We need players with good sense of space and quick enough to move there. We had Sheva, Pippo, Kaka, Seedorf and the great Pirlo to orchestrate. We even had 2 destroyers: Rino and Max, 2 fast wingbacks: Cafu and Serghinho.
However, there is a long way for the current Milan.
We were just a balanced team in that time. Pirlo was pretty a weakness in front of CBs but he was covered by Gattuso (Geotav I think already explained this kind of system well).
I hope this year we will truly reinforce our midfield. I do hope two very good CM coming to Milan : Fabregas, Hamsik, Ganso, Pastore. My favorites are Ganso and Fabregas. I know that with two quality CM we are not yet in the level of Ancelotti's team but at least we have chance in CL if we play smart.

Barcelona is just a machine. Messi is out of this world in the way he dominates the game. I think Barcelona is a great team without Messi and is the best team with Messi.
Our basic opinion is already too different. I count Ronaldinho better than Messi and plus I don't rate Messi as very high as you do. So, it is understandable you rate Barca now much better than in 2006.
Dinho was better than Messi! Seriously?! Oh dear, oh dear. Dinho never had the consistency of performance, the team play or the change of direction that Messi has. Simply put, Messi is the best player of his generation. You can't compare different generations so that's as high a praise as you can give him. Having said that, if it was not for Xavi and Iniesta (who are also two of best players of this generation) he wouldn't have the same success. But that goes without saying, if you play in a poorer side you're not going to have the same success.
