Nah, Bojinov is another one of these talented young strikers that have a huge lack of experience. He barely played this season with Luca Toni in front of him.
What about Toni, by the way? Wouldn't he be an awesome striker? I'm not quite sure if he's willing to leave Fiorentina???
And to Van der Vaart. He's extremly talented AND experienced. But the Hamburger SV wouldn't let him go after this season. They wan't to win the Bundesliga next season, and to achieve this, they need Van der Vaart...

[adooooo]

Yes. I would like an ofensive RB... but... Cafu? Cmon... with all the respect, he's old.

Yeah he is, but on the right flank, he is a much better option than Gallas. Well, a better option defensively.
Thats why I had Oddo in my "ideal team". Another great RB is Casetti from Lecce but he is on his way to Roma so that is to forget.
Why not another brazilian? take out some money and steal Daniel Alves(Sevilla) from Barcelona. They have been interested in him for some while and e sure is a great player. If not, then Nelson. Those matches I have seen with him he has been quite good.

Than I say it again, travel to South America, sooooo many talents, I swear we could find one really great player just if our scouts tried a bit. Look at Kaká, no mistake in getting him.

Of those players that I can think of that we bought young these past seasons, most of them have been great. Look at this!

All of these players we bought when they where under 23 and look at them now.

*Kaká, do I need to explain it?
*Pirlo, he was pretty young when we got him, and look how he has developed.
*Gilardino, has made a good season and I am sure he will make an even better next year.
*Shevcheno, what to say? He was 22 when we bought him and look at him now.
*Gattuso, came as a 21(?)-year old. Our litte teddybear at the midfield is great great and every team should have a player like him in their line-up.

the players you mention above are world-class...
Not all South-Americans are that good.The main problem with them Brazilians and Co. is the discipline factor!!90% of them know the secrets of ball handling like it's a part of their own bodies but then 90% them are incapable to apply their technique in the tactical
aspect of the game (that's kind of confusing cause the latter is easier but it's probably bacause they play for themselves).The combination is really hard to find but then again thats what makes footballers like Kaka so special...
again.....doesn't anyone consider the Messi option???
he obviously lacks experience but I haven't seen this anywhere on the pitch and that's what really matters..On the other hand Henry, an experienced player was nowhere to be found in any (ANY!!!) crucial CL match in the previous seasons...he had to reach 29 to do that...and that matters!!!

New players:

Dani Alves: The best player to replace Cafu now that Cicinho is gone.
Henry: A must signing if Sheva leaves
Snejider: Will force Seedorf to play at his best, if he doesn´t Snejider will take his place.
Gallas: Sign him as a CB not a right winger.

Some signings i will leave unsaid, until after the world cup.

Nice team..but I don't rate Cicinho so high...he's not good defensively..pretty mediocre I'd say!!!

Hmm...I don't think Maldini can still play the left wing. I'm afraid he became to slow...
And I don't see Abbiati strong enough to be our keeper.Dida is better though it definetely wasn't his best season.
As I said I'd also like Luca Toni as new striker. But does anyone know if he's really willing to transfer?

Maybe with a new tuffer coach they could learn. No I know I mentioned southamericans, it doesn´t really matter the only demand that I have is that the player is young. It doesn´t have to be a player young like Freddy Adu, 24 and under is just enough. There are plenty of players that could and should be in the Milan squad.
Here are just a few;
Torres, Sneijder, Maxwell, Pablo, Gonzalo, Lucho Gonzales(well he is 25, but what a player), Ribery, David Villa, van der Vaart, Nelson
Here are a few, now, I don´t want all of these in Milan but these are great players despite their young age. And when Rui Costa leaves, kaka has to get a stand-in. Why not a younger player and not a player that is 30+.

[mKei]

hasn´t Maxwell signed with Inter.

Torres/Henry - only if sheva leaves.

