Meh, this year he has played pretty badly, not sure if he was afraid of getting injured again. Even against Atletico Madrid, when we lost 1-0, the goal is due to his bad header.

When he is in good shape, he's very solid defensively , however his contribution in attack has always been minimal due to his horrible crosses.

I'd rather we get 10+ mill for him, but worst case scenario we get 8 mill and let him go. The problem is that no matter how much PSG or other club wants to spend, Raiola is the one that doesn't want the price to get too high so that the rest of the money can go towards Abate's salary (and Raiola's commision)

Abate: "I'll say the same thing as Montolivo said: we can stay calm as long as Galliani is here at Milan."

Assholes, both of them.

Sell.

Abate will never betroy Galliani.

anyway, respect for abate, he said that he dont want to leave milan for psg or any other team, de sciglio said that he will leave if he gets any offer from real madrid.

It's amazing how much people bitch about Ignazio and not about Muntari, Essien, Constant, Honda, etc...

Is this a hint that Abate and Montolivo were the ones Seedorf had a dispute when Galliani came in to 'advise' the coach?

Muntari and Honda also get more shit than they deserve.

Seedorf almost caused Abate to be out of the World Cup "because players should only play on their right position" and attempted to bench the Captain after the annual Chievo trashing without him. Of course there was a dispute.

Monto invited him to his wedding though and the whole thing doesn't seem personal - just Seedorf being incompetent.

Still, FUCK SEEDORF

Don't think anything was personal tbh, Just seedorf had different Ideas in mind, I do prefer pippo to seedorf but some of the hate on this board is horrible towards him, he's done his job as caretaker and did an ok job.

point of no return
defensively he s ok to good, nothing extraordinary,

but he s so awful when attacking, it s really painful to watch how bad he is

that 8 mil seems like a huge deal, should take it and run.

but knowing our management we ll probably bring mesbah back in his place

His comments about Galliani pissed me off.

Probably because he knew G would give Seedorf the shaft, and in all honesty Seedorf had issues with Abate and Monto...

It's human nature, if someone treats you like shit you want to fuck them over. It's bad but it's just how most people behave. It just seems in Milan it happens quite often of late.

Look at it from Abates point of view, he almost fucked up his WC chances by benching him.

He just lost the desire, he is not the same player that leonardo turned into RB, he is not even as fast as he use to be(been saying this).

I don't think you can blame him when Foddochia just gave the ball away. Naturally people are going to be out of position leading to confusion over who is watching who.

though I agree with your overall assessment, Abate is constantly out of position on the counter



When I see that picture, I'm not even surprised.

That's because with this system, Abate (inc Darmian) is extending while Motta is supposed to drop back. Abate hasn't been bad really. He almost scored at the end of the half and he has started the 2nd well.

My statement was based on how he plays for Milan not Italy.

hope he stays and plays with alex mattia and rami as the back 4.

Need to replace Monto more than we need to replace a good right back.

If his performance against Costa Rica does not convince G that he needs to sell Abate ASAP, I do not know what will do.

I like Abate as a person but he has reached his ceiling and there is nothing more to improve.

still a very good right back to rotate with mattia, if we sell abate, and mattia gets hurt, which seems likely, who plays right back?

Bonera?
