He conceded a unforced own goal (1:41):

He made a bad decision on debut day (Villarreal part):

We shouldn't pay 8M for him when Yepes and Mexes are free and Ely is promising.

Taiwo: From what I saw, he is a slow decision maker. That could be costly. He can cover it with concentration and his physical advantage, but a slow thinker like him will find it hard if he wants to help the attack.

Robinho: I think without him and with Huntelaar, we still won the Scudetto, but Binho brings the dynamism to Milan, and we lacked that.

Seedorf: He is intelligent, but lazy. We should use his brain by playing some working bees around him. Binho (mentioned above) and Boateng are two great bees. Rino and Flamini can help sometimes. A match with Seedorf and 2 of Binho, Boateng and Rino/Flamini is safe. This season we will have another interesting player: Kingsley Boateng.

Aqua & Monty: They are cheap & free addition. The ratio of success is 1:2 can be counted as high.

Viudez, Caraciolo, Grimi, Montelongo, Mattioni, Gourcuff,... are not cheap & free addtion. None cost more than 1.5M. They are young players, and the success rate for them is very low.

If Zapata is error prone than Mexes is the same, on top of that, anyone with speed can just blow by him. Just ask Pato who he likes to face the most out of all Serie A CB and he will most probably say, Mexes.

Since that's your cheap and free addition, I will give you more, Slowdorf, Contra, Javi Moreno, Veiri, Rivaldo, Cafu, Stam, Pancaro, Favalli, Vogel, Dharasso, Crespo, JDT, Umit, Emerson, Sheva( second time), Hunter( part of Kaka deal), Senderous, Gouch, Papa, Boateng, and Flamini.

When you pick out those who failed and succeed in helping Milan, you will notice that with the exception of Javi Moreno, all those who failed were all pretty last minute purchase, aka panic buy or someone from bargain basement. Yes, Ibra and Robinho were both great buys and their price tags are steal for their talents, but Ibra' wages is really high, heck his wages alone is more an the starting 11 of Napoli when they played against Milan, while Robinho cost 18mil for someone who failed in two leagues in Europe while Hernanes cost Lazio 10mil. Both shined in Brazil the year before. Point is, there is nothing wrong with free and cheap buy, actually that's smart, but at least from Milan history of the past 10 yrs or so, e successful ones are usually the one who arrives in July or even before season's end while the failures were those who showed up toward e end of transfer window. If you can't see the difference in that, then I really don't know what to say anymore.

In his first games he really looked confused and played not comfortably but then he tried to play like Italian style fullback, focus defensive duty first then think about offensive one later. That's what he did best in the last game when he was injured. He was just solid there, really strong defensively and tactically he was also good. He did have good tactical awareness in that game. He didn't just kick the ball when he got it just to sweep his area, he did pass and look the player he wanted to pass to. But yeah, he was still not great offensively, he would learn (do) it that one later IMO. The last game he played shows that he could be a solid fullback, at least in the level of Abate has been offering to Milan, quality fullback defensively.

--------------------------- Abbiati / Amelia --------------------

Antonini / Taiwo ---- Nesta / Mexes --- Silva --- Abate / Zambrotta


Kaka' / Seedorf ----- Rino / Van Bommel ----- Aquilani / KPB


--------------------- Robinho / Cassano -----------


Not bad , you set my mind at ease a bit , add Monty aswell.HOPEFULLY!!!


Pato / Inzaghi ------------------------------------ Ibra / ?


remember guys we can still put T.Silva as a DM then have Mexes Pair up with Nesta

Aquilani --- T. Silva ---- Kaka '

that would be solid still
