A.C.MILAN: UFFICIALE IL PRESTITO DI FOGGIA
31/08/2006
L'A.C.Milan comunica di aver ceduto alla S.S. Lazio, a titolo temporaneo con diritto di riscatto per la compartecipazione, il calciatore Pasquale Foggia.

Its good we have a squad now for this season we already know our player now so its up to ANCOTTTi now to work on those player thay have to play togerher to know our play when they get to CLbecause thats the big game in europe i pray we have a nice season this term with our player....

Looks to me.

yeahhhhhh, it's very tight in forward, but i would go with what you have.

Hope you're right about Paolo...

Kaladze can fill in for him at any time.

and Bonera as well!!!

So we have 24 players.
Differences with last season:
DEFENCE:
Stam --> Bonera (same as Stam can play as CB or RB)
+Favalli
MIDFIELD:
Vogel --> Brocchi
Rui Costa --> Gourcuff
ATTACK:
Shevchenko --> Oliveira
Amoroso --> Borriello

Well by name we are defenetly weaker, but let's wait and see how this team will perform on the pitch.

As for defence:
Maldini CB (but can also play LB)
Nesta CB
Kaladze CB (but can also play LB)
Bonera CB (but can also play RB)
Costacurta CB (but can also play all the other positions)
Cafu RB
Å imič RB (but can also play as CB)
Serginho LB (but can also play as LM)
Jankulovski LB (but can also play as LM)
Favalli LB (but can also play as CB)

So by main positions we have 5 CB, 2 RB and 3 LB.

Inzaghi-------Oliveira
(Gilardino) (Borriello)

For the first half of the season this looks OK
Maybe in winter some reinforcements for defence

Gilardino needs to play. He can score. And I hope Inzaghi will be his sub, not the opposite.

Definately Pippo should be kept as our 'secret CL' weapon. If pippo where to play all the serie A games then either he will get injured or by the end of the season he will be all tired out.

Besides the Serie A is Gila's natural environment. I'm sure he'll score a lot for us this season. Pippo should always be the imergency sub in the domestice league, but in the CL he should always be the starter, atleast until Gila starts to score on the competition

Don't count on it

Why not?

They don't think like we are. We needed them to buy new defenders last year , last winter , this year and we got nothing. + they don't like to buy players in winter + it will be hard to find a player in winter that can play in the CL

But we can use them in Serie A matches
If Nesta ,Maldini or Kaladze will get injured there will be a problem
The only player that we have and can replace one of them is Bonera
Simic ,Favali - i dont think so

hmm...Han ur right about Pippo...I think I said it somewhere myself...all the difference between a bazooka and an ICBM between those two..form wise of course, never on skill...

@Mishale: I still hold out hope for winter...there are a bunch of guys like Barzagli, Oddo etc whom we can get...they r definitely seeing no CL action..

I also liked what we did about Foggia...good work out for the lad...

I'm inclined to think Yoann(We reeeally need a nick for this kid) is gonna wlk into Pirlo's place as sub rather than kaka...I just think that's what he's being groomed for...Clarence is better suited for Kaka's place anyway...

We need CDM's seriously...this is gonna be a worry unless...Mad Max is fighting fit...

Apperantly Mad Max has already encountered a problem today with the Azzurri during training, he picked up some sort of injury and it's bad from what I heard. Well here is the Vogel deal biting us in the @ss.

And I agree with you on the Gourcuff thing., When I've seen him play he seemed more suited when he was playing Pirlo's role then when playing Kaka's

I think he is more suited playing Seedorf's role!

Yoann is definetely more like Kaka!!!!

but anyway ... this disagreement only powers up that nickname idea me and han had ... so Jack what you're looking for is Karlo!!!!

is it official??? can we call him Karlo!!!???

Nah, sounds like Ancelotti... Gourcuff is good.

Pika!!!???? don't tell me it sound like Pikachu!!!!!!!

No, it doesn't sound like Pikachu, it sounds retarded.

