WOOOO HOOOOOOOOO Sandro!!!!

drucurl · Jan 5, 2009

Not impressed

....the article says that he'll return to ITALY not playing on Jan 14th.....who knows how long the rehab will be from then on.....Also Nesta just returning from injury over the years is probably on the level of Favalli for the first three games before becoming the defensive colossus we all know.....I don't expect the real Nesta to surface before March.....when we're on the homestretch of our campaign.

I agree. It will be only his arrival to Italy. Only God knows when he will be playing this season. But a bit optimistic wouldnt kill though. At least he is soon will be back to Italy.. imagine if he is still stuck in US and he just needs times to recovery after that, still a good news ^^

radioactivenerd · Jan 5, 2009

I absolutely love Nesta. I think i'm gay for him.

I read that he was coming back as i was surfing the net during a meeting today and nearly jumped out of my seat.

Actually Favallinho has been pretty good this year. If Nesta returns and starts playing like him I'll be impressed.

i agree w dru. If he was going to be ready by the 14th we'd make no bid at a CB.... I dont think he'll be match fit till mid february IF WERE LUCKY. Back injuries r awful, I doubt we'll see him more than 5 matches this year....

i can only imagine first time theres a corner and some goon like materazzi knees him in the back.

you guys have to know, we wouldnt look at any cb's if they were even 50% sure nesta would be back and capable soon

David-Regal · Jan 5, 2009

Even though we are not sure when he can return to PLAY, at least this is a great step forward. Forza Sandro!

Mercado · Jan 5, 2009

he will be back if he said so, he always keeps his word

Boban1982 · Jan 5, 2009

Great news at least Sandro is positive. The sooner we get him back the better.

When sliced up and change the name to girl's, it will sound like someone's pregnant

crazy4milan · Jan 6, 2009

He sounds way more positive which is good news. We still have to cross fingers that if he comes back, he comes back at least at his 80% (I'm not as positive about him comming back at his best, considering his age and all the injuries through his career, your body just starts to not respond the same way).

Madridista · Jan 7, 2009

Happy to hear he is trying to overcome his problems, but I'm far from optimistic that he will be able to come back and consistently play at the top level. Maybe he should just call it a day or leave Milan. Like this, the only thing that happens is Galliani counting him as an active player and believing Milan don't need a worldclass defender because 'we got Nesta, he's coming back'. :head:

Forza AC Milan · Jan 8, 2009

forza Sandro

hope Nesta makes it back

a 75% Nesta is better than all our current defenders

GreatKalu · Jan 8, 2009

Nesta should take his time and come back when he's fully fit. And yes, I'd put him directly into the starting XI because he simply is THAT GOOD. Remember in 06-07? Made his first appearance after a long time out against Roma, and was easily our best defender. His next game, I believe, was against Bayern, and I remember him easily out-pacing Makay to a ball.

Difference is, he's a professional ...

Wow, he outpaced Makaay, the speeding bullet. :rolleyes:

Played great against Roma, Bayern, and... ?

Sigh, here we go again. Nesta IS THAT GOOD. In fact, he is the best defender out there when fit. Yes, he is a professional, although there isn't much use of it when you have chronic back injury. Every player that earns his wages from playing football is a professional and thus does everything he can to return when injured. The problem is sometimes no matter how professional you are, there's as much you can do when youre injury prone.

I'd be more than happy to have Nesta in the squad and wait for him to return from injury, if Galliani stopped lying everybody including himself that because of Nesta's pending recovery Milan don't need a worldclass centreback. But since it isn't so, I want him to move on and wish him all the best. After all, he is getting paid for doing nothing for a long time.

GreatKalu · Jan 8, 2009

He isn't doing nothing. He's working at getting himself back on the pitch, as reports suggests. Unlike your fancy's visits to the lesser sites of towns ...

One's a professional ... the other, a fat ***.

crazy4milan · Jan 8, 2009

Ok guys. Stop provoking.

Guys?

Nesta is doing NOTHING to help Milan on the pitch for months. You can say fat *** a thousand times if you like, it wont change a thing.

Erik77 · Jan 9, 2009

Even if he is going to play 10 games in season,even then he is worth all of his wages.Because then we can be sure that everything is safe at back

Cristina · Jan 10, 2009

Words of encouragement for Nesta from Maldini: "Nesta can return stronger than ever, he is the best!"

Grande Pirlo · Jan 10, 2009

Long live the general! I truly miss him, he makes defending an artform, not many defenders does that nowadays. I think that Maldini, Baresi etc. have to start a school in central defending. Teaching the arts of it and the tactics.

Just imagine all od them teaching Silva! I hope he really will turn into a world class CB next year and with Nesta alongside, we can finally have a very strong and reliable CB pair!

Armin__m · Jan 10, 2009

Don`t fool yourselves people. Other players might learn something from Maldini and Nesta,but not much (they just have to have it in their genes or whatever).
Just look at Kaladze,he`s been here for a very long time and he`s just getting worse as the time goes by. (Maybe he`s just extra dumb,but I don`t think that`s the case).

I think that his problem is that he didn't get their knowledge from the start, so he still has his "old style" of playing and acting on the field. Hehe, can't deny I was really pissed off when the bastard got the ball on his hand/arm three games in a row with one giving away a penalty and the other free kick in a dangerous spot outside the penalty area.
