However if you are looking at the progress of the team as a whole to get to again be the best side in the world, it would make perfect sense. Currently Milan are entirely too reliant on him. This is a huge problem as throughout his entire career and at every club he has played for, he has failed to deliver in the big games and in Europe. He simply lacks the movement and dynamism to cause good defenders problems. If Milan want to get to the top level they have to take a more holistic and team approach and I personally don't believe that this can be achieved with Ibra.
And with regards to my "right" to post on here, I don't have to justify anything to you. I have followed Milan for over 20 years, as well as follwing Barca for roughly the same time. And regardless of who I follow, a public forum is surely self explainitory.
It's one of those akward situations. If you want to sell him he needs to perform, and if he does that should he not be kept. I still think he'll go on to be a top class player. Just hope it is for Milan
I don't have the stats with me, but Milan played just as well with or without IBra. The style of play is different though.
I'm against selling Ibra. Buying him (will) bring us two Scudetto - with the absence of Cassano till this weekend (which everybody seems to have forgotten how important Cassano is to us). "he has failed to deliver in the big games and in Europe. He simply lacks the movement and dynamism to cause good defenders problems. If Milan want to get to the top level they have to take a more holistic and team approach and I personally don't believe that this can be achieved with Ibra." I might have agreed with you two years ago before Ibra joined, but when you look at IBra this season at Champion League, this point is totally not valid. He might not have scored enough goals against the bigger team, but he has drawn defender's attention, made enough assists, and win. Example include assisting Robinho (against Arsenal; also scored a goal from the PK that he earned) and Nocerino (against Barca).
So I'm not too entirely sure if 'selling Ibra' will be it. I actually think we need to figure out what's going on with injury. I thought that should be our highest priority.
p.s.: I'm more surprised that you weren't able to hold an unbiased view about Barca's second penalty, given that you have followed both Milan and Barca for 20 years (assuming that means you are a fan for both teams). Clearly, you love one team more so than the other (which is OK because we all do).
There's only one team i Follow, and it's name is AC Milan.
If his name is JUAN, then you could guess who he likes more....