Joaquin - would be great on the right side

Diarra - sometimes pirlo dissappoints me.....hopefully he gets back in form or else i would like diarra in his position

Hmm...I don't think Maldini can still play the left wing. I'm afraid he became to slow...
And I don't see Abbiati strong enough to be our keeper.Dida is better though it definetely wasn't his best season.
As I said I'd also like Luca Toni as new striker. But does anyone know if he's really willing to transfer?

Lets consider every field step by step:

Coach: Ancelotti is still the best option I suppose. After the coming season we will see, maybe then we will be able to sign Rijkaard. But for now, Carlo is a satisfactorily solution.

Keepers: Dida should stay the Nr. 1, even if Abbiati returns. Also, Kalac, and eventually Fiori can be second keepers or jump in for unexpected situations. Eventuall transfer option: Doni (Roma)

Defenders: The CB positions are, for the starting line-up clear - Nesta and Kaladze played last season very good, and derserve our full confidence. Maldini and Costacurta should also be considered for this positions (CB). Maldini still can play 20-25 matches on a high level, but not as left wing. Kaladze is too defensive, if Ancelotti decides to continue with his offensive approach. So the left wing position is the first problem. I am convinced Serginho can play another great season, but his age can cause injury or fitness problems. Jankulovski is a real option. The right side seems to be secured by the contract extension of Cafu and Simic. Marzoratti could also make a few appearances. I must say, Jaap Stams departure is a big loss. Still, the defense line necessarily needs refreshments. Suggested options: Gallas(Chelsea), Heitinga(Ajax), Barzagli(Palermo) [/B], Oddo(Lazio), Pasqual (Fiorentina), Chivu (Roma) or even Lahm(Bayern) if he makes some good WC matches.

Midfielders: If Rui Costa leaves, Kaka will need a alternative. Maybe Bouldek, but this is not a sure option. Perhaps our scouts discover a young unknown talent, or we could make a more concrete move by signing Fiore(Fiorentina) or by bringing back Cassano (Real Madrid) to Italy. There are some rumours that Milan will sign Poulsen(Schalke 04) as a DM, but I dont see how he is needed. Ambrosini, Vogel and Pirlo cover this position. Seedorf is also reliant for the left side. But the right side needs reinforcements - Gattuso is a great defensive worker. However, when it comes to specific attacking dutys, he is limited. So I suggest as a possible new player the Croatian right winger Srna(Sakhtar D.). Other possibilities in the midfield: Sneijder (Ajax), van der Vaart (HSV), Diarra (Lyon), Borowski (Werder)...

Attackers: No problems if Shevchenko stays! Then it will be enough to add Crespo (Chelsea) or Vucinic (Lecce). Inzaghi proved his class once more, I guess Amoroso is a option also, only Gilardino was not that convinceing last season, when it came to important big matches. I hope it is only a question of experience. But if Sheva leaves for Chelski, except of broken hearts we would have more offensive difficulties to pass. In that case Torres (Atletico), Henry (Arsenal) or Toni (Fiorentina) must be our priorities.

So, this is just my brief observation...maybe something unexpected happens at the Mercato, or some WC player stars, so...lets hope we put a great team together for the next season and finally win some trophies (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/devilsmiley.gif) (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/devilsmiley.gif)

Lahm(Bayern) if he makes some good WC matches.

He got injured but he'll probably play...

[GULLIVER]

Let's say we find out which one to bring to Milan after WC Barzagli or Oddo! Gallas is a very good option also, I think!
Fillipo Simone if you want men for big matches, then Milan should start considering Gerard and Henry.
Inzaghi?? This year was "swan's last song" . I hope I'm mistaking but "we need to scream for Messi" (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

guys I think we should wait...If Juve is relegated we might even get Buffon and Cannavaro...if Fiorentina is relegated too, we'll get Luca Toni..but we might be relegated
also so we'll get a big fat --(IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/ohmy.gif) -- !!!!!!!
