QUOTE 29/12/2007 16:03 Milan To Let Eight Players Leave In June AC Milan will begin a squad revolution by allowing eight players to leave at the end of the season, according to the Gazzetta dello Sport. The first is the legendary Paolo Maldini, who will retire 23-and-a-half years after making his club debut way back in January of 1985. Ronaldo will also move on as his contract runs out in the summer, and the Milan hierarchy are refusing to offer him a renewal due to the constant injury problems that have seen him play just once this season. Rossoneri fans would be happy to see accident-prone goalkeeper Nelson Dida leave the club immediately, however the lack of a valid alternative will see him stay until June, when he will then be replaced, probably by Fiorentina’s Sebastien Frey. A number of defensive veterans are also set to leave the club. The 37-year-old Cafu signed a one-year contract extension in the summer, however this will almost certainly be his final renewal. Cafu’s Brazilian compatriot Serginho will turn 37 in June, and despite still demonstrating some blistering pace, he will leave after nine years at the club. Fellow left back Giuseppe Favalli has a contract at San Siro until 2009, however he is now surplus to requirements and will probably see the final year of his deal paid up in full. Croatian stopper Dario Simic, who is set for a loan move to Lazio in a few days, will be sold to a club that can offer him first team football. Finally young French midfielder Yoann Gourcuff, a player likened by some to a young Zinedine Zidane, has been told by Coach Carlo Ancelotti that he has no future with the Rossoneri.

I'm only being sad that Gourcuff goes. or at least it's reported by goal which I'm always a bit suspicious of. |

Don't worry han, this feels more like what someone would wish for. Maybe this guy is a frustrated fan...
@Fillip: I don't believe Carlo would ever say that to any of his players. This post has been edited by dst: Dec 29 2007, 05:22 PM |

Emerson is a good factor, he'll stay,...and I'm fine with that. He still has potential, he has to recover and get back in form. I'd rather swap Kaladze with Simic, but that ain't gonna happen, sadly.

Well isn't this fantastic. Our huge squad just gets bigger. (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)
I don't see why Gourcuff is going to be let go, then again, having him in the squad is probably making key players like Brocchi feel a bit uncertain of their role. We better make some great signings in the summer, and lots of them, or we're going to be in for a rough few years. |

Why not bring back Grimi, Marzoratti, and a few other signings |

Non of this should be a surprise to anyone, this was expected. players like Paolo, Cafu and Sergio were going to retire regardless, so these changes where going to be forced on the management regardless. So now instead of just 2 signings they will have to make atleast 4, because they didn't start the rebuilding process gradually
But Yoann should definately not be sold, imo that would be a big mistake. |

Yes, as I said, we've expecting this for quite a while. I won't be surprised if we don't see it happen once again. Cafu won't retire. Favalli and Gourcuff will be with us next year and I wouldn't be shocked if Dida and Serginho stayed with us too! |
