Very excited to see Di Gennaro, Palsochi, and Abate back to Milan next season (if what Galliani say is true, big IF)

Guys Gourcuff has really improved...I mean he's improved heavily...His confidence has increased a lot....He's broke into france first 11...His crosses are accurate, he can score, he dribbles..He's been really really good this season...Prob Ligue 1's best player this season...He deserves another season here at milan...When he was here b4 he was loaned to Bordeaux, he wasn't as confident as now...Now he reads the game really well...He played well against Chelsea and against so many other teams..He at least deserves to be called back..I wish he returns...How do we know how he'll do wen or if he comes back...We are judging him based on his performances b4 he was loaned out..(i hear pple say, his mentality isn't strong for milan...that was the past)..Now he's matured a lot...He deserves another chance...Plus some of our midfielders would be gone so there would be space...He can even play in Pirlo's position..He looks stronger than Pirlo...nowadays Pirlo is readable n slow...He's not strong n is slow...Gourcuff would provide more options...He can play in Pirlo's position or even seedorf...He can take freekicks also...Beckham should be gone by next year...Gourcuff plays like Iniesta and we could use that kind of player in our team...I just don't understand how we'll want to lose a player of this improved Calibre...If he doesn't do well wen he returns then we can judge him...Sheva didn't do good in Chelsea n its the same thing he did at Milan when he returned and that's why we judge him now...!!! For Gourcuff he's done really well over just one year and can get better in Milan!!! He can defend too!!! i hope we get him back..Milan should do everything they can to get him back!!

I've been thinking about this a lot. I think Yoann would be best for us in a 4-2-3-1 formation, playing on the right. Still not convinced about him defensively though, to put him in the 4-3-1-2.

Couple of things of note on milannews.it this morning.

* One piece hypothesizes the sale by Roma of Mexes to Milan, noting the possiblity of maybe including either Borriello or Abate as part of the deal (this story is repeated on Mediaset).
* Palermo's Simon Kjaer was interviewed by the leading Danish daily and said he dreamt of moving to a big club in Europe but hopes that it's one with good air connections to Denmark as his wife will be spending part of the year there (note -- there're nonstop flights between Milan and Copenhagen).
* Gourcuff's father said that any decisions about his future would be made after the season is over.
* Ancelotti supposedly really likes Dzeko
* Hertha Berlin supposedly are interested in Senderos
* Shevchenko may return to Dynamo Kiev, but there may be interest from Zenit St. Petersburg.

i know that Milan wants to give a chance to Borriello,They thought he deserves one more chance,Probably this is why Milan is going for Dzeko instead of Adebayor,they will thinking about signing an alternative to Borriello as they dont want to take any risks.

i think that Gourcuff's return depents on Ancelotti's departure,if he leaves,im sure Gourcuff will come to Milan,otherwise it seems very unlikely.

Paloschi,Di Gennaro and Abate,Paloschi needs to stay at Parma one more year,same goes for Di Gennaro as well.Abate can return and can be good alternative.

i think that Milan should sign both Maxwell and Daniel Agger,considering they are not much expensive.we really should go for Hernanes or Rakitic to solve our midfield problems or maybe both of them.

i'd happy with a mercato like this,Marchetti,Agger,one more CB,Maxwell,Hernanes,Keirrison,Abate,Dzeko and Gourcuff.

Welcome back palo!

Isn't that too many players?

[paloschi43]

Thanks mate.

i think not.

Abbiati/Marchetti
Antonini/Zambrotta/Mattioni
Thiago Silva/Nesta
Agger/New CB.
Maxwell/Antonini
Gattuso/Flamini
Pirlo/Hernanes
Gourcuff/Abate
Kaka/Keirrision
Borriello/Dzeko
Pato.

We'll have very competitive team 4 sure.

[Tennie]

I don't see Ambrosini in your list, paloschi43. Or Pippo or Ronaldinho. Are you assuming these players will not be at Milan next year?

[gal_kenny]

All i'm saying and believe is that Abate and Gourcuff must return to be given a chance.....Borriello or Abate wouldn't and shouldn't be sold to Roma...If that's the case, we can go for Agger and leave our two talents alone!!

[paloschi43]

Same goes for Marek,Seedorf,Ronaldinho,Ambrosini,Shevchenko,Bonera,Senderos,Dida,Kalac,Kaladze e.t.c

i forgot to add Mariga to my list.

if we cant make this revolution this summer,next year wont be different from this year,minor changes wont solve our problems.we will give up so early in scudetto race like the last 3-4 years.we will see more Arsenal and Werders as well.

[Darunia]

+1 Agger/Kjaer/Zapata/CB
+1 CF (Dzeko?)

+1 Abate, Paloschi/Di Gennaro
+1 Gourcuff (maybe)

I don't really see Milan making any more moves than that.

-1 Emerson
-1 Favalli
-1 Senderos

We might pick up a Maxwell type player, which would be useful. Need another rb/lb (take your pick). Course, if Albertazzi is actually allowed to play rather than occupy a spot on the bench, that'd take care of one of 'em -- he plays LB/CB.

[paloschi43]

Both Paloschi and Di Gennaro needs to mature more and they should play with regularity,They wont have this chance next season at Milan,so i think they will not come next year,maybe the year after.

we should at least add Hernanes and Maxwell to them,otherwise we'll have so much problems in LB and midfield.

if you sign one CB and Dzeko and add some youngsters,then you expect Milan to fight for scudetto until the end,we'll probably give up on scudetto early like the last 3 years.we have to solve every problem.

First GK problem,then left back then CB's,then midfield,then team defence,then continuity.unless we solve this problem,we just lie to ourselves for scudetto.

[Tennie]

So, people are mentioning Keirrison, Dzeko, and Hernanes a lot. Anyone know if any of them have EU passports? Far as I know we're already using one of next year's two non-eu spots for Thiago Silva.

What ever happened to Goran Pandev?
