I also think that Cerci and Bacca could work upfront too. Somewhat like Cerci and Immobile at Torino where he played a supporting striker drawing defenders out of position for Bacca to slide into.

I also somewhat agree with Boban, Instead of focusing on Ibra I hope Galliani is busy dealing for a defender and a top notch mid.

A couple of years ago both Paletta and Cerci had pretty good seasons and under the right coach they could excel again.

I'm less keen on Cerci staying if I'm honest. Don't see much value in him personally. I think it was a mistake to get him (despite admitting I wanted him last summer).

About the Adriano-Bacca partnership scepticism, it might really work as an attacking duo (especially in Serie A) as long as a good system is implemented, with the right help from the CAM position and the fullbacks. I'm thinking about Yorke and Cole in Man Utd but that might be wrong thinking. Truth is, they are quite similar players and maybe a HEALTHY SES would compliment one of them in a better way.

I'm sure you're right, I just don't see it as a natural fit. I think SES or Niang could actually work well with them.

@Devoted, I think it's fair to raise the point about Pippo and Sheva, although interestingly, I'd argue they were at their best when not used together. Also, Sheva during his time at Milan and in those years with Inzaghi was very different from when he joined, much more a team player.

Thank you so much for the greeting and info!

No problem, it's my pleasure and it's great to see the community growing again and old posters returning, as well as new joining. It's funny to see reza talking about the recent activity being a motivation for him to keep the forum going, but not just for him, I think quite a few of us here really value this forum.

Funny thing is, I've actually been part of this community for around 1/3 of my life (and I was reading for years prior to joining), it's amazing to think it's been that long. I know I'm not alone in that feeling and understanding that this place has played that big a role in my life as a Milan fan.

I think part of what makes this place special is that it's not just a forum where we're all faceless posters who hide behind a computer screen flaming on others. It's a real community where people genuinely make friendships that are valuable. I won't name names, but recently I got a pm from a poster who announced a very personal (and happy) event occurring in their life and they shared that with me, which is just awesome.

I hope it's the same for you and the others that I welcomed, that you feel this is a place where you can openly talk about Milan (as well as other things) among friends.

Interesting

Quote:Speaking to La Gazzetta dello Sport, Michele Sbravati, responsible for the youth of Genoa, spoke of Stephan El Shaarawy: "With me the midfielder has always done: for me is his real role. Midfield, not a playmaker . Internal right in a 4-3-3. Or in a 4-1-4-1 that is pretty much the same thing. A midfield added, that when he had the opportunity pointing the door, but it was able to do both phases, not only the offensive. He was always ready to sacrifice. Even as a striker is one that does its part, not an anarchist who think only goal.

I know him from a life: we are both of Savona when I worked for the Savona he played in the rookies Legino. I still could not take it, but when I went to Genoa I took it. It was the midfielder outside: he athleticism important, with that leg was inevitable push to place it on the wing. I tried to accentrarlo in median three, there was also with the Students of Torrente. With Primavera who won the Scudetto often Chiappino was 4-4-2: he was one of the exterior. Gradually he has advanced the range: playmaker in Padua, then tip.

AC Milan has 20 goals, a season in which he spoke only of him and Neymar and it was his misfortune, because he is not a wing of the old way, of those who are always on the same side to jump the man, he He knows how to dribble by both sides, but the wing would end off the field. With the exterior with the inverse foot, which is to centralize the shot, there is a great space for the midfielders. Mind you, the midfield Stephan was in the Juniors, it may be that in A did not succeed.

But, behind a lefty on the right wing, Honda or Cerci, he would have plenty of space to try the shot: it could become a midfielder by 7-8 goals a season. But did that super season at Milan, since people expect 20 goals a year. In midfield he would play even more free without all this pressure

Thanks guys, I think reza is well aware of what I think of the forums. Xu, you were definitely in mind when I thought about those of us that had been here for a while Big Grin

Looks like they want to get rid of Cerci, but are struggling:

Also, Corriere Dello Sport suggests Maksimovic and Mexes could be the defence next season:

http://www.milannews.it/primo-piano/corsport-under-25-forte-fisicamente-e-tecnicamente-mihajlovic-traccia-lidentikit-del-difensore-181102

Somedevil, I was going to just post that article myself. I think SES should be tried as mezzala personally, I think it could be a position he can excel in, mostly thanks to his ability to drive forward from deep and his workrate. That said, he needs to improve in some areas too, mostly imo his willingness to "fight" to win/hold the ball and in his movement off the ball. I think he's capable of learning though.


RE: Summer mercato 2015 - Sputnik - 07-05-2015

I'd love it if we sign Maksimovic.
To be sincere I prefer him over Romagnoli.

Isn't he a non-eu player being Serbian? I believe we already used up our quota of non-eu players with Bacca and Adriano.

Yes, but I think the 2 non-eu restriction applies only to players signed from abroad.

As the 2013 Non-EU Italian Quota System dictates "Serie A teams can buy non-EU players within the Italian transfer market with no restriction"

That means Maksimovic being non-eu is not a problem since he was playing in Italy last season. I think that's the case.

Anyone seen all the stuff that's being said about Inter's transfer campaign?

Apparently they sent Imbula's dad/agent threats once they realized the player was about to join Porto, while Fiorentina are pissed because the Nerazzurri are trying to poach Salah (sounds like they carry a lot of the responsibility for the conflict between the player and the club).

So the contrast between Milan and Inter couldn't be clearer. We apparently become nicer to other clubs when we have money, like when we paid Shakthar the amount they wanted for Luiz Adriano instead of pressuring them into accepting a lower fee, or by selling Rami to Sevilla for half of what he's actually worth as a favor after taking their best player. It's a nice change, considering that we were pretty ruthless when we were broke (we never threatened anyone or created conflicts between clubs and players though).

Inter, however, appear to have turned into complete jerks now. They need to get over their Napoleon complex, I think.
