Cafu Set To Renew Milan ContractMilan veteran Cafu is set to be offered a new one-year contract at the club, with Dario Simic sacrificed in order to make this happen.Brazilian legend Cafu has been at Milan since signing from Roma in 2003, however this was widely expected to be his final season at the club. Despite the fact that the wing-back is set to turn 38 in June, reports in Italy suggest that Milan are set to offer him a one-year extension to his expiring contract. The sacrificial lamb in order to keep Cafu will be Croatian defender Dario Simic. The 33-year-old has featured sparingly this season, and is eager to leave the club anyway in order to obtain first-team football. Milan’s hugely disappointing season had led many to believe that they would revolutionise their ageing squad in the summer. With Cafu set to stay on, and Andriy Shevchenko looking likely to re-join the club, it appears as though this may not happen. Cafu is the most capped Brazilian of all time, having appeared 156 times in the Selecao shirt. Roberto Rossi - goal.com

That's good. Milan should keep everyone who want's to stay. And Cafu, well he's like the ambassador of Brazil in Milan. With him in our squad, nothing can go wrong with the other brazilians.
This is more of a political move then a reinforcement or support to our squad for next season.

That is true. The RB and LB positions are very vital for our team. It's not like you can have the next big thing, and have him play to improve.
As for Cafu, he's an excellent third choice. If he has only one match a month, he really plays well.
So next season, our fullbacks would be: Zambrotta, Cafu, Oddo, Janku. 2 players for every position. Janku scares me a bit with his injury woes. It's been one of the nails in our coffin this season. So I won't say no if we brought back Grimi or got in Vargas.

QUOTE (Bluesummers @ Mar 19 2008, 10:31 PM) Lol you gotta lose this attitude that our board is like a program. Insert A and you get B. Its not like that. Cafu hasn't played a game in 5 months and he is just here to pass on experience like sergio etc.. Were signing zambrotta in the summer and we have grimi on loan who is improving everyday. We can't just sign someone for our Rb and say grow and become good. Our tactical system depends on the RB and LB attacking and delivering crosses. So 95% they'll play every game and rarely get subbed. Oddo is an example (IMG: http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) so there is no point to really signing someone who is young, if there not gonna play. They'll turn out like gourcuff (IMG: http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) what you just said there doesnt make sense but i know what ur trying to say. i find it funny that you think i see this as fifa 08 or something when in one of ur last posts ur making mention of ur signings in the game, and i've seen plenty of posts listing all the players we need and who needs to go out so i dont see how you can accuse me of this. btw ur statement that he hasnt played in 5 months is completly false. 95% of the players for most teams are not produced by the club but our signings, so yess you do sign players and let them become "good". the tactical system of team has little or no bearing on how much everyone plays, the fact that oddo plays so much is cuz we dont have anyone decent to come in for him. if you dont understand by now that for the past 3 years we've been holding on o the same guys to avoid going out and getting others then just give up. if cafu is here to be a mentor for the brazilians it would have to be for a young ones and pato is the only young brazlian we have, kaka isnt young anymore and cafu is not a striker coach nor is he an expert in the field. to let his contract run out and not renew would be forcing him out of the club.
