RE: Winter mercato January 2015 - eki111 - 09-12-2014
Un mucchio di gente frustrata che pensa sempre male delle scelte dell Berlusconi e Galliani. Andatevene a tifare un altra squadra. Questo forum e fatto per i Milanisti veri!!!
RE: Winter mercato January 2015 - ZvonimirBoban - 09-12-2014
You two are irritating me. If you have some brains left, both of you should go to the rules section and read that no one is allowed to call himself better Milan fan and it is forbidden to even question whether another member is real Milan fan or not. We all love Milan here.
RE: Winter mercato January 2015 - xudong - 09-12-2014
exactly, let's all just calm down. and one more thing: please post in English.
and give each other a hug.
RE: Winter mercato January 2015 - nefremo - 09-12-2014
That escalated quickly! 
The good old you are not a Milan fan debate!Dev, what's the ideal midfield in this team right now in your opinion? (assuming that we'll play a 4-3-3.
Just to answer my own question, I think De Jong as a holder along with Bonaventura and Muntari is right now the best midfield out of our available options. When Montolivo comes back, I would like to see him alongside De Jong and Bonaventura....although many things may change until then and the other two may not still be first choice.

Yes Poli's a bench player nothing more. There's a reason Inter decided against exercising their purchase option for him. We paid c.5m for him so can't expect too much I guess. As the old saying goes 'pay peanuts you get monkeys'. We could say the same thing about Gabriel, Vergara, Saponara, Niang etc.

Generally agree with you on that midfield. Poli would be competing with Muntari for me, as he's more disciplined tactically and that could give more freedom to Bonaventura and balance. Pretty sad looking midfield though if you ask me.
Montolivo and Van Ginkel can return/be assessed soon enough hopefully and actually be useful. Another I don't want to be lost in all this is Saponara, who I think can grow but needs to be shown confidence and space. Not to say he's a starter, but even if he gets regular minutes off the bench I think he needs to be shown a little faith. I know he's not the most popular player here, but I also think Pippo's managed to see the best out of him in a Milan shirt during preseason and I think he was one of the more positive aspects in our midfield.

I'm fine with him being a bench player personally, you can't always get stars.
RE: Winter mercato January 2015 - nefremo - 09-13-2014
I liked how Saponara performed in pre-season. I hope he gets space too. About the midfield, I agree that it's a pretty sad looking group. I've always said that it's our biggest problems. I have high hopes for Bonaventura and I hope he gets played there. I think that if he performs to the levels he did for Atalanta (hopefully he will improve too) then this midfield with him in there is definitely an improvement over recent years. I wouldn't even dare compare it to the one of the early to mid 2000's and let's not even talk about the early-mid 90s.
Poli for me has always just been average, and mostly disappointing. That's why I think Muntari, even if not tactically perfect, is a much better option at this point. At least until Montolivo returns.
Jokka, I'm a little surprised you are putting Niang's name in the mix with all those others. He is 19.

What's age got to do with it? For a true assessment we need to compare him against similar players. At 19, Berardi had 16 goals/10 assists playing for minnows Sassuolo. Right now he's worth 20m+. Similarly, Lazio's Keita had 5 goals/5 assists in 25 games and Juve/Liverpool just had 20m bids rejected. What's Niang ever done? 0 goals/28 games not to mention numerous run ins with the law. No big team wants Niang and only Milan fans rate him. Inter fans recently praising Coman said "let's pray he's another M'baye Niang not Pogba lol".

Since when an Interisti's comments worth anything here?
