Han, I know you always back the team. However, you shouldn't look into only this game, you must look into our serie of matches.

What we have now? No leader, no form, no spirit, ... We need a fresh wind. The extension of Carlo last season is a bs ... I swear.

A defeat like this is certainly not something to be proud of, but I'll say it again I was expecting it.

And I know what you are saying, conserving our energy in this match doesn't mean that they will come out all guns blazing in the Toro match, and it doesn't mean that we will win it either.

Bu i still can't see why all this commotion has come up, we where complaicant and played awful, and that's where my theory of them not even trying comes from.

But my point still is, why go all out to get a win you don't need when you could be risking players you desperately need fit at the moment? it's just not worth it imo.

And about the CL KOs, we'll see what transpires during the transfer window and how we will come out playing after the break before we start talking about getting spanked

5M for Oddo and 15M for Suazo? When other big clubs asked Cagliari they wanted 25-30M for him...

But if we want to get the 4th place we must buy them. And probably a center-back too. And I wouldn't mind a keeper.

Here's my Xmas list:
-Foward (Suazo?)
-RB (Oddo?)
-CB (...?)
-GK (...?)

Well let's hope we're right, because this is getting really messi game by game, the point is like X said , and as many has said it also, if galliani, berculconi, braida, milan itself don't bring new players for this transfer window , milan won't acomplsished anything this season.

I can't see this happening in january. They will buy max 2 players. The rest (including a LB and DM) in the summer.

Well I used to back them up when they where JUST drawing 0-0s and everybody was already coming to conclusions about the team being sh!t.

But what happened in this match really doesn't bother me at all.

Did I want us to win? Of course I did, I even would want them to win a stupid pre-season friendly.
But did I expect them to win or to come out fighting in this match? Not really.
Was I annoyed and frustrated when we conceeded 2 stupid goals that could have easily been prevented if our head was in the game? Definately.

Right now all I'm waiting for is for the winter break to come and hopefully with it confirmation of some of our starters being recovered and regaining fitness and at least 2 signings

-Foward (Suazo?) yes
-RB (Oddo?) yes
-CB (...?)---- barzagli / mexes / chivu
-GK (...?)---- amelia / buffon

Ps : i know im dreaming.. but let me be

milan website is so ***** they dotn even mention the result they just give kaladze's comments on the game: we must forget this loss blahg blah blah.." well kaladze then i guess we must forget this whole season and go home. look some of you were like oh this game wasnt important well then i guess they dint deserve to have any fans come and support them with that sorta attitude cuz thats exactly what displayed on the pitch, that this game wasnt important. i cant wait for them to lose in the next round so they no excuses and we can have a massive clean up.

How about this?

-Foward (Suazo?)
-RB (Oddo?)
-CB (Barzagli?)
-GK (Sorrentino?)

About the Suazo thing, 25 mil€ would still be able to be covered just be using the money from UEFA and maybe pulling out 5 mil from our own pockets, and another 5 mil for Oddo, it's strill in out price range and if our managemet had any sense they would try and get these 2. Money shouldn't be a problem for us considering how much we made from selling 3 top players and not having to pay their wages anymore and the bwin deal.

Barzagli should be brought in in the summer, I don't think we currently need another CB the fullback areas are much bigger problems.

And getting Amelia to sit on a bench for the whole season after Dida returns would be pointless seeing as he is still developing and needs his playing time. sorrentino would be great to have as a second choice keeper, a hundred times better then Kalac.



I'm keeping my fingers crossed that at least we'll get a RB and a forward

We need a keeper available for the UCL... the league at last... well you know.

Dida would have recovered by the time the CL starts up again.

I just don't see the point in getting someone like Amelia or Buffon while we still have Dida, if we have confirmation of what he will do with the contract situation then the management will move from there and decide who they want to replace him with.

Sorrentino is a good keeper and would be very reliable to have as a second choice

i never said sorrentino was a bad one, he made some great saves against milan. but i think he rathers to stays in AEK and play as a firts keeper , to come to milan and warm the bench.

Well, I don't think this is our main problem. 25.800 people during in a CL match? This is like nothing. When we played against Brescia there where only 1.800 (!) people in the stadium. This is joke. People are p!ssed because of Calciopolli and our recent performances.
1800 people? There are people watching games of my local club which is playing in the 4th league, in a city much smaller than Milan.
An I know for sure that stadiums in english and german stadiums there are much more people even at league games. In Dortmund for example, which is playing really crappy right now, there are 80.000 people wtaching their games every two weeks. And even Schalke could sell 120.000 tickets for their home games if they wanted to.
I don't know exactly why there are only 25.000 during a CL tie, but this is not normal...


As for the winter I don't think we'll be able to sign Oddo or Suazo. Cagliaris demands for Suazo are insane, and Galliani surely doesn't want to spent big...
And I could understand if Oddo doesn't want to join us. In the summer he almost begged for a transfer and we didn't sign him...

Why doesnt Galliani try and buy players. Doesn't Milan have alot of money apart from the sheva transfer(45mEuro). Oli couldnt cost more than 10m. I wish milan would buy


RB: oddo
Gk: Hildebrand
CAM: Diego

theres rumors galliani is ripping money off. oli was over 10 million + vogel which it pretty strange when in my opiniion vogel is still a quality player and pretty close in value to oliveira. who know maybe that bald loser keeping a lil extra for himself?

i thinks things have to change by then. a team like milan cant stay in the gutter for this long. and if they dont i'll fly to milan and spit in gallianis face (thats if he's still prez)

considering money seems to be the main concern for milan rigth now if they start losing money from ticket sales and merchandise cuz we suck then they'll have to invest. over here for hockey things are different. for us a season of hockey each team plays 82 games in 6 months + playoffs which can last up to 2 months. but the thing is it's hard to build big indoor skating rinks cuz the quality of the ice must be kept so the the building can only be a certain size, hence the capicity is never more than 20 000. so that means every game is sold out. in toronto ( which i hate dearly, even more than juve and inter combined) it's almost imporssible to get tickets for the next 5 years cuz they're so high in demand. so the guys who run the team couldnt care less about how the team is doing cuz they're making sooo much.

how exactly does this system work.?

