its sad that he went to tottenham and not ManU.

 

Most indications say that Milan is due for a revamp after this season. At this point, who should stay and who should go?

Retiring: Maldini, Favalli

Go: Dida, Kalac, Kaladze, Nesta, Senderos, Emerson, Seedorf, Beckham (he has done well, but I'd rather get Gourcuff back), Sheva

Stay: Abbiati, Antonini, Bonera, Zambrotta, Pirlo, Gattuso, Kaka, Pato, Ronaldinho, Borriello, Cardaccio, Inzaghi

Question Marks: Jankulovski, Flamini (does he really fit in here?), Ambrosini

Thoughts? Can Milan do what needs to be done and jettison some of the dead weight that has accumulated over the past few seasons, or will they continue to be the retirement home of Serie A?

 

I can't see Kaka sticking around for another UEFA Cup run.

 

lmao Well maybe. I'm sure he'd love to play behind Mutu and a bona fide top scoring threat ala Gilardino.

 

Hoppefully we can get a world class center back, preferablly from the Serie A because I certainly wouldnt want a young Thiago Silva and another center back (Agger) or who ever, who dont have any experince playing to flight Italian football. Santacroce would be my preference.

 

agger is probably a lot better then santacroce though. i have been hearing santacroce is having trouble breaking the starting 11 for napoli. i mean it could be our chance to jump in and grab one of italys most promising defenders....but as a starter i think agger is better

zambrotta/felipe---thiago silva/bonera---agger/senderos---antonini/jankulovski


i think that would be a good step in the right direction. i would also send darmian on loan. move strasser up to the first team. bring back abate, paloschi, di gennaro, and gourcuff...we will also have viudez who i think could turn out to be a decent player after his showings in the u20 south american cup. and we also have cardacio who will probably never see the field...

we gotta give some of the young guys a chance. look at davide santon, goes from a youth team player to the starting 11 after a very impressive coppa italia game against roma and consistant performances after that as well.

 

...

 

Well, look at the bright side - we will probably sign a 34-year old midfielder to help us find the right balance

 

...

 

it's no news that bordeaux have the option to purchase him

 

hurray...Becks to lead us to the serie a title next season...

 

...

 

Yeah neither can I.

So now management after not wanting to spend to get better have gotten so bad that they are talking about shedding some of their most prized assets.

Years ago I posted something to the effect of if management keeps up the trend of not holding on to players faaar after their prime and not replacing them with quality youngsters we'd end up in this situation.

Freakin foolish management try and take the easy/cheap way out 9 outta 10 times and get burned about 85% of time.

The fact that were talking about even the possibility of us playing in UEFA Cup (or whatever it'll be called next year) just shows you have far we've dropped in a very short period of time.

Managements arrogant, stingy, penny pinching ways and their lack of foresight has damaged this reputation of this club and has made it a beating stick for teams that we used to crush by the end of the first half of games.

I just wonder how far they will let this team sink before they either start spending money to get the correct players or sell the club.

 

Kaka won't leave until he is atleast 30.

 

I would be fine with this:

Milan targeting £35m swoop for Evans and Vidic?

 

He always said when his goals and managements aren't on the same page he'd leave.

If we don't build a team around that him that can start winning he'll leave.

This is the second year we will go trophyless. He'll hang around next year to play CL with us, but if we don't win at least one next that don't be so sure that he'll stick around.

 

haha. that one is hilarious for multiple reasons.

it presumes that we will actually spend that much.

and then it assumes that ferguson will actually part with two of his defenders for what has literally become peanut money in the EPL.

 

I'm quite sure managments goals are to win.

I wouldn't worry too much. Milan are just a couple defenders away from being a good team again. Kaka isn't the smartest guy around but I'm sure even he can see that. Milan are miles ahead of City anyway so going there would make no sense. It'll take City atleast five years to win a league title.

 

you're a fool if you think city is the club that kaka would leave for.

 

he was never gonna go to city. if he leaves, he would go to madrid or chelsea.

 

Intresting news, its being reported that Milan are set for a "Made in Milanello" era.
Paloschi, Di Gennaro and Abate are apparently confirmed to be with the first team next season.

Davide Astori who can play as a CB or a Terzino Sinistro, and Luca Antonelli could also be recalled.

While Marchetti is going to be purchased.

And some names on our shopping list include, Agger, Lucio, Evans, Kuzimanovic, Thiago Motta and Adebayor.

Ofcourse, this is just news. Who knows what will happen.
Personally, I wouldn't recall Paloschi yet, he should be loaned to a Serie A club.
Nor do I think we should buy Kuzimanovic, Adebayor.
