Please Paletta stay.

Vergara and Ely are not reliable as backups.


vergara was always going to get loaned out to some serie b club
I wouldn't mind Ely staying here, but I think he could easily get minutes at a lesser Serie A club, that's the only way he can grow and maybe become useful for us

Yeah Ely could be useful but definitely not now.

Vergara I have no hope for. The amount of times players got behind him easily tells me his positioning still hasn't improved despite his season in Serie B.

I don't know why people always underrated Paletta, he is our 2nd best CB (after Romagnoli). Also Gabriel is a good goalkeeper.

I started disliking Paletta after he pushed for a move because we bought Romagnoli. If he thinks he shit, who am I to think otherwise

Montella: "I'm happy, the team showed willingness to put into practice the principles of game we worked and there is still room for improvements. We worked a lot with the ball. We should increase the speed of play, above all in build-ups, but it was only the first game."

Ely played 3 full season as starter in serie B. On the other hand, Vergara had only a handful of games in serie B last 2 seasons and not a continous starter at all.
Both players need to be loaned though. Ely to a serie A team and Vergara to a serie B team.

He wanted to be called by Conte for the Euros. It was impossible with him rotting the bench.

Vergara was a starter with Livorno. But I agree, he makes many mistakes, and could be the new Zapata.

LOL @ forming judgments of players from the first friendly of the season

This argument doesn't work anymore since our judgments from preseason have shown to be true during the season for so many years now. :(

Actually he would have gotten the chances to improve himself. Romagnoli didn't have a regular partner the first 6months so paletta could indeed have taken advantage of that, had he stayed.

Paletta did pretty well tbh. Like a slight less static version of Alex. Nothing special when it comes to initiate any build-up but defensively definitely someone who does his homeworks

Glad we started with a W, good morale is important.

This year's Trofeo TIM will take place on August 10. Milan, Sassuolo and Celta Vigo will participate.

3 mediocre teams.

Two of those teams will play in the Europa League next season. Mediocre ?
I think not.

So we're playing in two hours and no one gives a shit?

All I hope to see today is that the team is trying to play Montella football, sure we're going to lose but we're coming up against one of the worlds best teams. I want to see growth as a team. Forza Milan and good luck Montella with your first unofficial outing as coach.
