De Sanctis is good, but 28 years old. Can't Milan do like Real Madrid and pull out a good goalkeeper from the primavera or something (IMG:

Italy has many good keepers, but it is ALWAYS hard to get one first-rate keeper to play as second-choice. because the role of keeper is very special, second-choice usually means zero minute. look at Abbiati.
this actually answers your other question. we found Abbiati from or Monza and signed him as our third keeper in 98-99. when he was given the chance (Lehman sent back to Germany and Rossi banned for five matches), he did some good jobs for us that season and for a few years that followed. if not for his bad luck (injury and tension with some Milan senior), he could still be our No. 1 by now.
but for now, I will take Dida before him, definitely.
