AC Milan general spiel 2.0

[San Paolo]

Pescara have come out and said that Milan are also the front runners for Marco Verratti even though Juve are very keen on him.

[San Paolo]

Even Galliani seems pleased by the new goalkeeper

[San Paolo]

yeah serious, he did. Vila didn't seem too bad in the one game he played for us so hopefully with a little more confidence he will be okay, De Sciglio seemed quality as well when he played in the derby.

“At Milan they thought I was finished, but here I am...” smiled Pirlo in a press conference on international duty with Italy.

i used to like Pirlo but since his move to Rube i'm rapidly finding him hard to like. what sort of a comment is that? he seems to have forgot the facts of why we released him, he didn't want to accept the new terms for all players over 30 and demanded a bigger deal to which Galliani then showed him the door. to say we all thought he was finished makes me wonder why he was crying like a baby when he was leaving if he is glad to be shut of milan.
and comments like this make me sick, "Italy have great inner strength. This side resembles Juventus and can go far, as we have everything we need to go far." before we know it Rubentini will be as bad as West Ham fans and will be claiming they won the Euros and the WC back in 2006.

Has Cissokho sorted his teeth out?

i can understand where pirlo is coming from, he's a player that never really used physical attributes to excel in the game. in fact, his greatest physical attribute is his stamina, he can run for ages, and stamina isn't something that slows down dramatically. so to write him off as aging was an unforgivable mistake.

i think that it was a royal fuck-up to let pirlo go, no less to juventus, and it's really interesting to keep hearing about pirlo's passive aggressive comments against milan over the past few months, i'm not surprised that he has a bone to pick with galliani and allegri. but give pirlo the proper supporting cast and you can see how effective he can be.

it's such a shame what allegri has done to the club. what upsets me even more is that we have a whole batch of technically gifted midfielders coming through the youth ranks that won't be given a shot at the first team because allegri emphasizes more hustle rather than technique. he's done some good things, and i'm thankful for that, but he's not doing it in the real style of milan. ugly little shit.

[San Paolo]

Allegri isn't convinced by Rock the Mesbah so wants us to sign another LB in the window, what's wrong with trying Urby there seen as he played there for Ajax?

[San Paolo]

When Galliani arrived at the Lega Calcio HQ today he said "Today, it's better to remain in silence". He's talking about the Betting scandal of course but i wonder if this is also a hidden shot at Conte too?

[San Paolo]

well to be fair he did twat MVB with his elbow so it was a valid accusation. he talks as though his ten years or whatever at Milan count for nothing now though, he can hate the club but he's also disrespecting us fans who still support and like him....just, that's what hurts the most.

[p_maldini_3]

milan disrespected him first by accusing him of that elbow, which was an incredibly cheap shot on our part. allegri also let the muntari-non goal controversy go on for too long. allegri was able to get by with a lot of shit this season, although i will admit that a lot of it seemed to be tongue-in-cheek, it's still hard to tell the difference just by reading an article.

as of now, the only player who knows how to handle the ball in our midfield is montolivo. the rest are all runners. what a sham.

Is Flamini going? He's pretty good (when fit).
