he clearly never wanted to go. Ladri kidnapped him and brainwashed him.
Yeah & also clearly he was motivated in Milan since he is a pro :lol:

Some people say we lost the title this season coz we lost him & I say we won it last season coz he wasnt playing & this season we were so close if not for injuries & ref mistakes despite having a full house of shit midfielders simply coz we got rid of his boring ass :cool:

Milan have only ourselves to blame for Pirlo. Max is a top coach, who replaced Pirlo with Bommel and look what happened. And by the way Milan couldn't do anything to stop Pirlo from joining Juve since his contract was expiring. He was free agent!

Whatever guys. Pirlo proved us wrong. By us, I'm talking about Milan. Everyone including our management thought he was done, past it, etc. No, he's not. He's not average, he's not boring. If you watched serie a this season, you would know who between us and juve played better football. No, he's reason why juve won the scudetto. I know its hard to take, but thats the damned truth.

I'm out.

We suffered more when VanB was away much more than when he played.
So despite VanB being on a decline & old as fuck he was able to give us what we wanted.
Imagine Milan being semi ambitious & bring a monster as an anchor , forget about it.(always wanted to use that line :D )
Thats how much he add for Milan that a washed up player could offer more to our current tactic.
But same as with the Sheva & Kaka we failed to replace simply coz we are stupid enough to think that its gonna work no matter how we bring.

I believe we can't put any blame on Van Bommel with this whole Pirlo discussion. Van Bommel did his job very well. He is obviously a different player from Pirlo; our way of playing has changed by stopping using Pirlo as deeplying player. We lack creativity and so? Not Van Bommel's fault, he was an excellent anchor, look at the other midfield positions instead, because that is where we should have had the necessary playmaking, but we didn't. Blame management not for letting Pirlo go, but for letting Pirlo go and start the season with a lack of playmaker(s). Van Bommel FTW!

Lack of creativity? Blame the other midfielders. Weak defense? Blame the other midfeilders for handicapping our boss and the shit defenders. Back to square one, with a little twist - dlpb (deep lying pseudo boss) :proud:

Not his fault of course. Its the management's.

I'm thinking that if we can't afford someone of true quality, keep nesta, mexes, boner and yepes (if he's fit) and sign another cb. Move silva to the holding role and vuala ...

Thiago Silva moving to midfield means weakening the defense a lot. I truly believe Thiago Silva is the reason our defense is solid most times, without him, I expect it to be weak. Van Bommel in front of the defense also is important for the strength of our defense, he and Thiago Silva (as central defender) are key for our defensive part of the team.

And as long as your see Van Bommel as a Pirlo replacement, you talk gibberish. You expect Van Bommel to be the playmaker Pirlo is, which you can't, which is not why is he here. He is not that kind of player, they are different a lot. Milan's squad lacks playmakers, or you think it doesn't? You think Van Bommel is a playmaker? That he is one with lots of creativity?

{edit} to clearify it more:

Van Bommel is signed to replace Pirlo's position, not Pirlo's role. Allegri wants a defensively strong play in front of the defense instead of a playmaker. The role of playmaking should now be elsewhere in midfield, like RCM with Aquilani, but of course he gets dumped, or Seedorf somewhere, but he is done. Juventus' midfield is kinda opposite, they have the playmaker deep in the middle with defensive power around him...

Don't hate for Van Bommel for not being Pirlo, but understand the differences between positions and roles. And if anything, Van Bommel as anchor made us defensively so much better/stronger (we received less goals against) - we just lack playmakers...

GreatKalu the Great will never get that. Van Bommel is way better for this Milan than Pirlo.

someone get kalu the amount of tackles nocerino/urby make when they play at CM, muntari actually makes tackles but doesn't offer much in terms of attacking movement.

pirlo fits jube, it's that simple, Milan don't need pirlo, Milan need a younger anchor like MVB.


the only regret is that galliani didn't sell his ass back when he was under contract and wanted, instead Milan had to deal with an overpaid lazy average senatore for 5 years.

