Dida And Kalac Are Our Keepers Next Year – Galliani

Milan Vice President Adriano Galliani has stated that Nelson Dida and Zeljko Kalac will still be the club’s goalkeepers next season.

The Rossoneri have been heavily linked with a host of shot-stoppers in recent weeks following an error-prone campaign from Dida.

The Brazilian has been guilty of making a number of gaffes, most recently in the Milan derby before Christmas when he allowed Esteban Cambiasso to score the winner.

Number two ‘keeper Zeljko Kalac has also looked nervous when he has filled in for Dida, however the giant Australian was in brilliant form yesterday during the 1-0 win at Udinese, pulling off a string of stunning saves.

"Dida and Kalac will still be the goalkeepers of Milan next year, Galliani is quoted in the Corriere dello Sport.

“We are not looking for anyone else.”

Milan had been expected to sell both Dida and Kalac at the end of the season, with Sebastien Frey, Artur Boruc, Gomes, and Marco Amelia linked as possible replacements.

Not contending for the championship is cheap and easy right Galliani??

I for one, have stopped watching Milan games. And I won't buy their products and go to their games until some good signings are made. I'm sure this is gonna affect ticket sales.

To Galliani, with all my love ->

can some one plz give me a gun? i want do kill myself

are you such an insecure person that you cant even stand changes with the football team you watch? that or you want to see milan fail. take ur pick.

whats there to say? in all my life i've never said this but for once inter is being managed much better than milan. it's amazing that it's coming to this.

This is just getting stupid now. Winning the European Cup again this year will be the worst thing this club can do.

Finishing 5th and not winning the CL is the only way this club will wake up and realise the obvious. Otherwise they'll continue to stick with a clown goalkeeper and continue to say they don't need new players as the ones they already have are good enough to be "European Champions".

Guys, relax! This is Galliani talking... I don't believe a word he speaks. And of course he wouldn't say that Dida is going to be replaced and make him even more insecure... Then again, don't be surprised if we don't get a new goalie...


Sad bad true... if we win we won't buy and for the sake of Milan's future it'd be better if we didn't...

Don't worry, we can't win the CL this year.

Yes we can. But why do you say so?

Kalac is OK as a 2nd keeper, but Dida must go

im one of those who defend dida...he's our man, he has to stay...everybody has a bad period, maybe his is a lit to long, but he has a great character in my opinion...it's hard cause gk mistakes are the most expellable...every kepper make mistakes, look at english one

I feel we can't go all the way to Moscow...

Dont get that serious what he talks!!!!!!!

We will sign a GK during the summer.

So we have to learn to live with Dida's blunders because England doesn't have a single world-class goalie!??

hehe, no...but we have to step in dida's defence...he didn't have as much errors this year as last year, sure that against inter was big but what happend happend, i think he can still do big things in milan...u saw how good kalac saved yesterday, so if he's dida sub than...sure i would like to see a new gk, but has to be young so dida can have affect on him...maybe toldo-j.cesar can be an example to watch...

Man, I love Dida. He has had great games with us and we have won 2 CL's and a Scudetto with him as a goalie. I respect him a lot. But he has to respect the team as well. He is now way too inconsistent for this level and if he cares for this team he should step down. I'm not saying Milan should kick him out just like that but a new first keeper is a must-get in my view.

The English one? Carson? He's made one mistake this season. Even Cech made two big mistakes that lead to goals this season. But Dida? It's been 2 or 3 years of constant mistakes, it's not good enough, not even close.

true, but media is kepping it to harsh on him, so is a lot of people here...as i was saying time ago...buying a new young bet good kepper(not average), like akinfeev(my strongest wish) or curci(maybe he has a bit to much to learn), handanovic has grown in a good kepper,or someone else, but he would have to be a sub for dida for at least half season in my opinion...for his own good

and yes carson had one, but how big one !! (and this doesn't even matter)

doesnt matter when and which games he's allowed them.

compared to last year dida hasnt made as many blunders? thats cuz the season isnt over
we havent started the knockout stage yet.

didas made at least 8 blunders this year

if he continues at that rate it's almost a blunder every 3-4 games... thats too much for a club like milan. Gkers for any big club will give away 2-3 bad ones per year max if any.

and how many amazing saves has he made this year? he's made some good ones but look at any goalkeepr and he'll make some here and there.

the guy is 34 for fucks sake, 35 by next season you think he's suddenyl gonna become good?

international football is a completely different matter anyways.

carson made one huge blunder for england which has little or no impact on villa. besides he plays for villa @kurt we're talking about the keeper for milan here. i couldnt care less if dida was shite for brazil, just as lapalma doesnt really care about lehmann's form for arsenal cuz he gets it done for germany.

besides i dont think villa would even want dida if they had the chance.

oh and i'm with ya on akinfeev. after him i'd go for for amelia cuz he would be easier to get over curci.

