Gattuso, Yepes, Strasser and Merkel don't matter much. Hopefully Ibra's ban gets reduced to two games, so we can field a fully fit line-up against Juve.

Any idea when we'll know the result of the appeal?

Nope. It should be after this weekend, I assume. Probably Monday or Tuesday.

We'll get a response from the federate on 23 February.

Cheers for the info.

Fingers crossed

I'd rather Ibra not playing vs Juve,he always gets bullied.

I think what he meant to say is that we'd play into their hands with Ibra. Because we all know what will happen. We'll most likely congest the center and Ibra will completely get crowded out.

I think a Pato, Robinho partnership is more likely to work against Juve rather than one involving Ibra, because without Ibra the team is forced to play in a different way. With Ibra they tend to get lazy and only look for him to create something

Aquilani's agent: "Aquilani will become a Milan player permanently, once he has played 25 matches for them, as written in the contract. Aquilani is recovering well, and I hope that he can return to playing again in mid-March."

Aquilani has featured in 20 matches for Milan in all competitions so far (15 Serie A, 5 CL).

MID MARCH?!good thing we have muntari and stuff...

Now it's mid-March? This is getting more ridiculous by the day.

Aquilani, so far, has collected 22.5 presences for Milan in light of the contract stipulated with Liverpool about his signing. The player must reach the quota of 25 appearances in order for Milan to be obligated to sign the player. In those games where he came from the bench, the presence amounts to 0.5. Thus, two games as starter and one from the bench would be enough for him to be considered a Milan player.

Is this the reason Allegry doesn't play him? are we becoming that cheap that we dont want to pay 6millions to sign him?

I highly doubt that's the case.

I don't think we handled this one well. He could have become very useful this year. Move please.
