Seedorf new manager

 

[Xifio]

for now, I'm happy to be naïvely optimistic about this appointment, for both the sake of Italy's last remaining Champions League representative, and of course Professor Clarence himself ...

meanwhile, Honda seems to have settled in well ... goal aside, it was interesting to see him already animatedly talking tactics at a few of his new teammates and coaches during the handful of training sessions he's had with them ... I assume his lectures would have been in English ... Montolivo speaks German since he's a German citizen; but does he speak English too?

 

[Sir Didier Drogba]

You should trade Balotelli for Fernando Torres.

 

[Xifio]

I'm sure Benítez would swap Pandev for Torres over at Napoli ... and Mou likely wouldn't mind reuniting with Goran, considering he was the crucial January signing that helped Inter to the treble that very season ...

 

[Xifio]

Edje Davids left his player/manager role at Barnet by mutual consent ... rumour mill now in full swing!

 

[Xifio]

aaanndd surprise, surprise, Davids showed up at the San Siro ... but denials all round on him joining Seedorf's coaching staff ...

there is confirmation, however, about Jaap Stam's return to Milan ...

 

[Mus]

Does this mean Urby's position is a lock on the left?

 

[Xifio]

nepotism? what's that?

hah, yes, he seems to be a first team lock, since Seedorf has already asked for his contract to be renewed ...

Nigel de Jong will be a first team lock too ...

 

[Sir Didier Drogba]

Nigel De Jong should be.

 

[chygry]

He should move away from that club. Serie A (besides Juve y Napoli) is a joke anyways.

He would be good for Manchester United.

 

[chygry]

To tackle Xabi Alonso in the chest? Too bad he doesn't play in EPL anymore.

 

[Sir Didier Drogba]

Hopefully next season he will be (in blue), though maybe with Matic arriving he is no longer necessary.

 

[chygry]

You are right about the fac t thah he would be good for Manutd, but he isn't the kind of player that is good distributing the ball. SO i don't want him.

And in my other thoughts,, Carrick isn't whath e used to be so neeed two midfielders.

 

[Sir Didier Drogba]

You needed Matic.

 

[Xifio]

speaking of breaking through, we might as well include this "wonderkid" and the 2017 Golden Ball in the discussion:



his name made the news thanks to all the debut at 15 rumours ... he already hangs out with El Shaarawy ...

flashforward 1 year, and he's finally back amongst the Milan talk, after his Red Bull event with Neymar, and the fact that he has officially been training with the first team ... full of tricks, so it'll obviously be worth watching to see, if/when he debuts, whether he's more Neymar than Quaresma ...

 

[yoyo913]

This is a better video rather than that useless one of keep-up.

 

[Xifio]

nice ... that keepy-uppy one was a magazine piece from back in 2012 ... a 2014 vid with youth match highlights from the past year is a better update (although "Moroccan Magician" is kinda misleading) ...

 

[Mus]

Maybe taraabt can teach him a thing or two