I'd rather play our #3 keeper every game than have Dida.

I'm hoping that Milan have started looking for a new keeper, even if they're keeping Dida next season. They need to make sure they get the GK position right, there's no other position more important!

I share ur opinion. I mean, a Gkeeper's mistake(s) is put under the microscope, unlike other players on the field. Still, he has lost his way and has cost us from time to time. Just like Gilardino cost us by not scoring. Then again, Gilardino's misfiring is overlooked and being attributed to 'bad luck' while Did's mistakes are attributed to him not being good enough

Don't worry buddy, he'll be at Milan for a while to come

I couldn't agree with you more.

After Dida's mistake cost us CL elimination I'll see his devoted defenders...

i think we cant judge goalkeepers every game , they arent robots they arent going to play 100% every game although we would love them to

I share your oppinion too

Yeah , you can blame sheva too for not scoring in the CL final against Liverpool in the dying minute. he had 2 great opportunities in 3 seconds and missed them all at 1 meter from the goal. I bet even Gila would have scored those

THAT cost us the CL final , but you didnt see any of the fans blame him. Why ? because the man won us many cups before and he has done a lot for Milan. Same goes for Dida.

So if you wanna blame a player , dont just blame the ones you dont like.

First of all, what makes you think I don't like Dida? I like him as a person, much more than Ronaldo for example. but like many other Milan fans, I think his time at Milan has come to an end. the best team in the world deserves the best keeper in the world, or at least a consistent keeper. Dida is neither.

And who in the world has said Sheva's missed opportunities cost us CL final? I would never say that because that's ridiculous. losing the Istanbul final was EVERYONE'S mistake and the whole team were to blame for that. [not to mention it started with Dida's mistake on Liverpool's first goal... ].


I just wonder how immoderate some of you are in defending Dida. yes, he has done a lot for this club, god bless him! but he has made countless mistakes in the past two/three seasons, some of them have cost us badly. problems is that you don't feel safe with Dida in goal, you fear of another blunder anytime, he can ruin a whole team's effort in just one second [as he has done this many times - the most recent of them being the derby]. that's the worst thing about Dida and that's why many, including me, want him out. I'm sure another big mistake and he will be shown the exit door at the end of the season...

It always goes back to Gila. Gila missing a couple of chances did not cost us what Dida's mistakes have cost us in the past. At some points when Dida made blunders Gila wasn't even on the field!!! So how can you seriously say it's his fault?!!

And as a lot have said, I can't see how some here (not saying just you) still see it fit to criticise Gila for the fact that we have been sh!t this season when the blame should go to the entire team



Truer words have never been said. Had Kaka not been having one of his magical days, we would have been out of the semi final last season since 2 of the goals Man U scored in Old Trafford were mainly his fault.

And It's not that we hate Dida, it's the fact that we've had enough of his mistakes, mistakes that are costing the club dearly

overlooked? the only one overlooking anything, is you overlooking dida's repertoire of "paperas".

i mean it's taken you over a year and half to admit maybe inter is a little better than us, and that was only after the recent derby

ur being so bias it's ridiculous.

And what did I say wrong now ?

I merely used Gilardino as an example.

What would u like me to say ? Dida is a shity Gkeeper ? Okay, he's a shity Gkeeper. So what now ? Are they gonna listen to us and get rid of him

It's the fact that you only mention Gila when this season it has been the entire team’s fault that we have done so badly. And Dida has been a much bigger culprit then Gila has ever been

Dida's mistake are magnified, yes, because when he makes mistakes it costs us games. As for Gila, thank God we have a striker who can score. Imagine having to rely on Pippo and Ronaldo to get us goals? Serie B here we come.

But as we all know, it doesn't matter how many we score, Dida will still manage to f*ck it up. How else did Liverpool beat us in '05?

So now I cant have an opinion that differs to urs ?

there we go that wasnt hard now was it?

Awwwww, you're playing nice together. The fish doll might just give you all cookies.

He is not a shitty keeper. He's still great but he consistently has concentration/confidence problems which means he can't play at this level anymore. We need a new keeper there is no doubt about that. If we don't get a new one then we are simply doing Dida a favor... and gifting ourselves another season of insecurity and defense problems.

hm...well i'm sure it wasn't his fault...but that is not important now, me and dst already agreed that we need a new gk, it only my opinion that it cant be a right-away change...it takes time for a player to get in the team(to adopt) and gk is a tricky position...as we all now we are going to buy more players this summer as we did last 5 together, it could lead us to catastrophy(u know what was happening with inter and real when they added 6 new players to their squad)...a new gk, 2 new defenders...i mean, it could be good, but its more reliable that is going to be baaad...

You know I've thinking along those lines for sometime now. That's why whenever we lose these days, I kind of always take solace in " well at least that's the only way they will do something".