Yeah and they'll have to be 30+ and injury prone to meet our qualifications.

Disgraceful.

Correction Sheva cost Chelsea something like over 60m Euros.

A CAM is not needed imo we need a forward and a RB much more.

Oddo and Suazo are the best options out there for January, both don't have to adapt to Serie A and neither is cup tide.

With the money we have we should be able to afford these easily.

And about the attandences, yes it is bad, Italy always suffered in this aspect and the calciopoli in the summer continued to help the situation. Us laying bad right now doesn't really matter, and it doesn't affect the merchandising either, look at Real for example, they have sucked for these past 3 years and they still are one of the strongest clubs in the marchendising buisness.

Milan stars' Mea Culpa

Kakha Kaladze and Cristian Brocchi confess the Milan players could’ve done more against Lille last night.

“We are disappointed, above all because we didn’t like the way we approached this game,” said the Italian midfielder of the 2-0 home defeat.


“Every one of us is aware we could’ve done more. At the same time, we know what we’re going into for the rest of the season and that you can’t always be on top.”


“This is a difficult time for us with many injuries and others playing with niggling problems, but that doesn’t excuse this kind of a performance. Many of us played tonight gritting our teeth because of an emergency situation, as we would’ve been rested in other circumstances.”


The result did not change the Rossoneri’s campaign, as they were already secure of top spot in Champions League Group H.


“It’s certainly our fault as players, but every one has to take their own responsibilities and realise there is more that can be done. Now there are four games left before the Christmas break, which will allow us to train hard and recover physically.”


Brocchi also denied that the newspaper speculation over massive January changes to the squad was affecting concentration.


“When things are going well there is transfer talk because they want to lure Kaka away. When they’re going badly there are rumours we need new players, so either way Milan are going to make headlines.”


Kaladze admitted it was hardly a vintage performance, but insisted this was not something to get concerned about.


“It’s certainly not nice to lose a Champions League game, especially when you’re at San Siro, but this match counted for nothing as we were already qualified. So we hope to put this terrible performance behind us,” said the Georgian international.


“The club will think about the transfer market in January, but it is bad for us to have so many great champions out of action with injuries. All the remaining teams are in the competition strong now, but nobody is unbeatable in this sport, not even Barcelona.”

Football Italia

The players just admitted themselves that they wheren't even trying to put in the effort

I'm confident that things will change after christmas break, well they can't get any worse

It's not so hard... From the best team we can get to the worst team we can get.

Those are the only teams we can face in the next round.

If we are going to keep playing the way we are currently playing now, then Celtic should be the best option for us

Players rating from Gazzetta dello Sport:

Kalac - 6
Bonera - 5.5
Simic - 5
Kala - 6
Janku - 5
Brocchi - 6
Seedorf - 5
Pirlo - 5.5
Ambro - 5.5
Kaka - 5
Gourcuff - 5
Borriello - 5.5
Pippo - 5.5
Carlo - 5.5

that's actually good... most of them played way below 5!!

There is always a chance, but wel all now the issue here, is milan doesn't moves pieces on the invernal transfer market, were through ...

How come you people speack about Oddo, he's a 30 yo player!!!!
Plus some of you think we don’t need an attacking midfielder, haven't you seen the last 2 games?
We played with a flat midfield system and it was awful, do you really think we have a sub for Kaka', Seedorf is too slow and Gourcuff is still too young, so I think we definitely need a young experimented CAM just as a RB and a Sheva type forward!

We don't need a CAM, we already have Ricky, and there is no better player out there. Seedorf and Gourcuff are playing in a more central role, and it's the same for Rino. And playing with 2 CAMs never worked in the history of football. Someone has to be the boss...

Yes we have Kaka', but we have only him and I can't see the guy playing every game!
What about Diego, have you seen what he did against Barça?

At firsth glance I thought the dash ( - ) was to indicate that the rating is below 0, I was even going to post and ask you if this is just a joke.



Milan played some of their best football with Kaka and Rui behind Crespo or Sheva. It's just a matter if they are able to work with eachother.

We only stopped using that formation because of Silvio's 2 striker rule

Me too, but I thought it was deserved

It wouldn't have been too unbelievable

Yeah I know, but when it's supposed to be coming from a newspaper I wouldn't expect it, even if rating below 0 where definately deserved by some of our players last night

I've seen him quite often recently. He's a great player, but I don't think he would accept being Ricky back up, especially considering that he was benched in Porto for the most games of the last season...

Sure, but still there is so many games in a season that he could easily find a place in that squad, I'm not even speaking about the possibility of playing with 2 CAM ...

why is kalac better rated than others !!! lol
SCANDAL pfff...

yes diego is awesome!
but I don't see werder giving him up now...

He made great saves, without him we could have took 2 more goals!



I came up with Diego just to answer LaPalma who said "there is no talented CAM out there"

I never said that there's no talented Cam's out there, there may be dozens of them like Messi maybe Iniesta, Kerlon, Schweinsteiger and so on. But I simply don't think they'll join us because there's no chance of benching Ricky...

Who talked about beching Kaka' ???

AHHHH...what part about
didn't you get? Why should a talented young player join us when there not a chance to make it to the starting eleven?

It seems that we don't have the same vision of football and team management!

you and Diego!?

No, me and Kalac
