He is an excellent dmf in my view but what the **** do we need one more of this kind?? Are we trying to break a record for less goals conceded in a single season? We are not good at it I may say...

WE NEED CREATIVE PLAYERS!!!!

Are we trying to break a record for less goals conceded in a single season?

Btw. the record is still held by the Milan-Capello team, right?

WE NEED DIEGO!!!

[whoarethepatriot...]

WE NEED DIEGO!!!

Diego wouldnt accept being a substitute for Kaka, he would want a first team slot

I do like him though

[Bluesummers]

buying deco in the summer will be a good move if he leaves barca.

I TOTALLY agree with "dst".

We need creative players.

A team without a good and deep midfield has no chance of surviving long tournaments.

Knowing this let's take a look a our team's midfield. The official site lists 8 midfielders (Kaka is listed as a forward). Are Emerson, Gattuso, Brocchi, Ba and Ambrosini creative players? That leaves us only with Pirlo, Seedorf and an inexperienced Gourcouff.

Not only that 5 out of our 8 midfielders are not creative but cannot even take a good long range shot at the goal. This leaves us with no options at all since we can only rely on Seedorf in an attacking role and Pirlo passing the ball from behind. Gourcouff still needs more playing time. Our hopes for a goal are really on the shoulders of only 2 of our 8 midfielders. If a goal comes from any of the other 6 players is a bit of a surprise with the exception of some of Ambrosini's goals that we all now arrive because he is a warrior who always tries.

We need to get a couple of midfielders that can control the ball, play on the flanks, shoot, give good crosses and passes. We need a player with characteristics similar to Savicevic. Neves is a really good young option.

Gourcouff has interesting characteristics but need more playing time to boost his confidence. He is really good, one can tell but he needs playing time. Either we put him to play or we can give him on loan but he's worth the try.

Pirlo and Seedorf aren't getting any younger.

On the forwards department I still don't know why Kaka is listed as a forward but if he is then we should better start looking for midfielders instead of forwards.

Unlike Gourcouff, Gilardino has had enough time to get things going but he hasn't. He has had the opportunities ... not only to play but actual goal opportunities and NOTHING! He is never going to get better ... at least not in AC Milan .... his future is somewhere else.

Paloschi is good ... a warrior too I like him on the pitch ... he has a strong will and desire.

We need a forward with presence in the area ... with good heading skills ... we haven't scored a lot of headers lately from the corner kicks we win. We need somebody like Huntelaar.

We can have Pato (skill) and Huntelaar (presence and effectiveness) in the front with Kaka and Seedorf/Neves (both good passers and long range shooters) supporting. Pirlo can perfectly stay where he plays. As his partner we should start using Gourcouff here ... take advantage of his size, speed and ball control as a good pivot for counter-attacks. He should be taught the art of playing like a Rikaard or a Viera.
I'm sorry for Gattuso (I love this guy), defensively he's fantastic but he's like a -1 player in our attack.

Gattuso, Emerson and Ambrosini should stay in the team as a security to lock up games but Ba and Brocchi should leave to open the space for 2 more attacking and creative midfielders like Neves and somebody else.

Up to this point we only have 2 new acquisitions in our squad: Huntelaar and Neves.

On the defensive side we MUST get a couple of YOUNG wingbacks ... fresh legs to run up and down.

We do not need to change our entire squad but add a few players and reshuffle a position in the midfield to change our orientation and style. With this changes and constant crosses from wingbacks .... AC Milan is unstoppable.
