100% agree with you mate. It's like going back and shitting on Ambro who was never great in his own terms yet his contribution was great. We should hang on to Abate till he is 31 and then let him go abroad.

He isn't worth 3million a year as he is to easy to be replaced by a cheaper option. We should keep him though but I don't believe he will go lower than 2.5 per season. The wage bill isn't that bad and we should focus on getting rid of Matri rather than worrying now much we pay Abate. I doubt he...

I am a fan of his as he is out product but he did have a long spell when he played just average. Dorf was picking Mattia even when he played worse than Abate. Mattia has natural talent but for players like Abate you just need to consistently play to be in form. I have other issue though: didn't...

Tottenham is reported to be scouting him. He is one of not many assets that can bring some money. Pointless keeping him on the bench next year. Especially that he will most likely play for Italy.

Well, if he decides to leave it will be win win for everybody. One of not many players with a decent price tag.

The one manager(can't remember his name) that people were obsessively defending even when were in the bottom of Serie A table fielded Dinho as a SS, Prince as RW, Pirlo as LCM and tried a formation of 3 defenders with Bonera in the middle and Yepes on the left - just saying.

I would play him RCB anyday. He is tough and fast and can be a nuisance to the player he marks. I can't imagine he would get as owned as Bonera gets, specially with the last goal that we lost. I know there is lots of press speculation but I don't believe that anything is decided yet. I also...

defensivly and tracking back he had actually highest stats of the team. Niang hits the ball to the centre instead of crossing, worked only once and now he just power hits it and everyone jizzes about it, Constant crosses the ball but inside of his own half to another player in his own half -...

dude, go back to playing Fifa. We should be happy that we have them both and regardless who is first choice they both should stay and the one playing less would still pick around 20 games in all competitions. I agree that he plays as Lb a bit too often while he clearily is RB and still...

This isn't the issue though. We have Yepes, Bonera, Arcebri, Yepes, Zapata, Mexes already and even though they are all average at the moment we can't sell RB to buy another CB man. Our full backs only started to gel and belive it or not both Constant and DeSciglio have way worse defensive stats...

not agreeing with Abate's transfer(if happens) but would understand it though. We could get good money for Prince but with Pato and Binho parting we just can't let him go now. Shame if it happens though as every team has 4 ok wing backs and us with Abate/Constant/De Sciglio started looking good...

Second game and second assist, could have got 10 assists last few games if there was someone to close. I hope people realise that a cross doesn't need to be a Beckam style centre as long well thought off and executed. Those low crosses from Abate aren't bad executed high crosses but they are...

There is still no real CF. If you want to score goals from crosses(not runs and attacks starting on the wings) we need someone physical there. I wish we had Borrie instead of Pazzini to be honest as with no Ibra we have totally 0 physical presence in our attack. Pazzini is a poacher playing best...

He has less talent than DeSciglio but is years ahead of him in termes of positioning and decision making. As stupid as it sounds I would like him to be tried at RCB at some point.

To be fair. Getting a less attention seeking forward who actually plays CF like Dzeko would improve the tactics we play. Majority of the time we have noone in the box and Ibra/Binho/Cassano trying individual efforts starting almost at the half of the pitch.

Maybe it is due to his personal duties on field? He was very good in defense but one of CB was moving wied right when Abate was in front. What makes you thinh that this kid showed bad attitide in a fucking Euro final lol. Just look at Milan: we play a certain, vert strickt tactic but with no...

????? I love this forum. First you guys wanted him out then to be our captain in the future. Now, after he played an ok Euro Final!!! where he was the best defender while the least experienced in a game that was lost due to the worst possible tactics by Prandelli in his life you call him average...

I am so proud of him specially considering that everyone on this forum hated him 2 yrs back lol. Abate has bronze already!!!!(there never was 3rd place game for semis loser at Euro and both teams shared 3rd. That didn'd change, did it?) Not bad for a guy everyone called a serie C level lol Go...

He was't bad. I would give him 6 easily. The defensive tactics are diferent than at Milan and Poland played very high with all formations. It was only a friendly and both teams played badly. Poland tried to play like Ajax from 90', Italy looked like they came to visit only. 1st goal solely Mario...

Abate playing his first gane against my NT on the new open stadium build for Euro 2012 - great, shame I can't be there.
