ok well seams me and Han are part of the few that have accepted Milan's new status in the world of football, we will not be able to throw money at our problems, sooner or later we will have to develop. This is the biggest cliche in the sport but if you don't take chances on players, you force yourself to spent alot for average quality. Think of Athletico Bilbao, they are always competitive with a squad that has a very important weapon...Faith placed into them by Upper management.

We must take chances on our youth players, but Di Gennaro is simply awful. We should have Paloschi, not Inzaghi, as our backup and give him a chance. We have youth players we should give a chance, but we seem to rather sign a worthless Onweyu who makes defensive errors all the time without having the prospect turning into something good, while Albertazzi probably will get loaned out. Or we will play Oddo as central back rather than giving Romagnoli or Albertazzi a chance.

real talk,

i dont get why we want huntelaar out after just one season.. pippo is the one filling a spot... maybe we should offer him to the arabs...

pato-hunt-boriello-j.cole

not satisfied but not that bad...
pippo sorry man, ur deff a legend but a team like milan needs transition

for my trequartista spot.. is deff
VDV... if inter snatched Sneijder for 15mil
im sure we could get him around that too.. with him and j.cole... we might be set to battle some trophies. i deff want more but that its a more low budget reality

I do agree with you, but Di Gennaro is definately not one of those possibilities. H's below average. I saw him in the Coppa games he played last season and it was just awful. He couldn't even control simple balls, his passing accuracy was non existant just terrible.

Yes we do need to start developing our own talent since the management is unwilling to spend money on transfers but the Primavera needs an overhaul imo, we're not going to build a great team out of the likes of Di Gennaro and the likes that have come out of our Youth system recently, look at Barca every season a top class youngster from their own system is introduced into the first team and he usually succeeds. Our most promising players recently have been Paloschi, Darmian and Albertazzi and what do we do? We loan one of them, co-own the other and the other is about to go through a similar faith. Galliani talks and talks about developing our own players yet no one ever gives the Primavera players a chance to atleast show what they can do.

They are happier playing the likes of Oddo, Janku, Kala in the Coppa then giving these guys a chance


VdV is too much of a lightweight imo to be our starting AM. He's very injury prone. Would I take him if he was available? Yes!!

Why is he too much of a lightweight to be a starting AM? Since when does that matter* for an AM? Very njury prone? That's not true. Sure he had injuries, but he isn't that injury prone as you say now. Van der Vaart is a very good AM, I'd be thrilled with him.

Last season he barely played to get any injuries in the first place. He only started playing by the end of the season when Kaka was injured/off form most of the time.

I'm not saying he isn't good enough to start far from it. I just don't think he would be reliable enough, at least not enough to base a system around him being the only sole AM. Like a 4-3-1-2 type of set-up for example

I know, but I also know that this is not casual for him. He is no Robben, Borriello, Aquilani, Nesta, ...far from it...

It's just one unlucky season... who doesn't have that?

If we are going to play with an AM behind two strikers, what do we need Joe Cole for? He's a winger. And besides, I've never been impressed by his performances at Chelsea. He just seems a less than average kind of player to me. I'd rather keep Mancini instead.

We really are starting to look pathetic with all these loans and zero-cost signings. I mean, even clubs like Palermo and Genoa seem to spend a fair amount of money every summer, whilst we just go after the market drop-outs. So low, so low... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

I agree with your post, but:
NO WAY!!!!


(though Joe Cole can play behind strikers also, but I am not bummed about the idea having him)

It looks like Fenerbahce's offer for Huntelaar has raised to 24.5 million. Seriously, for that price, we should sell him and sign Dzeko.
