AC Milan Thread [2010/2011]

What?! Why do you think Sampdoria (better said: Garrone) wants to rescind his contract? He verbally abused Sampdoria's president, the guy that's paying his salary! However talented he is, he'll always carry his irresponsible personality with him.

I agree, but he's not so crazy now as he was back in his Roma days. Also there's Gattuso.

 

[Xifio]

I believe it will. Milan love to have Italian players in the mix too and Cassano is perfect. IMO this guy should be on another level if he comes to Milan, finally a good chance in a top club, the hunger is definitely there in him, the talent too, and IMO he's perfectly mature and ready to give his best.

I believe the possibilities are endless ... hope the fates agree ...

it's like if you hear someone wanting a divorce after a first public spat with their spouse ... if Garrone is that sensitive, so be it ...

fyi, the spat was over Cassano wanting to stay with his pregnant wife and not go to some minor ceremonial/award event that the club needed him to ... Tonio has apologized and has buried the hatchet for his part ...

you're right that Cassano's fiery temper and tendency to speak his mind in the heat of the moment has not changed and will not ... but truly intelligent managers can tailor player management and team chemistry to suit each case; but there's no substitute for talent (and I mean this in all aspects of life), and Fantantonio is magic ...

Xifio, you must be creaming over the prospect of both Zlatan and Cassano in the same team

Is Milan's attack really the area they should be improving? How about a central mid under 35?

 

[Ulysses]

zlatan and cassano will fight most probably. Why do you bring Cassano ? Ronaldinho and Robinho both suck it's true, but you have Pato !

If worst comes to worst, better to have Cassano on your bench than Cassano dominating for another team

really can't see why Milan are still bringing offensive players.

And what do you call Boateng? He's the second best player for Milan this season. IMO until Seedorf or Gattuso leave Milan we don't need anyone in the middle.

Robinho maybe does suck as a player but he's giving his all for Milan, i'm glad that he's a Milan player.

really can't see why Milan are still bringing offensive players.

We have Ibra, Pato and Robinho,
Inzaghi is injured and Ronaldinho cannot play in attack as much as Pato and Binho can, and in the AM position Boateng and even Seedorf are ahead of him, so he's practically out of the picture. We do not have enough players up front, you might have a point if you mean do we need player of such calibre to be subs though. We would be better of with a Santa Cruz or someone in terms of stability in team but if we want to win, Cassano is perfect!

 

[Mus]

Cassano is alot better than pato, robinho, dinho or seedorf, He won't be on the bench it will be out of them 4

You're joking right ? I'll take Pato over Cassano anytime.

if they were splashing big cash, you'd have to wonder ... but Cassano would be coming for peanuts due to this whole rescission saga ... and with Pato injured, Ronnie on the way out, and Pippo out for the whole season, the forward options are looking thin (the in-form K-P has actually been playing up in the trident quite a few times) ... and even after getting Cassano, I think loaning in a pure centre-forward still may be necessary ...

We would be better of with a Santa Cruz or someone in terms of stability in team but if we want to win, Cassano is perfect!

I could see a loan deal being worked for the likes of Santa Cruz -- Man City need to get rid of some of their "deadwood" asap, not least for team chemistry ...

yeah midfield isn't the biggest area of concern for this season; it's the defence (starting wingbacks, and backup central defenders) that the team needs to spend big on ... you keep hearing names like Mamadou Sakho, David Luiz, Greg van der Wiel, etc. in the Italian press ... we'll see what happens ...

 

[Mus]

The only way pato is an improvement over Cassano is his pace

 

[4ndr3i]

I disagree. I'm not saying Cassano is bad, the dude's pretty awesome.. but I rate Pato better in almost every aspect. The kid has age on his side.. goal per game ratio.. dribbling...etc.

 

[Xifio]

Cassano is a fantasista, Pato is a striker ... they are judged on different criteria ... though I have to say Cassano's dribbling is better than Pato's ... in any case, I'd see them both being in the best XI if/when Tonio arrives (and when the Duck recovers), so it'll be more about how they combine than how they compare ...

 

[Mus]

Cass-Ibra-Pato?

 

[Pogba4Now]

You guys wanna play Robinho and Ronaldinho as defenders? Seriously you need defenders. Buying Cassano is absolutely pointless right now.

I understand that you guys are a bit thin upfront, but how the hell are you gonna keep everyone happy with 5 top class forwards? These 5 players should be starters in any top team. Not on the bench. Well except Ronaldinho maybe.

What you guys need is a forward who'd be happy to stay on the bench but be up to it when called up in the first team.

Not if your finances aren't great, you're still regularly fielding Seedorf, Gattuso, Ambrosini, and Pirlo (good players, but all of them could quite literally get a career ending injury any day at their age), and the defense is shaky at best. Seriously, there are a lot of good CMs in Italy, ditto for defenders, there is no reason to even consider Cassano. Even Real Madrid wasn't that stupid.

Wait, what?

 

[ShiftyPowers]

Hahaha, I didn't mean that literally. It wasn't a slight against Cassano.
