GK- Abbiati, Amelia, Roma
Abbiati is a decent keeper, but not world class or UCL material by any chance. Neuer, Casillas, Valdes are much better. Milan, given their limited budget need to save money in this department. I would have signed Weisse, but from what I see he is gone now. Look how good Van der sar was for Man UTD.
Adler,
CB- Silva, Nesta, Mexes, Bonera, Yepes
Silva is the main anchor and should be the captain of Milan next season. He is our best player. Nesta too should stay- yes he is old and worn out but his experience can help us a lot. Mexes too should stay- he has had a few bad performances but he is experienced and can play in less competitive games against lower ranked teams. Bonera has played much better this season, he is cheap salary wise and should be used as a back up CB/RB.
However, Milan will need to sign Astori or Acerbi to form a new CB partnership with Silva. This is very imp.
I almost had to stop reading after you said Valdes is better than Abbiati
He's God-Awful.
Also, you said Rino Gattuso is a CDM? No, he's not. He can play there, but would never play there now. He's always at RCM, if you've watched Milan the past 10 years.
In Attack, Ibra is very good for Serie A where teams play Slow and deliberate. He's too slow, his reactions are not there, he doesn't pressure nor play for the team all the time, which is partially the reason he's never won UCL.
Apparently there are strong links for him to Real Madrid, but assuming he stays, he cannot be counted on to play every minute of every game. We MUST get Tevez to rotate with Ibra, Cassano, and SES. Everyone should be fresh, and Tevez should play if Ibra plays SHIT.
Yes we need more creative midfielders, but that's a topic for another post.
