I really like MvB, coz he's a coach who's both a disciplinarian and plays good football. The trouble is he's very inexperienced and of course won't come into a team with Seedorf.


You talk as if Seedorf is a 25yo boy who we are going to build our future around (IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif) he will be 33 in two months!

Or MvB comes and Seedorf goes then we're all happy. Well, you are not happy but you have rum to comfort you!

I for sure won't. I mean - Holland '06 sucked, Holland '08 surprised but got eliminated because of inexperienced tactic's, the Ajax '09 sucked. Is this a Milan-worthy curriculum? Hell, I'd even be happier with Donadoni, and when I say does words, you know it's 10 past 12...

Think it could be Leonardo, and the only thing that speaks in favor is the brazilian contingent - maybe he "looks like a soft guy" but in fact he's liked in Brazil and I think would know how to deal with stars from SA, which we are, satified or not, full of.

I would not be happy either, it was just a matter of speech. Curriculum? I think we're too obsessed about that... Carletto had done nothing worth speaking of before coming to Milan either. The same for Capello and Sacchi.

*** is... ?

Okay so he finished second. So has Spalletti a couple of times and I don't think you want him in Milan that much. Then there's also Capello and Carletto. The first a nobody (as a coach) when he joined us and the second a flop.

Haha.. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

I was lazy to write assistant coach but my short version was automatically recognized like a "mean word".
Anyway, note that Ancelotti's Parma was a "smaller" team then Roma. But anyway, yes, both were unproven. But MvB isn't unproven, more that his "curriculum" bolds out the word - fail, as much as I liked it otherwise.

Oh these reports are just so accurate... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) So the big teams are interested in one of the hottest young players in Europe? wow... and Spanish newspapers claim it's a fight between Barcelona and Madrid, Italian newspapers claim it's a fight between Milan and Inter while English inserts claim it's a fight between Chelsea and United. How imaginative!

QUOTE (l_diavolo_mtl)
since i have the luxury of having actual dida fans here lol may i ask what they think of abbiati because i think he's been overachieving all year and although has been in great form, isn't as good as dida. Bias? DEFINITELY

QUOTE (acid911 @ Feb 18 2009, 06:51 AM) *
Wait for a member named MizNelson, she'll answer that. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/devil.gif) Of course, I will too, but she's the biggest fan of Dida in these parts of the wood. In fact, she's probably a bigger fan of Dida than a thousand of us combined. LOL. I expect a very detailed answer from her, now that you've bought Abbiati up.

Took me long enough. Anyway, Abbiati is having a great season, yes. However, he's nowhere near as talented as Dida and never will be. Regrettably, I don't have much to say on the issue myself because acid covered it already here. I will add, however, that he seems to be doing better in small doses, which probably should have happened before he was benched last year; instead, he was regularly overworked due to inferior backups.

That being said, I am upset that his best effort this year so far was in a useless Coppa Italia match (Lazio) instead of the UEFA Cup.

Took you long enough, alright! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Anyway I agree with your post, Miz, particularly about this last part. He was amazing in that match, the player of old. As for Abbiati, well I think after all this years his luck has finally come back to him. He's been really lucky with the fans (he's let in lots of goals and seldom turned a match on his own, a la Cesar, for example), as well as with his form (made some rather excellent saves and stops).

For the time being I think we're decent if not spectacular in the goalie department, and certainly won't be going for another GK in this transfer window. Next year, most probably. This time it'll be defense and maybe a forward.

Agree. But then again, Abbiati's career has always been like that, unexpected up's and down's. He benched Seb Rossi, the Seb Rossi from Milan, never did anything "completely wrong", but somehow got pushed aside by Dida, who ****up against Leeds, so Abbiati returned, and then after a while (season or so) Dida took over again...

(IMG:http://i42.tinypic.com/28s1lw4.gif)

I'm not even thinking about Benzema as a Milan target. we usually don't buy such talents at this age - when they're established and wanted by all of Europe's big teams. instead we wait until they're 31, cheap and unwanted, then we move for them. I doubt that we can economically compete with likes of Man U, Real, Barca, etc. anyway...


That said, something tells me Galliani and co. will move for Adebayor sooner or later.
