I think the first priority at the moment for Milan is to sell Cassano, hopefully for a swap deal with montolivo.

Just as long as montolivo isnt our promised mr X, really really do want to see the back of cassano even though i was a big fan of him uptill he played in our shirt.

Goodbye Cassano

[Fillipo Simone]

Why do you people so forcefully want Cassano to be sold? I mean, can't we be happy we're very well covered in that segment?

Because we are well covered in attack and need a couple good midfielders to have any chance at a decent season. If Cassano is sold it very likely means we get one of those needed mids.

Look, I understand that but I'd rather hold on to Cassano and wait till the winter period to sign Ganso and someone else then loose a very good Cassano for a average midfielder like Montolivo.

[KillerMax]

Didn't Cassano actually help up in the scudetto run with his useful appearances? How many of those players do we actually have that can even come from the bench and give the team a fighting chance?

Completely agree with Filippo. I don't understand how people would count El Sharaawy, Paloschi and Pippo as full proof options for our attack. The Egyption is not even a striker, and is highly unproven not to mention the fact that we'll probably won't be seeing him play a lot, Palo is the same thing, he's not reliable, while Pippo is very injury prone and shouldn't be counted as a solid option. Essentially we have 4 full proof strikers (Ibra, Pato, Robi and Cassano) with Pato being highly prone to injuries.

Cassano is currently our only real creative player that has the ability to put in that final ball in tight spaces, as was demonstrated last season when we were in jams. Getting rid of Cassano would be a mistake, especially if the deal is to exchange him for an everage player like Montolivo.

If we get good money for him, or can exchange him for a top AM (Pastore maybe) then ok, but not for someone like F'ing Montolivo.

Well said!

I really cannot believe that people are making a case for the removal of Cassano by mentioning Palo and El Sharaawy, and also Pippo to en axtent, not because he cannot do it, but because his body is just reliable any more and can give out at any time.

Thanks guys (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

But Pastore won't come, he's bound with PSG. I think it's official.

Pastore was an example, exchanging Cassano for Montolivo, at least without any good cash coming our way, would be idiotic on the management's part.

Cassano along with Pirlo is 1 of the very few top class talented Italians in circulation at this time, giving him up for a player like Montolivo would be ridiculous, even if we need a midfielder badly. Montolivo is not worth that much, they spent a lot on a kid like El Sharaawy, so I don't think getting Montolivo would be a big problem if the management actually did want him.

Btw, still can't understand why Pastore would want to go to PSG, but that's another thing all together and probably shouldn't be discussed here

If Cassano was serious about his future with us he would've used the off season to get back in shape and earn his starting place. I can't take away the fact that he helped us with a few crucial games coming off the bench, this is true. But if we can sell our 5th string striker to fund a first string midfielder, you'd have to be crazy not to go for it.

Montolivo ain't that bad, and is underrated on this board IMO, but he shouldn't be our only signing if purchased.

Who are the 4 strikers before him?

One would think that we're in December right now from you comment, and not July/August.

[Dracoris]

If I said 4th string would it make you feel better? Does it really matter or do you have your cranky pants on today?


Your second comment doesn't even make sense. Even Galliani has voiced his displeasure with Cassano's weight. This time last year you guys were saying identical things about Ronaldinho. According to this source: http://www.milannews.it/?action=read&idnotizia=58074 he's last place in Allegri's pecking order. Thats not exactly earning your place for our "most creative striker."

I would give my opinion on the matter, but I'm afraid Fillppo and han will spank me, so I refrain.

[Fillipo Simone]

You afraid? Wow, that's a new. Of all the people...never expected that to hear from you. Don't worry, I don't spank, at least not boys (IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

Don't worry, I don't spank, at least not boys

But Han still does. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/goodheart.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy.gif) Or so I've heard.
