I guess.....so you wouldn't say you're tall?

He, we go by feet-inches here too. Anyway, you're a luck man, Blue. 6-2, 6-3 is pretty decent (anywhere in the world). That's quite a lot of real estate.

I'm probably about the same height as Bluesummers. I used to be a CB, but my coaches changed me to a forward after I was founed going forward way too often.. I wanted to be the hero with the goals all the time.

Sounds like my own story
Only that I'm a bit taller

God I feel like such a shorty. I'm 181cms...that makes it around 5' 11 I think.

*sigh*

U guys sure are lucky..
im 163cm

You're still a whole lot taller when compared to where you come from, captain. Comparatively, speaking you're half a foot taller than Shahrukh Khan. But yeah, being on the right side of 6 foot is always preferred, not the least because you get a good, strong physique to boot.


That shouldn't stop you in life, though. Just ask Maradonna.

Sure bro! Besides, i got all d girls that i wanted.
Its a blessing in disguise really

Hehe, spoken like a true Devil.

I would usually come up with some anti-Maradona thing to say, but he's had to live his whole life being Argentine, I think that's punishment enough.

Ouch

This is probably only of interest to those who can read Italian but Daniele Bonera is going to do a live chat on acmilan.com at 1pm Milan time tomorrow.

I like Bonera very much and really think he may be basic element of our defense

He is slowly becoming a solid defender ... As of late, his performances have impressed me, especially when comparing him to when he first came from Parma.

^^ I agree, hopefully he'll continue that way and we'll find another quality CD to be his central partner, I really hope we find that in Darmian

Of course. Under Carlo, anything is possible!

Cookie to Max

Things we learned in today's chat with Bonera:
* He was in preseason training with Parma when the contract from Milan arrived. He couldn't quite believe that his favourite club wanted to sign him.
* He prefers wearing trainers when he's not playing.
* He prefers Playstation to Xbox.
* Franco Baresi is his idol.
* He does speak some English (answered questions that he'd never been to Thailand and that yes, he does like Formula 1 in English).
* Pippo is the Milan striker he has the hardest time against in practice games.

Nice facts, Thanks Tennie!!

I can imagine Pippo celebrating a goal in training like it'd just won his team the World Cup.

[AC Milan announces that Daniele Bonera had surgery today at the Madonnina Clinic in Milan. The surgery, to repair a hernia, was successfull and the player should observe a period of rest of at least 3 weeks.]


He's been our best CB this season so far.

The ghost of Agnelli must be hexing us.

Naah, that's getting over the top now! We're like a sickbay. Not only the vets, even players like Bonera! If it's one position rotation isn't quite good, it's the CB position. And honestly, when did we play the same CB pair two or three times in a row? I don't know. If that continues we could easily sign all 4 or 5 suggested defenders.

Does this mean Maldini, Kaladze, Senderos and Favalli are our only available CBs? (Not that Favalli even is one!).

(And Darmian).

Senderos.

He said senderos already...

So that leaves us with 4 actual CBs [one on whom has just turned 19 an is yet to played by Ancelotti in Serie A this season, with just one sub appearance in the previous] and a WB that plays a CB role when desperately needed be done! 'Fantastic'

Oh. I must have just ignored/blocked his name out. Perfectly understandable thing to do.

Hahaha
Certainly is!

and i have no faith in kaladze but in the big match he does perform but we all know that his mistakes usually are the most deadly ones goals and penelties are conceded

Milan have extended their contract with Daniele till 2013.

Good, he isn't bad.

Agreed. he's a quality player to have as a backup.

Fixed.....hes good at Right back !!

I think he's a level below Milan's starting XI. that's why I think he's a quality player to have on bench.

he should be considered as CB more than RB imo

true

+1

AC Milan's Daniele Bonera completed each of his 44 passes tonight vs Palermo after replacing injured Thiago Silva.

Dare i magnify his second non-disastrous game in a row...

In a row? He aided Marchisio's first goal against Juve.

Yeah. Two games in a row would be a small miracle.

oops i forgot that game i meant the last 2 games i saw him play unsure which one though...

RUMOR: Rubin Kazan would be interested in Bonera. Milan values him in 4m

So would we, Rubin. So should we!

I would make Rubin my fav Russian team if they buy him.

Totally random thing (and utterly unimportant) but anyway - just crossed my mind that he may be our most misspelled guy. So far I remember:

-Boner
-Bonerra
-Bonnerra
-Bonnera

Boner

Well, yeah, I remember people spelling him like that without the funny connotation.
