Squad for 04/05

[Boban]

indeed

 

[savicevic10]

OUT

Rui Costa
Redondo
Laursen
Roque Junior
Serginho
Borriello

IN

Stam
Zebina (free)
Davids (free)
Chevanton
Gilardino (co-ownership and leave him at Parma for another year)

This I think is all financially viable. Redondo, Borriello could be given to Lecce to lower the price tage of Chevanton. The free transfers speak for themselves. Davids I think would be a great deal. Speed up our midfield, provides competition for Gattuso and Seedorf etc. Too many games next year that come thick and fast for anyone to be on the bench for a sustained time to notice.

Only if Inzaghi leaves should we bring Gilardino to Milan in the summer. Gilardino's young and needs to keep playing regularly in Serie A and we're just going to spoil his progress by leaving him on the bench.

However, it's in Milan interests not to let anyone else get him. Maybe even buying him and letting Lazio have him for a year to get Stam would be good. But he needs to keep playing.

Chevanton is a good back up for Sheva. As Tomasson is for Inzaghi.

Rui COsta must and he will stay this year.

i made some kind of drem team for next year, tell me what you think about it.

in: Rothen, Mancini, Stam, Zotti; (only Mancini seems really unrealistic IMO)

out: Laursen, Roque Junior, Redondo, Abbiati; (no surprises here, i think Abbiati will join Palermo and i think he earns a first team spot)

tactically we would change to a 3 - 5 - 2 formation.

first team:


--------------------------Inzaghi--------Sheva

---------------------------------- Kaka

---------------Rothen---------Gattuso---------Mancini

-----------------------------------Pirlo

-----------------Maldini---------Nesta---------Stam

-----------------------------------Dida


we would be able to play a much wider game and and come over the flanks and with players like mancini and rothen we would score a lot of headers as i think pretty all of our strikers are very good in the air.


second team:



--------------------Boriello or Pozzi--------Tommason or Pozzi

----------------------------------Rui Costa

--------------------Serghino---------Ambro---------Seedorf

----------------------------------Abate or Brochi

---Pancaro or Kaladze---------Costacurta or Simic---------Cafu or Simic

--------------------------------- Zotti


of course we will never see the whole second string but it would be possible, and we could of course change to a 4 man defense. i don't think we need another striker, boriello should definitely get more time to show wha he can do. inzaghi is able to deliver much more than what he shows at the moment but with all the injuries i guess its pretty hard for him and pozzi i think has also to bee good otherwise we would not pay that much for a 17 year old.


well, what do you think? (no bashing please)


Forza Milano

 

[Rivaldo-11]

You stupid little......just kidding, actually like that team that you made in ur 2 x 2 block of post u just made I would really love Mancini if we cant get Trabelsi to replace cafu IN A YEAR OR TWO, because hes 33 - but at the moment he is just brilliant (Cafu).

But, Rothen is alright, i think some of you give him a bit too much hype.

 

[acdc81]

"But, Rothen is alright, i think some of you give him a bit too much hype"

i guess you are right about that, i can only judge him from what i see in the CL and the national team. but i simply like his style and i guess he still can improve at milan

er, no, we shouldn't.

well i think mancini and rothen can also play in a 4 men defense but with 3 top defenders like stam, nesta and maldini it is no problem to change to a 3 men defense as rothen and mancini are more powerful in midfield.

but ok, how would you play the team?

 

[makaveli]

out:
1. Roque for Zebina
2. Laursen for Stam
3. Redondo for Davids

Rui, Billy, Serginho and Pippo i don't know what should we do with these player's Pippo could be replaced by a new striker Chevanton perhap's, also Morientes i am begining to like this player don't know why. Stuttgart's Alesander Hleb or Rothen could do a great job instead of Serginho or Seedorf who know's. Also Ludovic Giuly is a player to look at . Don't know for the moment wich one to add or bring out :devil2:

 

[ehsan99]

Gilardino or Cheva(in my dream totti)--------Sheva------------

---------------------------------- Kaka------------------------

---------------Rothen---------Davids---------Cafu----------

-----------------------------------Pirlo------------------------

-----------------Maldini---------Nesta---------Stam---------

-----------------------------------Dida
Gattuso is great but i think Ancelotti prefer Davids
Rothen is a good signing

 

[Rivaldo-11]

Yeh, i agree that he is quality,,,but we wil wait and see what happens. Never know

Gattuso is great but i think Ancelotti prefer Davids

In my view it is impossible to "prefer" anyone over Rino, even Davids. Rino is a managers dream, only very very few teams have this type of player, i dont think Carlo would replace him.

 

[Congo Powers]

-------------chevanton-------------shevchenko
------------------------------kaka

----------------seedorf------pirlo-------------gattuso

--maxwell-----------maldini---------nesta-----------cafu(rafael...?)

----------------------------dida

agreed. Gattuso is unique. I dont think we could replace him and there is no need to.

 

[Rivaldo-11]

AHHH, we agree on something

 

[Taulant]

-------------chevanton-------------shevchenko
------------------------------kaka

----------------seedorf------pirlo-------------gattuso

--maxwell-----------maldini---------nesta-----------cafu(rafael...?)

----------------------------dida

this solution maybe we can try to buy Obodo from Perugia he's 19.

