Well I don't get your opinion either. Flamini played more then 60 matches for Milan, and I can count you on my fingers how many of them were actually something good. All our DM make more superb or great matches pro season.

He's younger (although soon to be 27), granted. He's been left out, granted. But I don't see the spark in this guy. He's actually doing nothing. Rino runs like a madman, and that costed us yesterday, but it saved our butt more then once. Ambro can do defending and can score, he's up there fighting and he's a real footballer. What has Flamini done to desreve your infinitive patience and trust han? Was he so good 4 years ago that he still has credit?

You speak as if he played such a big role this season before his injury. Well yes, he was great in a few occasions, but that's about it. Yes, he was better then Rino or Ambro, but hey, the injured and washed-out senators are hardly competition.

It's not that I expect him to make tons of assists and play like a allrounder or something; tell me is he in his own department really that good? Is he a real destructive DM?

Seems like I'm the only one here but I think Flamini played OK last night (aside from that horrendous challenge and some unnecessary fouls).

Why don't you just say that you don't like him and never really wanted him at Miln and sav ourselves the time it would take for me to try to point out reasons of why I believe he's good, andyou countering it with why you believe he's bad, when the real crux of the matter is that you just never were really a fan or even tolerated him

He was disliked because Wenger used him at LB and he was always going to be useless there with the limited skills he has. They sure loved him in his last season there.

Why? Because it would be a lie! I liked Flamini very much and never had a predetermined judgment on him. Why play so personal now? I really don't think you're able to say what you did in your last sentence!

I only dislike when people put too much hype around someone. That's why I was very cautious with him, after I saw Domenech, Ancelotti, Leonardo and finally Blanc and Allegri passed by him.

I'd be as much happy as if Pippo would come back and score tons of goals if Flamini would finally return into his Arsenal form. But hey, 4 years passed, and I think if he was that kind of a big talent, he would have shown his skill, even against all other odds (injuries, coaches,...).

Sorry if I wasted your time once more.

Oh, so someone makes a harsh tackle and is suddenly the black sheep? Flamini's performance was on par with the others. Just because he made some foul doesn't mean he's a disgrace . This is football, rough interventions are part of it.

i think flamini might've been fired up for the tackle cause just seconds eariler ibra was brought down n foul was not given.

Sorry if you got offended by that but I just had to say it because I know how this will go, we'll go back and forth when we both know that (I won't say like) I trust the player, while you don't trust him over others.

Alo mentioning Carlo and Domenech in that sentence is a flawed argument, Domenech had an agenda against players who played in Italy, it's why Mexes rarely got a call under him as well. Carlo loved the old gaurd of Rino and Ambro and would have never benched either of them for the new comer. Leo usually used 1 DM and last season Ambro was not someone he would have benched because he was in probably the best form of his career. When he needed another DM on Flamini was the one on. Allegri has played Flamini when he's fit most of the time, I wouldn't say that he's passed him by.

Again sorry if I offended you, I usually get the same stick when I don't kiss Ambo's @ss, because I never really liked him as a player or rated him so it seems like my argument isn't even valid, and when you talk about Flamini it just seems that way as well

I've seen Fillippo criticize players like Flamini, Boateng and Robinho this season, and at the same time praise corpses like Oddo, Gattuso and Ambrosini. Sorry man, I have nothing against you, but I think most of the time it's just your feelings talking.

Well, that's mostly because Abate, Flamini and Boateng are in fact better than Oddo, Gattuso and Ambrosini nowadays. I know you'll disagree, but I'm sure most of us will concur about that.

When will we play the Bayern game?

Suffered a muscular injury, will be out for 15 days and thus miss the derby.

July 26

I'd rather see Gattuso on the field than him.

That means Gattuso starting on the right

I'd rather see Gattuso on the field than him.

I think Gattuso would have started either way.

Flamini at this point is simply put the better player.

Flamini out for 5 months.

Don't remind me of our old midfield. We have four players over 33! Man, how annoying is that!!

Well, never then less...it's how it is.

Yes, we should give them all another extension to keep it that way

Really a shame he gets an injury like that, because I expected him to be obvious better than both Ambrosini and Gattuso this season. And I would be pleased with a new midfielder even it's a so called mediocre one. We simply lack midfielders now in my opinion. Ideally we sign one who has the potential to become a future starter.

I don't see a lot of those types lieing around...

I read a rumour about Leroy Fer yesterday. He's 21 year old midfielder from Feyenoord, and I rate his potential highly. For now he would be nothing more than a backup, like Strasser would have been if he stayed, but since Strasser got loaned out, Flamini got long term injured, Calvano also injured now, and Merkel also not here (though no defensive midfielder, yet a midfielder too), I would like Milan signing Fer. Feyenoord don't wanna sell him - he's very important to them - but they have to when offered just a few millions (which is little for Fer, but much for Feyenoord).

I don't think we need a new DM to cover Flamini's absence. We simply sign Kaka' and retreat Boateng to that position. It's the most ideal solution.

Yeah read that as well, but I don't think our management are that creative, he's not the type of player we usually go after.

That's why I have my hopes on Monto coming now or in January.

We'll see, but atm, I don't get how Galliani and Allegri can say that our transfer market is closed. What happened to those Honda rumours? I know you rate him highly, I personally think he'd be a good squad player at this point since we're so short in midfield and the Kaka thing is looking like media talk more then anything else

I would welcome a CM instead of a DM too. We need to add a midfielder, and I believe Honda would be a very good addiction since he can cover both AM and LCM, and will increase creativity in our squad. If we don't sign Kaká, I hope Milan goes for Honda, but I think he would be expensive to sign this Summer. CSKA rather sell him in January, I figure. And shame is, we need a new midfielder now, January is too late in my book. I read a rumour we have a verbal agreement with Montolivo to join next Summer. Which is nice, because now we already have a free replacement for Seedorf then, yet I would liked him now already, or now someone else instead eh...

But won't he be cup-tied?