Actually Pika is a Maltese word, it means that someone likes to argue. So no dst think of something else



I think until he works on his body strength he would be more useful to us as Pirlo's sub then as Kaka's because with all the tough man-marking that he will have to endure in Kaka's position he will need to build some upper body strength

OK you pick one ...


well that's another issue; what I'm saying is that his movement on the field, his through balls and basically everything I saw from his time in Rennes and against Red Star is reminiscent of Kaka ...

Gourcuff is an awesome find, great talent, poise and a wonderful touch on the ball. Gila should start for sure over Oliveira he's of a higher quality and if he works hard he can have a breakthrough season for Milan.

what about "goro"

like the one from Mortal Kombat ... you think baby-faced Yoann can perform fatalities!!???

nooooooooooooo, I was just makeing an easy word.

then say goru

*edit - and sounds more french

Pika-Pika-PIKACHU!
Ahem...I don't know how about...The Frenchmen..WOW that's creative...Oh I know "Le boss" OK...he doesnÄt deserve that nick exactly now but maybe in some years

No we can't play Pippo with Gila, our only options for next season are

Pippo--Oliveira
Gila--Oliveira

Definitely. Ancelotti said Oliveira is the perfect shoulder for Inzaghi and Gilardino.

maybe a Zidane-related nickname???

Who is this guy Lunati? I could not find him on the web site.

Primavera player

I already tried Zidaninho...but doesn't sound french enuff....And too Brazillian...we have enuff Brazillians on the team...

milan it starting to look like orkut

Inter squad 2006-2007

Goalkeepers: Carini, Julio Cesar, Toldo, Orlandoni

Defenders: J. Zanetti., Coco, Samuel, Materazzi, Maicon, Grosso, Cordoba, Andreolli, Cordoba

Midfielders: Figo, Vieira, Stankovic, Solari, Maxwell, Dacourt, Cambiasso,N.M Gonzalez

Forwards: Recoba, Cruz, Adriano, Crespo, Choutos, Ibrahimovic

their midfield sucks

I think Figo's experience is starting to kick in; did u see his goal against Juve ?

Even w/ a great midfield, Inter will stumble, at one point or another .. And that is when they see us flashing our high beems at them and passing them with consecutive wins

It's bound to happen, it always does (Viera's form tends to dip after the first 10 games). Plus Inter has a tough group to deal w/ at the CL, so that midfield of theirs will break down soon.

nope I thought about that too ... it sounds bad!!! anyway ... Italians will soon have a nicky for newbie ... till then Gourcuff is fine ... if you can spell it that is!!!!


yes but I luuuuuuuv Solari!!!!


you mean Adriano's goal right??? come one I watched it over and over again that ball was amazing ... more than half of that goal is of the Brazilan!!!

Nothing special IMO

They will have social problem in the squad. Especially between the strikers.

I bolded their most dangerous and effective players.

i have all my hopes on KAKA and in midfield in general coz other parts doesn't look so competetive for becoming Seria A champion (with even minus 8 points) and CHL.

No it was a one-two .. Figo's goal .. They single handedly cut Juve's defence in half w/ just one move

Yeah .. It was worth the replay

Zanetti and Grosso!!!????
However I can see why you say Materazzi is "effective"

Well he is able to cut someone's legs in half at any given moment. or get someone from the opposing team sent off by getting head-butted in the chest. So I think that he is very effective

I believe J. Zannetti is the only play in Inter that plays with heart. So yeah, I think he is pretty effective. Matterazzi? The man is a beast of a player. He is a f@cking cold blooded killer. He is friggin' effective I tell you! And yes, I think Grosso is a great player.

Wat the hell happened to the surprise?!!!!!

wheres shevas equal?!!!!!!!

What do you mean? We got Borriello, what the hell do you want more?

Just kidding with you pal We didn't get the so awaited so surprise, and Oliveira is supossed to be Sheva's equal. We'll see.
