QUOTE (Fillipo Simone @ Feb 21 2009, 01:22 PM)  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... True. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) For me Abbiati has always been one step out of the big league. In his club career as well as with the NT. More talented than someone as Kalac, miles ahead of James/Gomes - just shy of the top spot. That makes him a very good 2nd choice in any club, actually, not just Milan. That's why I said he's finally got his luck back. Am I a fan? No way! Far from it. But I'd rather have Abbiati in our squad than that of any other club. QUOTE (Zed.D @ Feb 21 2009, 01:29 PM) That said, something tells me Galliani and co. will move for Adebayor sooner or later. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no!

Dida was given the starting spot over Rossi by Zaccheroni after Abbiati was called up for the 2000 Olympics. He was benched again when Abs returned. |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) And why are we only looking at Arsenal or Barca for our needs? Surely there are other clubs, there are other players, other talents. Better options. Maybe once he proves himself for a longer period of time (when he's around 28 or something), but surely not now. If it's a big and burly fellow we need, go hunting in Germany and get a random tall, but talented player. Cheaper. |

QUOTE (Fillipo Simone @ Feb 21 2009, 02:18 AM) Really? Was it immediatly? I always somehow related Dida's benching with the Leeds match.. The Leeds match definitely was a factor in his going back to the bench when Abs returned. Dida's first match in a Milan shirt was also in the CL, a 4-1 win over Besiktas a week before Leeds. He put in a strong performance in a 2-0 win over Barcelona the week after Leeds. Then Abs came back, and you know the rest. Had he not screwed up that night, it might've changed history. But then over the course of this decade, he went on to win everything with Milan while Leeds slowly swirled down the toilet of English football and are barely staying afloat nowadays. |

(I don't know anything about Floccari and am not talking about him) Toni, Iaquinta, Drogba and Adebayor (and from those we can't have, Zlatan and Adriano)... those are the closest to what we need. |

(in other words, he's not a target man with great aerial ability, is he? he's one with good technique, more capable on the ground than in the air). if we're going for such a striker, I'd rather have G.Rossi. he looks much more promising to me. |

QUOTE (CrazyMilanFan @ Feb 21 2009, 06:03 PM) nahi yaar Quagliarella is quite good has been for quite some time Haan yaar, magar woh uss tarah ka player nahi jo hamain chahiyay. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif) In simpler terms, he's not exactly the type of player we need. Even though I rate him very highly, and have done so for the past few years. But I'd rather save the money and get Paloschi back, because frankly we need a 6-2" to 6-4" guy up there, that can both run with the ball, and also keep it when he's given one. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Such a presence could very well free up space for our other attackers. Bottom line: We need a slightly younger Drogba. |

Insert cool title here<-- Group: Moderators Posts: 4,121 Joined: 7-May 06 From: Berlin, Germany Member No.: 1,792 |
How about Bochums Christoph Dabrowski, he's my favorite Bundesliga player, he's a tall (1.95m) midfielder who scores great goals from time to time (in this season he already scored 6).
Nah, seriously. Good strikers in the Buli? There's Gomez of course (my favorite German striker) and there's also Leverkusens Patrick Helmes. The latter is a formidable target man and has been in great form since he joined Leverkusen last summer. If you simply want someone who's tall, Leverkusens Stefan Kießling is your man...but he's more the working kinda striker...not the one who scores many goals (this is, seriously, no offense). |

Factoid: Helmes put two past Hoffenheim's keeper (Timo Hildebrand) last weekend. Nicely taken goals too.
That said, if we only get to pick one player from Leverkusen, I'm still picking Adler first. |
