hey why won't you reply to my emotional post? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wub.gif)

I really feel you think i'm an idiot when you post such irrelevant facts... I believe I'm being respectful when I'm talking to you so I don't know why you're doing it but I'll answer anyway.

First of all, Barcelona had three players playing for that Spain's first XI (namely, Xavi, Iniesta and Puyol). Do three players constitute a football team? No. So there goes that.

Most importantly though, Pep did not take over "after Spain won the Euros". In fact, he took over when Barcelona had finished THIRD in La Liga the previous season, some 15 points behind RM! They also lost Ronaldinho and Deco that summer and they added no other attacking player. That's not awful but he surely did not took over at the best of times.

I'll keep it short as I am on my phone.

No I don't think you're an idiot, you made it sound like Barca had a real bad team before he took over is all. I do believe in addition by subtraction and Ronaldinho when not playing well makes it feel like you're playing with about 9 men at times. They also got rid of other poor performers like Thuram and Zambrotta whilst adding Piqué and Alves. He had a much better team than the previous season in my opinion, plus Messi wasn't a kid and Xavi was now in his prime.

Nah I don't think he had a bad team when he went there but I don't think it was great either. And surely, the team that he made was much different than the one he received, not only in the players in it, I mean the way they played and their attitude.

-We are linked with Balzaretti, Kolarov and Dossena. We are currently on the look for a fullback as Mesbah is set to leave.


-Allegri has asked Berlusconi to try and purchase Nuri Sahin. Allegri has no interest in a new ball winner as he wants to change how milan play for the coming season. Montolivo is set to feature in front of the defence as more of a tempo setter/ play maker with Nuri Sahin leading the creativity in front of the midfield.

-We are linked with another young prospect Omar El Kaddaouri. We are fighting a few clubs for him.



-Thiago Silva has told Galliani to sign a brazillian up coming talent, Romulo. We are linked.


-Mattia Destro's dad has said that he will choose where his son goes.


-Manchester City are linked with Ibrahimovic. Reports are coming in that Mancini will go after him if he cannot get Van Persie.


-Federico Faranada, an Italian transfer market specialist has said the following:

"I don't believe the market is closed for Milan. I believe Milan will make concrete moves in the the last weeks of August. Obviously times have changed so we won't see the big investment from Berlusconi as we've seen in the past but their will be moves. Galliani is one of the very best at this game and he'll be sure to bring in what is needed. Julio Cesar to milan? That is something that is quite pausible. The only problem I for see are the economic factors with Cesar's wage.



-We are linked with Tino Costa


-Besiktas has joined the race for Julio Cesar.


-Fenerbache is interested in purchasing Aquilani from liverpool.


-Dossena's agent has declined an interest for his client to join milan. He said they simply met with Galliani just to chat and that is all.


-Galliani: "A new deal for Nocerino? No he will not be a new contract. The market for us is closed however, i'm keeping up to date with what is happening around us.

So basically he has now realized Milan needs a Pirlo. Just one season after he let go of him without thinking twice. Great.

Yeah we def need a play maker its quite obvious. I"m just surprised he wants him that deep. I've always thought he'd push him more into an advanced position.

I hope that isn't what Allegri meant. Sahin is much better as LCM than AM, and Boateng is much better as AM than LCM/RCM(b2b). edit II: by the way, may I add Sahin would be an amazing signing?

So basically he has now realized Milan needs a Pirlo. Just one season after he let go of him without thinking twice. Great.

Allegri said wanting Montolivo in front of the defense, and Sahin playing more advanced. Pirlo wanted only to play in front of the defense, that is his position, so it's still not someone like Pirlo he wants.

Obviously it is someone creative, what Pirlo is, he wants and what we need badly.

edit I: or were you referring to Montolivo? In that case, Montolivo is defensively stronger than Pirlo. Allegri found Pirlo defensively too weak to play in front of the defense.

I dont' see Sahin coming personally. I think its just bs. We'll probably sign someone but it'll be brazillian is my guess. Its around that time. Every couple years we splash on some upcoming brazillian.

An attacking Milan for against average opponents:

Boateng
Sahin, Montolivo, Nocerino

A more balanced Milan for against top opponents:

Boateng
Sahin, Ambrosini, Montolivo

(I also am not hopeful about Sahin. I think he really wants to stay with Real, and then well, too bad for us.)

I don't think thats what Allegri is looking for. Your thinking of the old system where you have the ball winner in front of the defence and the creative mids surrounding him.


The new style of system I think he's going for is much more dynamic.



In the sense that our 2 Center midfielders will be the ones doing the work as were most likely going to pressure higher.



Right now our biggest problem is that we have 2 strikers, which for the most time don't defend. We cannot put a midfield behind them that doesn't defend either, especially in the core of it. I think hes realising that or I hope hes realising that.


You need more than just Ibra to win.
