our campaign. Let him play a couple of games, and if he repeats the same mistakes, send Bonera/Senderos/Darmian in.
Kaladze can slot in as LB if need be.

Filipo, the window will open and close and the situation will remain the same. Not because I wouldn't want someone in particular, but because there has already been a HUGE change within the squad, with a lot of top top players .. I mean if you thought Madrid had a Galactico period, what is this !! I doubt a top CB will come, I doubt a top GK will come and @kurt, Carlo is a top coach, whether you agree or disagree the man has trophies to prove it. Maybe now you wont budge from your assumptions, but with time when he is gone and all of Europe's best are after him, and when Milan fail and start jumping from one coach to another, then you will remember (IMG: style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) ... I'v been through the post Capello era, so I know how much time took for us to lift the CL again ... And until you go through the same experience, then and only then will you not take this coach for granted.

(IMG: style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Galactico was something else, entirely. The best players of their time. At their peak. And while I'm the first to say this was our best transfer season in years, the team of say 2003-2005, give or take, was miles ahead of this. Maldini, Nesta, Rui Costa, Dida, Stam, Cafu, Kaka, Sheva, Gattuso, oh my! (IMG: style_emoticons/default/ohmy.gif) The best of the best. And it cost us over 150m Euros. This one while a very dangerous squad, cost us less than third of that. That was our last Golden Generation right then and there.

And until you go through the same experience, then and only then will you not take this coach for granted. We do have the stars now, let's just hope they win more than Madrids did! He does have the trophies, I won't and can't deny that, but I do put it alot down to the stars he had. I'd argue he didn't win enough considering the players he's had. I support a team outside of the media limelight, a team that isn't considering World class, or even great. I know what it's like to appreciate things, I don't need to have gone through the post-Capello era of Milan to know how to appreciate a coach. Villa were literally 5 minutes from relegation no less than 5 years ago so I know very well what it's like to have one bad season after another. I also have confidence in alot of the players that we have to be able to finish in the top 4. I personally think Carlo is holding the team back. We have great potential in attack, but he won't utilise it.
