Well tbf his time there was pretty productive, yet he got shafted entirely.
Players are human, if they get treated poorly they have a right to say so.
In all honesty a lot of folk are criticising Madrid and their vulgar disrespect for money. They're becoming an unpopular team.

As for KJH, I think he's a great signing. Maybe not a Hollywood heavyweight signing, but his goal record is utterly fantastic and I think he'll complement Pato perfectly.
Good signing, positive sign.

why did he have to take number 11? That number is cursed

Isn't 17 a fobidden number in Italy? Don't they concider it an extremely unlucky number and that's why most players never play with it in Italy? Or am I confusing it with a different number?

Bad enough that he was benched for the opening game, even worse that it was Borriello starting
again to waste yet more opportunities and generally be useless, but even worse still that the experienced Pippo was benched as well.
So much to moan about, so many mistakes

He better start the next game. I hope Leo realises that borriello has no business in the starting lineup, he's an absoloute joke of a striker. A striker who doesn't score

and here I thought we got rid of our gilaflop problem once and for all.

Well our management would say he's 'sacrificing' himself for the team. Bring others into play. To be fair, it worked in the first match, our goals had something to do with Pato-R80-Marco triangles.

IMO only the 1st goal. the second goal was like this: Dinho > Flamini > Pato.

Boriello held it up for Dinho before he made that pass.
I'm not Bori's biggest fan, but I do think that he helped our game against Siena and he was invloved in the buildup play a lot and was playing the target man role to perfection imo, with his back to goal. Against Inter I'm not going to get into it as everyone was utter cr@p.
I think if he managed to get some scoring form back he would be more then useful last season when he was coming back from the loan before he got injured he was more then impressive, his workrate was amazing and he scored 2 great goals in about 3 or 4 games IIRC. And lets face it putting him down isn't going to help anyone, we need him to start playing well again because we could use all the help we could get.
Huntelaar and him are 2 different players and I hope Leo uses both in the right situations and we try to get the best out of both of them

Actually the great thing about Marco, is he can be used in a combination including any of our strikers. And theoretically at least on his own. I always felt Milan have lacked a target man in the last 3 years or so, and I think this guy could be useful.

I'm pretty sure it won't. We all just feel that way coz he's still on 0. Once he breaks the duck scores a couple...we'll expect that level throughout.
I'm not changing my idea though. He needs to score 15 goals. Why keep a striker who can't bang them in, when we've already got Borriello to graft.

How many goals do you realistically expect Borriello to bang in provided he stays fit and starts every match? 10+ (without penalties)? I agree that I am a bit pessimistic but..

My point exactly. I see no need for one more striker who can stay and 'sacrifice himself for the team'. We bought in Huntelaar to score goals...and he needs to. Pronto!
He can't fall on the Borriello bandwagon of 'enabling others to play'.
For starters I think he should be more mobile...he's a bit too static for my liking. But that's just me seeing him from isolated bits of play.
Of course it's early days, but I think Huntelaar's performance pre-December will have a huge say in whether we will comfortably finish in the top standings or struggle again.

Oddo/kaladze/dida get 77k a week and no matter how sh*tty they are we have to play them otherwise were burning cash for nothing.
We have a stupid useless president who insists on not spending because he's the prime minister of Italy