 

[savicevic10]

We still have Kaladze to come back who is a great player.

 

[Rivaldo-11]

Yeh Kaladze will com back and start i think, well at least challenge Pancaro for the LB spot

 

[jasiom]

so who is comming...all the rumours seem to have died...

is STAM definatly comming ?
is ZEBINA really comming, and why ?

and who will be the new attacker... MUTU,CASSANO are the big slightly ridiculous rumours...
but CHEVANTON is closest ? but is he...???

PLEASE WRITE WHAT YOU'VE HEARD OR KNOW...

FORZA MILAN!!! :devil2:

my idea for the 2004/2005 first team

------------Shevchenko-----------Chevanton---------------
----------------------------Kaka------------------------------
--------Seedorf-----------------------------Gattuso---------
---Maldini------------------Pirlo----------------------Cafu---
------------------Nesta---------------Stam-------------------
-----------------------------Dida------------------------------

 

[jasiom]

----------Shevchenko------------Chevanton-----------
--------------------------Kaka'---------------------------
-------Emerson-------------------------Gattuso---------
--------------------------Pirlo-----------------------------
--Kaladze-----Maldini----------Nesta----------Stam---
--------------------------Dida----------------------------

or maybe...

 

[YUGOSLAV]

We must get rid of:
1.Laursen
2.R.Junior
3.Ancelotti
4.Serginho

Bring some young fellas such as Maxwell, Bonera, P.Cannavaro, Mutu...
and of course TOTTI !

 

[milan_my_love]

We must get rid of:

3.Ancelotti

Excuse me!Just 24 hours past we won the scudetto and instead of prasing him you are raising question marks on Italian Serie'A 's most points winning coach in the history.Amazing!!!
BTW you came up with similar bashings on him all along the season so i must congratulate you on the scudetto victory. :devil2:

FORZA CARLO!

 

[jasiom]

I agree interesting...

I was sceptic about ancelotti before... but he did prove me wrong ... and I am glad for that....

FORZA MILAN!!!! :devil2: :devil2:

 

[Rivaldo-11]

I think everyone was a bit sceptic......but he proved us all wrong...well many of us

 

[milanist]

So this one goes here then . Well, I see you all dreaming of weird players joining Milan (like Emerson, Cassano, Totti, Figo, Rothen, Zotti, Mancini, Pozzi, Maxwell, Rafael, Obodo, Gilardino, Cannavaro, Bonera,...), I think none of these players suits Milan.

My suggestion is buying some of these players:
-Back (Stam, Chivu, Zebina, Lucio(?), Ba(?))
-Middle (Davids, Juninho, Dhorasoo, Solari(?), Ledesma, Matuzalem)
-Forward (Mutu, Chevanton, Fabiano, Santa Cruz, Corradi(?), Drogba(?))


And Ancelotti is OK.

 

[Besi]

Who is going out from the squad?

Sergino`s contract expires and Redondo i think will leave for sure..

 

[Jorge Castillo]

I do not know how can you say that martin laursen sucks.

I Admit that he's a project but he's definitely not garbage.
You are forgeting that Martin Laursen is the stronhold defender of Denmark. One of the best national tams on Europe that has a great defensive tactic system. And the leader is Laursen.

Here is a picture for you to see him on action.

Every single club around the world wants to get young players..and Martin is a young player but also a great defender. He doesn't plays that much because he has 2 of the greatest defenders of all times: Maldini and Nesta. Consider, also, he is a must in Denmark National Team. It is obvious that for any Joung player is extremely difficult to set outside the master Paolo Maldini or the regular and excellent Nesta. Consider that.

Although he looks kind of nervious when he plays (I know he moves weird sometimes) he doesn't give the ball to the oponent, he always gives the ball to a team mate, an excellent thing for a defender of his characteristics, most of the defenders are good in defending but when it comes about giving a good pass...

Martin Laursen is solid, he's Joung and in perspective he has a great glorious future in AC Milan. He's one of the finest projects in Italy nowadays and in Denmark he has already consolidated as a reality.

There is a lot of talking about Jack Stam...but have you forget how old is he? It's easy to ask for players but you need to consider the MONEY , the quantity that Stam will ask for coming to AC MILAN. Instead, Martin Laursen is a Milan player, he's doing his career as a defender with great future...and in 1 or 2 years more after Maldini's retirement he will have the enough experience to take charge of the DEFENSE in Milan or to support Nesta as he does nowadays with Paolo. Think intelligent, proyect Milan in the future and not only for the next season.

I think people is being too critic with Martin Laursen, and they are not considering his age and that to be a young defender is very difficult. You need experience over all. Besides that, he has an excellent timing, great head, great head accuracy, excellent jump (Just check the picture), excellent physicall condition, a regular (not bad, normal) feeling with the ball.

I think you all should review you sayings against Laursen, a player that is not regular in the team because he has 2 greatest in front of him, and that enters cold to the matches and for any soccer player to get used to matches and to play often is very important-

Apart from that he is a good defender in the sense that he kicks the rivals but in a good way. He has got only 1 yellow card in 14 matches!!! Great for a defender.

As you could see, Martin Laursen has to stay in Milan and play a little more often, nothing else and he will show you all the great player he is.
