Can't we go for Spaletti? Or heck even Prandelli? Either are more acceptable than Miha. Granted they're far from my first choice and certainly not what's needed to be competitive but I rate them much more highly than Miha

Whatever happened to Rijkaard anyway? Does he have a team?

Last I read Ibra was still bitter at Galliani for the transfer. Still I don't think he's all that satisfied with life in Paris tbh, and he's always said that Milan was his favourite city to live in as well

[Fillipo Simone]

I don't think bringing in Ibra would make much sense at this point anyway.

As for the options, I'd take Rijkaard. He's a former Milanista but has distance and experience.

[X-Offender]

Mihajlovic is not a done deal, though. There's nothing official yet. An now with Mr. Bee on board, who knows, we might aim for somebody else.

But really, you're all acting as if we've got the next Inzaghi or something. Mihajlovic is not that bad. It's not as if Prandelli or Montella are any better. Not for me, at least. And besides, if he fails then we can just fire him and hire Carlo next season when he'll be available. Or Klopp.

[Fillipo Simone]

What does make you think otherwise? What's making him good?

- solid job with Samp
- not very good run with Serbia
- awful spell with Fiorentina; several disputes again
- good job with Catania, 13th
- he managed to bring Bologna into a relegation place (after he left they took a turn); had several disputes
- he's a former Interista which irks me but it's irrelevant really

That's really nothing special. With 21 wins and 16 defeats for Samp and his bad run at Fiorentina, I dare again ask you what makes you so positive?

[han2503]

I don't agree that there're no difference between him and Montella or Prandelli.

Prandelli has more experience than both of them put together. While Montella imo is a far more talented tactician. I'd take either of them in a heart beat over Miha

I said Mihajlovic is not that bad. He did very well with Sampdoria, his most recent spell, which is what really matters. He's matured as a coach over the years. He seems ambitious, has a strong character, and a lot of experience as a player behind his shoulders. Obviously I'd have preferred Ancelotti or Emery or even Spaletti, but it didn't happen so let's be optimistic about it, shall we?

Never liked Prandelli. He has a very rigid mindset that reminds me a lot of Allegri. Montella is alright, but I don't really consider him any better than Mihajlovic. They're the same level, regardless of how you look at it.

Our offer for Ibra: €6.5 million per season and €15 million to PSG.

Is it worth it? I have my doubts.

It's half of what he's making now.

Tbh I'm pretty sure he'd be great, he's still an amazing player and he'd also be the guy that can really turn things around for us as he's simply that kind of player.

But I'm hoping that if we do actually sign him that it won't simply stop there. I think a striker should be second priority at this point. That's the main thing that concerns me at this point with all this Ibra talk.

Anyway, I still think it's mostly fantacalcio. How long does Ibra still have left on his contract anyway

One year.

Dani Alves being linked as well...

[Rossoneri7]

With Alvez stating he wants to come to Milan, Ibra also being strongly linked ... I sense the new strategy is to ensure the team wins from day one. Then attracting the promising ones. At this point in time, I couldn't care less who comes in or not, what is important is to go back to the CL and if that requires 33 year old players, then so be it.

[X-Offender]

Dani Alves being linked as well...

Yeah, I read that. I honestly don't want us going after +30 players regardless of how good they may be. I'd rather spend on established players who still have a lot to give.

I agree with that too. Ibra for me is an exception as he's not just any old run of the mill 30+ year old

Alves on the other hand is someone we do not need and a huge wage that will surely become problematic for us quick. Just renew Abate's contract and focus on areas that really need improvements. Mainly midfield

[Forza Milan!]

I'll gladly take Ibra (assuming he is interested in coming), because I think he can still deliver for a few more years. The idea of building the team around him is rather intriguing, though I have to wonder how well that would work.

Hopefully, however, we will get younger players for the rest of the team. (With all of Berlu's statements about only focusing on players under 25, we seem to be going for a lot of 30+ players.)

Not too happy with Miha, but at least he has experience and ambition, and hopefully he has learned from his past mistakes. (Pippo, OTOH, did his learning on our nickel. Same for Allegri IMHO, though to a lesser extent.)

Agreed, but I'd rather take Montella over Mihajlovic, not only because I think he is slightly better in his footballing philosophy than than the latter, and that may come into play when (or if) we have a better squad with more talented players around. That, and his name is easier to pronounce. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif) Just kidding.

The thing with Mihajlovic is that he seems someone that is better at getting performances out from his players, at least as he's recently shown, so that's a bit of a plus point. But overall both are on a similar level. Emery would have been an awesome risk, though, only because of his lack of Serie A experience. But he'd have been great.

Was quite glad that we were being linked with him, might have signed him too had he not won the Europa League and subsequently a ticket to the CL.