He probably even forgot Pirlo was moved to LCM anyway, because of Allegri wanting a defensive player in front of defense...

Well, Van Bommel has been excellent for Milan. Great signing. But it's not like Pirlo couldn't have been also important for Milan, just he didn't (anymore). He often himself he lacked motivation, which I could tell (damn...) - and then a player is either worthless or at least a lot worse than he can be. Therefore Pirlo leaving was good. I just wish we played Aquilani as starter instead of dumping him like this, or even better: that we had signed at least one more playmaking player.

Pirlo was playing pretty well at LCM when he was moved there, and he was having a great game at Roma before they hurt him to slow him down. When he was out Dorf played great.

And while he may not have been the most motivated at the end of his time here, he was always a pro. He consitently covered more ground over the course of the match than our other players and intercepted a lot of passes.

Until Ibra came what did our management really do to suggest that we were really focused on winning? Players notice when the team brings in a lot of mediocre free or cheap players and lets the team get old and slow. When Ibra came that suggested that things are changing and I'm sure that helped to motivate the older players that felt we were actually trying to win again. When we made it clear we didnt want Pirlo, Juve made a pitch to him that they were strongly driven to win again and they wanted to make him the centerpiece of their project. that makes sense that he would want to go there, and with a team constructed for his strengths they and he have excelled

Basically what you guys are saying is ... its not VBOss' fault ... its the squad he plays with. Well, isn't this the same thing people who appreciate Pirlo were saying while he was here? And if thats the case, then why give up on our main source of creativity in the middle for this brute who ... like it or not ... HASN'T been solid defensively this season. Do you guys remember that pass to the fodder striker in the UCL group stages? I mean honestly ... that was as colossal an error as you can find. Solid? Fuck no. Even fairy, slow, weak, "watch my hair!" Pirlo ran circles around this so-called boss.

I told you last summer itself that this guy wasn't good enough for Milan. And after a below-average season, Milan still wants to keep him? For what exactly? Acceptance of mediocrity which is what VBoss is? Fuck that shit. I want this loser out :o

Think of it like this: Juventus were only able to win the Scudetto due to a player that Milan had created a player who we pretty much didn't need to win the 2011 scudetto- I can live with that :D

Too bad that scumbag played like a lame duck here after 2007.

And how do you know pirlo never worked hard enough einstein? Did you train with him everyday? Did you get any news of him partying all night long and not turning up next day? Did the coach say he was anything but a model professional?

Its the stupid theories that annoy me. Van bommel apologists feel its fine to say that he had an average season because he was made to play with idiots and he basically ended up having too much to do. Yet when pirlo had bad seasons because we decided to go with oldest most static lineup ever :thumbsup: he is supposed to put more effort. Honestly take the current juventus pirlo and place him in 2008-09 side? would it have made any difference? NO. FFS he got 6-7 assists this season from set piece situations. You think that would have happened at Milan? A resounding NO. We have taken a solemn oath to not score any goals from set-piece situations :proud:. We chose never to base our game on pirlo , Juventus did. Dont bitch and cry because they are reaping the rewards. :fp:

I am 100% referring to what I saw on the pitch, and he didn't try hard enough there. That was easy to see for me, and later Pirlo admitting he lacked motivation is a logical explanation, which I did figure was the case with him.

People have kept the standards of trying hard as running hardcore for 90 mins and slapping people's faces like rino. Andrea can never do that. He will always have the lazy style about him.

And its quite naive of you to take his comment when he was leaving to generalize his motivation for the last 4 seasons. When the coach doesn't want you , there is hardly anything to do than look for ambitious project elsewhere. Dont expect him to just stay here and stay on the bench . He has proven this season that he is worth far more than that .

Dear GreatKalu the Great,
that is some really useful work, it's highly educational to show pics of the Van Bommel vs Pirlo duel. Based on your logic I should make some artwork where Nesta, Gattuso, Costacurta or Maldini couldn't get the ball from their opposing players since it clearly demonstrates that they are worse than their opponent.

You are a big mentor, you daily give us something that provides a general education. :star::star::star:
