Youth competition is at best a indicator for talent, not that you are ready enough to play for AC Milan and a international debut is naighter a reason to play him.

Furthermore, no reason to SHOUT, I understand you perfectly.

that's something that worries me....if these are his best years.....then we better get rid of him.....he made a lot of errors


on the otherhand...i really like abbiati (when he doesn't make errors)

Abiatti is 35, my quote was aimed at a user who said we shouldn´t wait until Gabriel is 31.

I would roughly say age GK = age field player +4 years, you need some seasons practice to be reliable but it isn´t so athletic so you can do it up to a higher age.

This is gonna make lots of you guys happy!

Milan are reportedly considering showing Christian Abbiati the door at the end of the season once his contract expires.

The goalkeeper will turn 36 next July and the Rossoneri are seriously pondering the option of bringing in a younger replacement.

Abbiati has won almost everything possible while at Milan, a club he joined from Monza back in the summer of 1998.

The custodian, who has also enjoyed loan spells at Torino, Juventus and Atletico Madrid, could make a return to La Liga. Levante have been paired.

Milan are understood to be closely monitoring the performances of Atalanta’s Andrea Consigli and Genoa-owned Mattia Perin, who is currently on loan at Pescara.

"According to CDS, If Abbiati renews the next year, it will only be to be a new young goal-keeper's teacher. Perin would replace him"

 

[Ash]

The amount of times this dude gets injured is shocking

Well..atleast he didn't cost us a sub this time round

 

[Rino]

We shouldn't sack Abbiati for one poor match, remember his save against Hulk? Or against RVP last year? That's true worldclass, and think about howmuch money those 2 saves gave us.

Yea

He also cost us a number of crucial points

 

[nuttela]

Would definitely prefer he signs off like dida rather than get sold. If contract ends let him do things on his best interest but we need a new numero uno and he could take a back up spot

 

[Sod-Lod]

What's up !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Christian]

Top class today

 

[21-23]

The sole reason why we have the one point today

 

[Jivara]

Yeah but he made me shit bricks everytime he had to clear the ball.

Abbiati needs to go.

Either Gabriel starts getting some chances, or we go for Perin or Consigli next season I guess.

Abbiati is and will also be better than Perin, Consigli and Gabriel next season.

 

[AndreiX]

Abbi is a 95kg dude...he's too heavy for a GK...he's getting too old and inconsistent

 

[Jivara]

Ok maybe, but the season after Abbiati will confirm to me that he is finished and he is unmotivated.

Perin and Consigli and Gabriel would have gained some experience by then, if they fail oh well, but at least its a worthwhile investment, thats where intuition comes into play.

 

[melanman]

I know everybody is fixed on Perin, but in our situation consigli makes more sense.


We can swap him with amelia and let him push abbiati for the starting role with young gabriel remaining third, but a closer second than this season.

 

[Jivara]

From what ive seen of Perin, he is good at stopping shots from distance, a big guy who makes himself big, which is what Milan generally go for. Consigli seems to be the one who depends more on reflexes and staying on his line, but he is a smart and confident keeper as well, Perin looks more cocky.

cocky is good for a gk

 

[joyrider]

Excellent performance, even the statue moment was superbly outlined!!

He still has 2 seasons

Just basing on what I have seen from Perin and what I saw from Consigli against us; they seem like pretty good GKs. Perin has the bigger ceiling plus I think he has his fundamentals better than Consigli. I think Consigli a good perforamce against us; however, most of our shots from outside, he kept leaving them rolling around the area.

Consigli will always be Consigli, Perin has potential of becoming something better

 

[melanman]

consigli is older so ofcourse he has less of a ceiling we need a keeper now not a potential one.

consigli could easily come and push amelia out of second spot and thats what we need.

Perin wouldnt be ready to start for Milan for probably another 2-3 years atleast.

I'd take the chance...
You can't win without taking risks...
+ we could get them both...Amelia +0.5 for consigli and perin for some cash and some mediocre youth (In 2-3 years Perin might be worth too much for us, see Buffon at 23)
