Dida is still ours .

.

That means no Buffon

Dida you funny man

FORZA DIDA

Well that doesn't neccesarily mean that Dida will stay with us. That just means that now if he goes we get some money from his transfer. But I wouldn't mind if he stays .

I wouldn't mind too. But I prefer Buffon. Did you see his World Cup performances ? Flying left and right. The best goal keeper in the world.

Buffon is good but he's too expensive. I rather keep dida and spend the money on a more needed position.

Thank god.

This is good news
I guess no more talking about our new goalkeeper and no more Buffon
Maybe now that Dida has signed a new contract he will not make errors again as now has one less thing to worry about

This is not bad!

Could it be linked to R20!?


His place is safe now... which is not good.

Interesting. Which means we weren't interested in splitting our budget to accomodate for a goalkeeper. Maybe R7's right. Maybe Dinho is coming. Especially after Barca's performances.

But would have been exciting to go hunting for a GK though. I was hoping we could steal Casillas, while those guys are trying to tap up Kaka.

if Buffon isn't coming, it means that Ronaldinho is closer to us

His place is never safe. Not with Super Spider on the prowl.

Finally

if we lost against celtic
there is noooooo way he would have extended his contract....

Not a big surprise for me...anyway...FORZA DIDA!!!!

As much as I like Dida this is terrible news IMO. Dida is already 34 and is past his prime, him leaving would have benefitted both parties. If we get Amelia, Buffon or Gomes as well then it will be a good deal, otherwise this just shows a total lack of ambition...

The contract doesn't even mean that he will surely stay imo, he might have just signed out of respect for the club so as not to lose him on a free transfer.

Anyway, I think it's good news, saves us a headache from trying to get a goalkeeper in the summer when we have much more problemetic areas imo. We'll worry about buying a good goalkeeper when Dida really has nothing more to give, but right now I think he's fine

Don't quite get you. Those three names u mentioned would never agree to be second choice. Gomes I don't know...Brazillian players usually know their place. Besides if you see Amelia play sometimes you wouldn't blame howlers as only the property of Dida.

I don't agree with the prime thing. Goal keepers have a much higher shelf life. Look at Lehmann. He is still considered in the top 10 of the world's goalkeepers. (Below Dida I might add).

Thirdly, I worry you might be judging Dida over one bad match. His class and solidity can't really be questioned.

He might not be as quick as Gigi, but he can certainly save penalties hell of a lot better. Gigi, Buffon and Cech are generally accepted as the holy trinity in the world goal keeping fraternity.

So it's a good thing Dida is staying. In fact if we were to choose to sell him, we could easily command a 10+ million tag. Which we might do next season, irrespective of whether R10 comes or not.

I meant Dida would be second choice.

And Buffon or Gomes would be the equivalent of an extra 8 points over a season IMO

Dida would definately not accept to be 2nd choice.

The only persons who might contest Dida's position for first choice in a team are Cech and Buffon. Since we're not getting them...I guess Dida is numero uno.

Dida's can give a couple of more years to Milan, before he goes back I guess to Corinithians.

JOKER DIDA!!

FORZA DIDA!!!!

FORZA MILAN!!!!!!!!!

Its with mixed feelings I receive these news (that sounded so retarded, I know).
I really like Dida, but as he's getting older, he's getting slower, and his stength have always been his reflexes.
I really love the current squad, but lets face it:
For each passing year, the team gets older, and our star players are already past their prime.
We need refreshments, but its like we don't want to change, and cling on the hope of some sort of rennaisance.

DIDA DIDA

YES, VERY NICE!!

FORZA DIDA

I dunno. On one side I'm happy Dida signed, on the other I think his prime has passed and we should have looked for someone to replace him. Still it's good news. It will stop him having second thoughts about the contract and concentrate only on the match.

dida still has some good years left in him

i'd rather keep him and grab dinho than get buffon and lose out on dinho

For a minute there I thought u were talking about Arsenal again

I agree 100%... though I think this team has still something to give! And even if it holds us back (which is not entirely true) I'd rather see Paolo take his time!

You said it, brother.

Yes save money and then buy buffon or amelia later

A piece of bad news imo. When are we going to stop cligning to dead woods? We extended Seedork's contract. And now Dida. It is this sort of behavior that landed the team in this situation. We almost an ancient team, with 100 yr olds.

Surprisingly, we are the most consistent team in Europe .. And ancient too

that dead wood has climbed back into a fight for CL qualification from a -8 point deduction and has made it past barca, arsenal (a young team), inter, and lyon in the CL.

How? Other teams did that dirty work in eliminating them, we didn't.

i think this means nesta is next to extend his contract!

No but this team proved how it can be so consistent while other teams (favourites) for the CL were knocked out in the round of 16.


p.s. .. Milan is Milan, wether it is old or new; this team will always be 2nd to none

I hate Dida and i hope Milan Buy Buffon

How can you hate someone you don't even know? Relax and take a few deep breaths.

We don't need buffon, he can stay at juve. Dida imo is good enough to last us a few seasons. Eventhough he is no longer top 5 best goal keeprs, he is still pretty damn good. It's much better that we fill up maldini's gap soon, rather than someone who is still eligible to play.

My top 5 goal keeprs:
Cech (pretty damn good)
Buffon (so good)
Casillas (for his sh!tty team and his sh!tty defence he preforms good)
Coupet
Landreau (very underrated)
