Full Version: El Shaarawy
Discuss our new player here.
I personally didn't know anything about him as a player until some weeks ago. Correct me if I am wrong, but he has been our most expensive purchase so far, right? If someone can fill us in with the details of his transfer in this thread, I'd appreciate it.
Watch this:

He looks fast and with good composure in front of the goal. He has a similar way of placing shots like Kaka. I am personally looking forward to what he can do for us. What I personally like about him from what I saw in that video is that he doesn't look a timid player and that quality really counts in a big team like Milan.

Awesome music, even though I have heard it 20,000 times before. 
Pure sound!
Technically, if this guy clicks, I can somewhat agree with Galliani and Allegri that we are complete and set as a team and don't need anyone else.
Granted, less said about the current state of the midfield the better, but like I said, this is if (a very big, if at that) El Shaarawy clicks. It's a big test in a player's first year, not many have passed it.

El Shaarawy injury mystery
Football Italia
Awesome. Another player with "mysterious" injuries in Milan.
QUOTE
Milan will be without Mathieu Flamini, Philippe Mexes, Pippo Inzaghi or the mysteriously injured Stephan El Shaarawy for the Italian Super Cup.
The Rossoneri fly out to Beijing for the clash with Inter on August 6 and El Shaarawy was hoping to make his official debut.
“He had only one training session at Milanello and then had to stop,” explained Coach Massimiliano Allegri.
“Unfortunately, he won’t be coming to Beijing. Flamini won’t be there either, which is a shame, as he was one of the players in best shape.
“We have to calmly evaluate Inzaghi’s situation, while Mexes is certainly out. We’ll have the defender back at the end of September.”
The others have long-term injury issues, while Flamini picked up a muscular problem last week.
El Shaarawy was one of the big signings of the summer from Genoa and much was expected of ‘The Little Pharaoh,’ but he is yet to play in the Rossoneri jersey.
The Corriere dello Sport suggests the teenager is suffering from a knee inflammation, but information is scarce.

Why exactly is it mysterious? He had one training session and got injured, where's the mystery in that?

That's odd and mysterious. Get quite puzzled.
Anyone other than the bot know how to properly pronounce his name? I feel like I get it wrong ever time I read it, haha.

El Sharaawy's agent said that his asset is not taking part in any games lately because the Milan athletic stuff is trying to make him stronger physically by increasing his muscular mass. He also said that El Sharaawy will stay with us for sure.

Hopefully he doesn't get injured as often as Pato does due to a sudden increase in muscle mass.

They do growth program for all our scrawny players ... Pato did some as did Kaka when they both respectively arrived.
Problem is, it has lead to players getting frequent injuries, I hope he doesn't suffer the same fate.
oh so we've been feeding him pills, good to know.

QUOTE (Football Italia)
Pato hails El Shaarawy
Alexandre Pato has been left impressed by the ability of Milan new boy Stephan El Shaarawy. “He’ll be a better player than me!”
The attacking midfielder, who will only turn 19 in October, joined the Rossoneri this summer from Genoa in a co-ownership deal.
“I really want to play alongside him,” the Brazilian told Milan Channel. “He’s a boy who will do better than me – I’m sure of that.”
Pato may get his wish this weekend as an injury crisis means that the club’s attacking options against Napoli are limited.
Boss Massimiliano Allegri can only count on Pato, Antonio Cassano and El Shaarawy for the San Paolo showdown.
El Shaarawy, an Italian Under-19 international whose father is Egyptian, has only appeared in three Serie A games during his career.

Pato isn't really good at predictions, but everyone says El's got potential. I can't wait to see him in action. if he doesn't get a few minutes while Ibra and Binho are out and Cassano looks awful, I don't know when he can.

