What has Pippo done... he's a ~37yo striker and yet people cannot talk with certainty about this retirement date!

Do you think it should be a public debate?

Allegri is free

+1 to armiss! You found the story faster than anyone!

Mediaset's version of the story is that Galliani and Cellino had a phone conversation and Galliani was firm in the fact that Milan wasn't going to pay any 2 million euros for Allegri (as Cellino had wanted). Cellino has now - according to the story - given the okay for Allegri to go free of charge. (I suspect Cagliari will get Legati and Astori at good prices in return but we'll see).

I'm not sure what you mean but just for the record, I wasn't necessarily being critical of Pippo.

So Allegri to be announced soon?

huh i just read galliani is ready to give up an seconds later ALLEGRI IS FREE

ive seen it all

i like the cookies so much

i really want a bite

True, who knows how long Pippo will be around. That seems to me what the plan is though. Paloshchi seems like a natural heir to Pippo, so it would only make sense IMO.



FINALLY! We can get a coach in place and start doing work.

Allegri is officially free from Cagliari. Here's a link to the official note on the Cagliari website: link

do u guys think lazzari is free for us now also?

lets go

We are interested in Brescia's Lorenzo Tassi. Supposedly the new Baggio. 15 years old he is.

We should have let go of Inzaghi and Huntelaar this summer and signed Dzeko and Paloschi.

+1

It isn't always that simple. Just two years ago it was - we should let go of Ricardo Oliveira and get Huntelaar.

you flying over to manchester for a bite at greggs bakery oh my

Milannews.it says were in the poll for Ameila

Please no.

I would cry.

Yup. Storari to Juventus for 5m and we get Amelia on loan.

I bet your person squeals when she sees Amelia!

Come on, he's a good goalie. IMO better than Storari.

No, my person does this when she sees Amelia:




Because Storari is an awful lot better. Amelia isn't even good enough these days to suck not-locke's-donkey-balls.

Maybe we could use Amelia in the deal for Marchetti.

He'll be Abbiati's replacement anyway.

5m for Storari is a solid deal, but I was hoping we'd use it for a Marchetti, Alves, Sirigu type guy. Amelia was kind of a surprise to me....

Seems to complicated anyway. Why not use Storari to get Marchetti?

Anway, Amelia is 28, Storari 33 - and both would eventually be reserves.

Because Storari is too good for Cagliari.

Why would Storari be a reserve? Because he played a better season than Abbiati? Oh, that makes sense.

Because Storari is 33 years old and yes he had a good season, but Abbiati is Milans no. 1; IMO both had good seasons, only differnece is Abbiati has more experience and more good matches in his legs.

Actually, Abbiati barely played a few games this season (although he did good enough in them), so you can't really compare their seasons. But I agree, if I'd choose between Storari and Abbiati, I'd choose the latter.

That is NOT the only difference. There is another difference, namely that Storari out shined Abbiati with ease this season. Storari possible best Serie A goalkeeper of the season, Storari was this season an option for Azzurri squad (before AND after his injury, at Milan AND at Sampdoria). Abbiati not even close to any of these...

Abbiati was on the other hand mostly injured. So, should we base the decision on one season? I mean, if you judge the matter based on just one season Matri is better then Pato because he scored more while the letter was recouperating.

Abbiati played games and he made mistakes, Storari was obviously better. While Pato showed when fit he can score goals better (not as in that someone scored more in a season, I'm not talking about silly stats here, I'm talking about preforming) than any of our other forwards + Matri.

Storari's hell of a season gets no reward it looks like (so sick and undeserved). If Storari really gets benched, then sell him FFS and sign D.Alves or Marchetti.

Anyway, question stays: should we base everything on just one season in which Abbati did not have many chances to play?

If Abiatti can regain form sure, but atm Storari is the man in form, I wouldn't mind if we kept him. Especially if Ameila is his replacement, who has also been a little out of form.

I thought Abbiati was great in the 08/09 season, and had he not been injured, Storari and Dida would have never got the chance to show themselves. It's like Dracoris says, if Abbiati has regained his form, he's a sure starter.

am i the only one to think that marchetti is overatted??? i would take sirigu/alves/viviano/felipe (corinthians)(!!!) before marchetti

Yes, if it's the last season then it's a yes, at this moment there is no reason not to start Storari. Good possibility he will continue doing what he did this season and then it's an obviously good choice to start him. If he suddenly drops form? Okay, THEN you can replace him for Abbiati, but at this moment there is no reason not to start him. Storari showed form for (almost) a whole season and Abbiati didn't.

Would you suddenly bench someone when he's in form?

I'll take anyone on that list lol. I just don't get a good feeling from Amelia. Who knows, Amelia isnt a done deal yet, gotta see him holding up the jersey first.

I would choose D.Alves over Marchetti also. Have we been linked to any of the others you mentioned?

No. But when it comes to keepers I do think changes are not that welcome.

Then we should keep Dida because he and NOT Abbiati was our first goalkeeper at the end of the season. Storari or Abbiati, in both case first goalkeeper will be changed (from Dida to ...)

or maybe Sebastiano Rossi.
Okay we can go on and on that way. Your point is Storari had an awsome season and you would start with him at Milan.

My point is Abbiati is a better keeper all included and did nothing so big to loose his first-team status (while Dida every little while proved he's not the keeper he once was).

Krisitic in Serbia is playing good, what happend to him
+ Edin Dzeko

you mean Krasic?

no he meant Matija Kristic, the 31yo croatian cb/lb who plays for Luch-Energiya......

*sarcasm alert*

SHE meant Krasic.

Post of the day!

50 mln euro + Ibra = Pato
This is what we want for Pato.
