QUOTE (Rossoneri7 @ Feb 3 2011, 01:19 PM) To challenge for the CL trophy you need a coach of that caliber as well ... I don't see Allegri winning it for Milan, of course that doesn't mean Milan should reinforce in the summer .. It's just that I find our chances to land an 8th CL trophy being very weak. I completely agree with you there. Allegri just doesn't convince me on the big scene. I think he still has that small-club mentality, which is clearly reflected in our game. But you never know, with the right set of players, even a rookie manager could overachieve. We've been lacking proper fullbacks since 2007, when Oddo and Jankulovski were at their top. We've also been lacking a quality trequartista since Kaka' left. Personally, I think these absences have highly influenced our game in recent years. Just look at Inter last season. Two of their main strengths resided in Maicon and Sneijder.

Yeah, the issue of Milan's fullbacks has been in circulation since Cafu and Serginho left, now we have made an acquisition in Didac Vila and I don't trust those youtube clips so until I see him for a whole 90 mins, I'll remain inline with the crowd who claims we have a fullback problem.
On the other hand, I would also like to point at the issue of our formation not being dependent on a triquartista anymore .. We play with a 4-3-3, where the front three are all pure strikers in essence, and as we have observed they work very well at creating chances for themselves .. Hence I am comfortable in the fact that we dont have a pure triquartista anymore. If we end up getting one, all the better, but it is not a pressing issue IMO as a fullback would be.

Our playing system is a huge issue IMO. We can't play a 4-3-3 because we simply lack the necessary assets. Robinho is the only winger we have. Pato is not a winger, neither is Cassano nor Boateng. Our playing system is 4-3-1-2, with Robinho behind the strikers. However, that is not a solution, because 1) Robinho tends to go wide and thus leave a hole in the center, which in turns affects Pato's positioning, who goes wide as well, instead of playing as a pure striker; 2) Robinho does not have the quality of making assists to the forwards like Rui Costa, Kaka' or Seedorf do.
Thus, our game, at the moment, is a big clusterfuck. This could be solved only by signing a quality trequartista that would allow us to play the 4-3-1-2 system effectively and efficiently.

(IMG: style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) For all intent and purposes, Seedorf only has one assist all season, the one he made to Ibra (probably) in one of the first few matches. The guy can be a sub for a little while longer, but we probably have the worst #10 in all the top clubs right now. Even last season the guy was comparatively better.

Hence more the reason to buy Ganso (or someone else that is top quality). (IMG: style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Can't wait for the summer transfer window, I sense at least two players coming, and a bunch from the current squad leaving.

Zee has 5 assists this season. Stats6th in the Serie A list. And at par with Krasic who a lot of people were drooling over in this forum. It's just the fact that we remember Zee at his imperious best and compare him to now. If Zee had performed like Pastore did for Palermo in the match before the last....he'd be getting his heart chewed out. But to get old in football it seems is to condemn yourself by default to being considered mediocrity.

QUOTE (X-Offender @ Feb 3 2011, 05:51 PM) Laziness? He's always had it. It's more the fact that he'll be 35 in two months. That is too much for a trequartista. Even Zidane hung his boots at 33. Seedorf's contract expires in June. I swear, if Galliani decides to renew it, he'll be making the biggest mistake of his life!!! (Alright, the last bit was an exaggeration, but you get the point. (IMG: style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif) ) What, that you started to exaggerate things and now you can't let go of it? (IMG: style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif) Anway, 'always' is a very very subjective term. I remember a very busy and hard working Seedorf at Real, even Inter. I'd renew with him, clearly he adds up more to the team then showed on pitch. Same goes for a bunch of players, while some should leave. But it's up to the board and themselves to deal with it.

Sure he's made 5 assists... probably did not do anything else in those matches. You can't afford that as a team in my view. I don't blame him... had I won what he was won I'd probably not even warm up... playing against Bari... he's played more CL finals than he's played Bari... he can't start matches, not Series A matches anyway.
