The last time I check, Milan got shut out by the Spurs in both games, a team barely made it into the Europa League next season.
As much as I think these old players deserve respect but there is a time when the club needs to move on and not hang on to past glory, there is also the time that the players must realize they no longer can play at the level require consistently. That is something players don't get. I still remember what Kala said about not playing in Milan, as he stated something like he was in good form and playing well but the coach/Leo never choose me. When I read that, I was like, what the heck is Kala smoking, as he has not play even average since 2004.

Seedorf is important. No, he's not in his prime but he still delivers. Remember his performance against Inter (second match). Also, look at his passing game and vision. Then tell me he's crap... You can't blame Seedorf for Milan's dismal failure in CL. Half of our squad was down and out with injuries - how many times has Seedorf been injured?

If he accepts a one-year contract and a role as a substitute (depending on wether we buy a new attacking midfielder or not), Seedorf should stay.

I maintain my position that we first and foremost need a fresh defensive midfielder to replace Gatusso, perhaps someone with more technical skills but with the same work ethic. Secondly, we should find an attacking midfielder (I'm not very fond of Fabregas!).

You have MVB, Ambro and Gattuso in mid, Pippo in attack, Nesta and Yepes in the back. Guys like T. Silva, Cassano, Ibra, Robinho, Flamini, Zambro, even Mexes and Taiwo are all pretty much have close to 10 years pro. exp., each playing in different leagues and clubs. So Milan is really not a team fill with teenagers or 22 yrs old.
You need a good balance of youth and exp, but with all the talks about rebuilding a dynasty.....having a 34 yrs old, who walks in all but a few games in a season is really great example of showing youth how to be a pro player.
