I like gourcuffs style of play, hes got the confidence now to prove himself at a higher level. milan since sheva left have been mising something in games. even tho most of the time we enjoy more posession in games we dont have players that take shots! we alwasy get up to the 18yard box and then either pass it around untill we lose it, or send in a cross which kills me when we only play with one striker. his control power and accuracy is pretty amazing. the only players that consistantly take shots is kaka and pato, and when kaka wasnt in fourm letting him take shots was as useless as putting inzaghi on defence and pato hasnt been playin much lately. thats one of the things that bothers me bout playin wiht 2 defensive midfielders they dont give enough goin forward to help our attack.

I find Pirlo used to fill that void as Cannonball Mid, much as Sleepdwarf used to

i know the last few games pirlo was at the top of the box and id be screaming for him to shoot and he would hesitate and opt out to a thorugh pass or chip in instead. pirlo has deff been playing better recently then when he frist came back from injury this season but no wear near as effective as he was preworld cup fourm. and the dwarff has been really poor lately...like even worse then usualy i recall one decen shot on net besides his goal against juve in the last half dozon games atleast. i had high hopes for flamini to help in this department because hes got quite a shot on him and has good low shots, unfortunalty when he frist started getting playin time he would play catious and not wonder forward too much and when he finally adapted to the team and started to venture forward and unleash a couple shots he get moved to rb.
i don't think it's the players i truly think it's Ancelotti's system
look at these players
Gourcoff
Pirlo
seedorf
flamini
ronaldinho
All these great shooting mids never seem to shoot in ancelotti's system, death to the old Tactics!!! In with Rijkaard!!

Im shocked you forgot King Kaka in your short list but i aswell am gettin fed up with ancelottis poor decision making, i am also becoming increasing intrigued with seing what rijkaard would do with our team becuase i was a fan of his while his time at barca. im sure he would help with brining quality players to milan.
So... as it was mentioned in the summer transfer window thread, today Yoann won the French league's Best Player and Best Goal of the Year award. congrats to him. hope to see him back soon.

After his outstanding season that has Bordeaux firmly in the CL next season (which can't be said for us) and our horror show today, Gour can hardly be blamed if the reports are true that he wants to stay home in France.

Gourcuff rejects Rossoneri
Monday 25 May, 2009
Milan midfielder Yoann Gourcuff has declared his intention to stay at Bordeaux when his loan deal expires.
The 22-year-old signed for the Rossoneri from Rennes in 2006 and was touted as the new Zinedine Zidane.
But after struggling to find space at San Siro, Gourcuff was sent back to Ligue 1 to play for Bordeaux on loan.
Yoann has dazzled fans this season and won the Player of the Season award and it seems that he isn't keen to return to San Siro in the summer.
“I want to stay with Bordeaux,” he stressed emphatically. “Now it's just up to the directors to come to an agreement.”
The terms of the loan state that Bordeaux have the right to make the deal permanent, but they will need to find around £12m - a sum they are unlikely to meet.
Milan Vice-President Adriano Galliani has stressed that he hopes to see Gourcuff in the Diavolo shirt next term.

A great player lost because of Carlo's stubborn streak and inability to let go of the past.
I don't blame him for rejecting us.
We shouldn't have given them an option to buy, end of.

That's a very unfair sentence, but, let's not start with the whole Gourcuff-drama...
If only Carlo had left a year earlier - when he should have. 
If Carlo is Yoann's problem, he is most probably leaving. why would he not want to return once we bring a new coach? if he doesn't get over his fear of big challenges, he will never become a great player - he'll always remain a big fish in a small pond type player. he should be brave and come back to Milan!
Carlo's not (the only) problem Yohann has or had in the time with us.

Maybe, but he may have learned from his mistakes. he saw it's not a piece of cake playing and starring for Milan. now he has improved technically and hopefully mentally as well. but Carlo still is an obstacle in his way...

+ 1 .
Its always tough when a coach gets used to working with saavy professionals and veterans, and in comes a young rookie who is still learning the ropes. Still, I think the culture needs to change at Milan and more youth must come in - and if Carlos cannot relate to 20 somethings, then perhaps the writing is on the wall

I know people may say they didn't like his attitude, but he's young and can learn. Why is it Gourcuff gets a small chance and 'fails' so people don't want him. Yet Carlo has been given plenty of chances at this club and failed 90% of the time, yet people still wanted to keep him on..

i'm not going to cry in a corner dude , we lost him when we made that stupid buy for 15million contract in the first place i would rather he leave us then not get played under Carlo tbh. we lost him now we have to move on !
So now that Gourcuff is gone who'd be a good replacement for him based on how he has played so far...I thought he could've been our iniesta but that isn't meant to be..its really sad

Agent: No Serie A for Toni
Wednesday 27 May, 2009
Tullio Tinti, the representative of Italian international marksman Luca Toni, has laughed off speculation that the giant striker could join Milan or Juventus.
The former Fiorentina man's position at Bayern Munich is less safe after the arrival of Stuttgart star Mario Gomez.
And there have been suggestions in Italy that Toni may return to the peninsula with the Milan or Juventus shirt.
However, the player's agent Tinti claims he doesn't know where such stories have come from.
“We are taking about fantasy football,” he maintained to Tuttomercatoweb.
“I haven't heard from anyone. There will be no return to his homeland. Toni is staying where he is.”
Toni has an impressive strike rate in the Bundesliga and was the League's top scorer last season.

It was probably an unfair statement on my part.
Especially now looking at the situation after Gourcuff made his decision. If he wanted to really prove himself he would have come back and made Carlo eat his words. But he chose the easy way out and stayed with the smaller club in the inferior league. It's his problem if this is the only thing he'll aspire to in his carreer.
Although I am still not over the fact of how he was treated by Carlo
I was disappointed when I saw the announcement, but that's yesterday! sometimes that line in Fillipo's sig makes so much sense, no use crying over spilt milk! I'm not sad about losing Gourcuff anymore, but I am worried about our future.

Who knows where will Gourcuff be in one or two years' time? he could end up in another powerhouse...