Nope. I like to think that everyone is fighting a hard enough war, a tough battle with life. I, on my part, should not be complicating it further by poking in. However, if a situation arises when I have to sleeve up and fight, or quarrel, argue with someone (for the right cause, not what I think it right, but what I know is right), then it's showtime!
It takes two to tango, but if I take care to not be one of it, then there is one less fight in this world. Besides, when to people are arguing on something, or fighting over a small thing, then truth usually lies somewhere in the middle. Both aren't necesserily right, but both aren't wront either. Anyway, if you hjave no control your emotions, then well there is little difference between you and other life forms - namely animals.
Come back, Mr. Pirate, I won't hurt you (much). I promise!

It could mean different here, and different in India.
Anyone got a link of his goal? I couldn't catch the game last night...
Cassano has 3 assists in 3 games so far, even when he's cr@p he's brilliant

El Shaarawy wants Milan for life
Stephan El Shaarawy has committed his career to Milan just a matter of months after arriving from Genoa.
The youngster, who will turn 19 on October 27, joined the Rossoneri in the summer on a co-ownership deal.
“If I have to be honest, I want to stay at Milan forever rather than one day playing my football abroad,” he told Leggo.
“At the end of the day I have always had a weakness for Milan, ever since I was a little boy,” added the Italian Under-19 international.
The attacking midfielder, who has an Italian mother and an Egyptian father, has been used sparingly so far by boss Massimiliano Allegri.
“I want to convince Allegri that I am a first team player,” he added. “I hope to play and score as much as possible, that is my objective.
“I want this Milan chance. Even if I don’t play that often, at least I will still have the opportunity to train with champions.”
El Shaarawy made his debut in the 3-1 loss at Napoli, before scoring in the 1-1 with Udinese three days later.

I like this kid.
Not to say he doesn't mean it, but we've heard it all before. Every fan has.
With robinho back to his horrible finishing, pato hurt as well and Cassano's well documented medical problem, I do believe the time is now for El Sharaawy to prove his Market value of 20M in the upcoming games. Here's hoping he steps up and gets involved in our buildup.
Shaarawy: "I see myself as a second striker, and so does Allegri. He helps me a lot and gives me plenty of advice."
So don't expect to see him as AM.

Good display of confidence and skill.
How do you guys rate his pace....initially before he came to Milan the articles said that he had Kaka-like pace or playing style or something...can't remember. I'm not a good judge of speed so I thought I'd ask the good ppl of Milanfan.com

I haven't seen him run in space too much but he definitely has a great first step.
Yeah, we haven't really seen him hit top gear, but he has a great touch as well as a decent shot from what I could see.
Wow,he looked great in that video!Seems like our much needed AM solution,don't know why he would want to play as a second striker,as he would have to sit behind 4 great attackers.(probably 5)I'd play him over Emmanuelson any day,though,he looks destined for greatness ;D
QUOTE
AC Milan youngster Stephan El Shaarawy is set for a loan spell in Germany with Koln as he looks for first-team opportunities, according to a report in Italy.
Sky Sport Italia claims that the German outfit are looking to take the former Padova attacker on a loan spell that will either last for six or 18 months.
The 19-year-old has found his path to the first team at San Siro blocked by the likes of Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Robinho and Alexandre Pato, while the likely arrival of Carlos Tevez will push the teenager even further down the pecking order.
Meanwhile, Koln have found themselves reliant on Lukas Podolski for goals this season and coach Stale Solbakken is eager for another striker to ease the scoring burden on the Germany international.
El Shaarawy has scored one goal in seven Serie A appearances for Milan this season.

Stephan El Shaarawy is prepared to stay at Milan despite a lack of playing time at San Siro so far this season.
The 19-year-old has been linked with a January exit given that he has made just eight League appearances since his summer switch from Genoa.
However, after appearing in last night’s 1-0 derby loss to Inter, the Italian youth international is prepared to be patient.
“A loan move did enter my thinking,” the attacking midfielder, who has an Egyptian father, commented.
“However, although I am not playing, I am improving by training alongside so many champions on a daily basis here.
“I’m being included in a lot of things and I am very happy at this club. I hope to stay here forever.”
The talented youngster, who spent last season on loan at Padova in Serie B, is actually part-owned by Genoa. He was linked with a Marassi return last week.
