I personally found the Gattuso comment to be the funniest in Beckham's interview. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
As for Ancelotti and English lessons, people are sort of ignoring the fact that his daughter is working in London. It COULD be that he's learning so he could visit and play tourist. |

Haha the Gattuso and Inzaghi comments were very funny.
I don't see what the fuss about Ancelotti is all about. Does he have to be going to Chelsea to be learning the only international language in the world? Adebayor is an average player. He's very good against mid and lower table teams but he's crap against the more serious teams. And yes we do have problems breaking up lower quality teams and Adebayor could maybe help us with that (I don't think he could. No one can tell anyway cause lower table teams in England and Italy have very little in common) but we're not going to spend 30m on a player that's only good enough at that level, are we? |

I hope that we buy him for more than 30M and that he will prove to everyone that he is the best pick possible like Beckham was a good move and everyone was against him.... |

I remember after Milan were knocked out in London, Paolo gave a five star rating to Adebayor. I'm not a fan really, but nonetheless he is a very technically gifted player. He would do great in Milan. |

As it currently stands (to date), in my eyes, Adebayor is nothing more than 'OVER-RATED.'
[FULLSTOP] ...my honest opinion. |

His technique is good but nothing more than that. His greatest quality in my view is his tactical awareness, he is "very" at that aspect I'll give him that. That's the reason why he's so much liked at Milan I believe. QUOTE (TriniKing_CE @ Apr 24 2009, 03:56 PM) As it currently stands (to date), in my eyes, Adebayor is nothing more than 'OVER-RATED.' [FULLSTOP] ...my honest opinion. THANK YOU! All my friends that support Arsenal are making fun of me for this deal. They all believe 30m for Adebayor would be the biggest rip-off they've ever seen by a clear mile. |

Well, I don't watch Arsenal all that much, but from what I saw in the game in London against them, he was impressive in controlling the ball, first touch was brilliant and his dribbling was very good. I don't like the player all that much, considering I'd rather have Etoo or Drogba in Milan instead, but I cant discount Adebayor at any rate. |

The problem with Adebayor is he has his off days, when he can absolutely piss the hell out of you. And they come more often than not. So in an average season, I think he plays about 40% of his matches decently, 30% of his matches well, and the remaining he's shite.
That said, if all of the team/management want him, they must have seen something I haven't. |

Milan are, according to Tuttosport (...), looking to sign São Paulo CB and former Silva teammate Miranda. They could very well make up a great duo but the idea of having two non-Italians at center back does not sound so good to me.

Yes but here in this forum people know more than Paolo which played with every single striker in the last 20 years! |

Well, dst, to put your mind at ease, tuttomercatoweb is reporting that Spurs outbid Milan for Miranda.
And I still don't like Adebayor. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Didn't like Shevchenko even when he was the golden boy either. |
