Seedorf is a genius and a big match player imo. He's intelligent, has an immense shot and a great passer of the ball.

His problems are the fact that he only shows up for the games that he wants to show up for, other then that if he decides he doesn't give a **** about the game he's going to walk around all game long and do nothing other then spray around some bad passes.

Seedorf has no motivation at all and yet is fully aware that Carlo will play him no matter what. That's dangerous.

Kaka will come back, you know..?

I have a feeling Ambro will be dropped, and Seedorf will take his place on the left of the 3 in the 4-3-2-1 formation.

No chance,...Carletto loves the double DM team even more then he does Seedorf. Naah,..

But if he puts Seedorf deeper down in midfield, maybe Clarence could do better then. I don't know, I won't judge him based just on the Bologna match. He was bad, but not that bad...I've seen far worse, even from him.

I've always thought he was better when he played there rather then in the attacking mid role. The only really good games I recall Seedorf having in this position were against Man U and Bayern.

As I've always said, against these smaller teams that like to defend I would like to see Seedorf in the midfield 3, but against teams like Inter Seedorf should be dropped for a second defensive mid

There's no argument from my side, that Seedorf needs to be in the middle 3. Esp, since we no longer have the old pacy second striker which was Sheva. Pato's good, but has some way to go, before he can fit in that same role. In fact, I'd rather Pato didn't play the Sheva position, but made a brand new niche for himself. Like how Kaka did. He was brought into backup Rui, but his style of play is totally different and we have managed to integrate it.

Anyway back to my point, the fact is there was a difference with Seedorf in the middle 3, since that was when we had Nesta-Maldini in top form as our CB pairing. We also had Nesta-Kaladze, and Kaladze was solid. With our defence so shaky, playing just one destroyer player is a risk, esp against the big teams.

And Maldini is either too old () or has just given up on trying to cover for Kaladze.

Bet you won't.

Clarence Seedorf has hailed Milan coach Carlo Ancelotti and says that the pair have a special rapport.


Seedorf has been receiving widespread praise around the peninsula this week after his brilliant individual performance against Inter in the derby victory on Sunday night.

During that game the Dutchman was played in a deep-lying playmaker role, a tactical move for which Ancelotti has been complimented for. Seedorf has now explained why he admires his coach.

"Because we have experienced many successes over many years,” Seedorf told the Gazzetta dello Sport.

“With Ancelotti some of us have a particular connection. He is an exquisite person from a human point of view. He is special.

“Whenever the two of us have had some hot debates, or arguments, it is only because we have a strong rapport of esteem and respect for one another."

Seedorf is now 32, and is in the final stages of his illustrious career, but it seems he has no immediate plans for retiring just yet.

"I do not know [when I will retire],” he stated.

“This season will be crucial. I have never stayed anywhere without stimuli, I need to feel always in progress.

“I have not thought about when I will stop because physically I have always felt good.”

Clarence Seedorf: I Could Leave Milan For England
The Rossoneri's Dutch veteran has reiterated his interest in the Premier League, although he is satisfied with his situation at the San Siro...

A host of clubs will no doubt be sizing up a January bid for AC Milan midfielder Clarence Seedorf after he expressed his love for the English game.
The 32-year-old snubbed a number of opportunities to make the switch during his prime years, but he has been thoroughly impressed by the competition's improvement in recent times.
"I would love to play in the Premier League," Seedorf said in the Daily Mail. "Which player wouldn't? It's one of the best leagues in the world. I'm happy at AC Milan but I never say never.
"The development of the Premier League over the last five years has been incredible. The football is exciting with much more quality. I love to watch it on television."
While it is unlikely that a top-four team will come calling for Seedorf at this stage of his career, Champions League hopefuls like Manchester City and Everton could use a player of his calibre and experience.

Seedorf if the EPL? He can't even run, or tackle, or defend.

It would be a good transfer. I don't mind selling him at all. There is a reason why people call him the "Turtle" that's because he can't even run! ... Maybe we should sign Drenthe, they say he's the next Edgar Davids.

The more we make Milan a retirement home, the more ground we'll lose in the transfer market.

We didn't like the original, why bother with a copy..

Max doesn't count. Despite the name, he's more or less James McAvoy in 'Wanted' before Angelina kidnapped him.

Max is a..


5 letter word..so you don't bash your head

Yes I am. Though not more than he is to the club.

Ancelotti Defends Seedorf From Ungrateful Milan Crowd

The Dutch player was jeered off the pitch following his performance on Wednesday evening during his side’s 1-1 match against Genoa.

Milan coach Carlo Ancelotti is very disappointed with the way that midfielder Clarence Seedorf was singled out by the home crowd on Wednesday evening.

Seedorf has been at Milan since 2002, helping the Rossoneri to obtain numerous victories domestically and abroad.

“I’m sorry that such an important player like Seedorf, who gave a lot for this shirt, is not given the right recognition, but we all know that in football recognition does not matter,” commented the former Juventus coach.

“Even now Clarence is doing well and we’re sorry to see the public against him.”

Ancelotti is also sorry for striker Marco Borriello, who has been hit by numerous injuries this season.

“He’s a player who we’re missing, because for the characteristics that he has, we have aimed a lot on him and we continue to do so,“ he continued.

“Unfortunately he was hit bit an infinite series of injuries and bad luck and he will not return before one month.”

Milan take on Lazio this evening at the Olimpico stadium of Rome, hoping to reach Juventus in second place and maybe decrease the gap from Inter.

What are you speaking about?

We had a discussion in one of the news' threads a few months ago. the point some made was that Real Madrid fans are glory hunters because they boo their team when they play badly.

dst, please don't get mad at me for asking this ( ), but wasn't booing and jeering a characteristic of glory hunter fans, like Madrid fans?

Yeah,..well, Real Madrid...ahh...they boo every time something happens. They throw things around, they run naked across stadiums, bring dead animals with them,...so...yes, I mean...Real Madrid fans (the ones dst meant probably, or those who boo a lot) are just stupid, while booing at Seedorf at this stage isn't "that" stupid.

OK, OK, thanks for explaining

Back to the topic, I think the fans who are unhappy with Seedorf's performances should understand that Seedorf is not the one who decides whether he plays or not. it's up to the coach... maybe it's all Seedorf can offer? maybe he can't play better? should Carlo keep fielding him for 90 minutes week in, week out?

Biased, as usual

Thats a valid point, but do we have any other viable alternatives? The ones we have have been marginalised and/or thrown away (Abate, Gourcuff)
