Lol he is the last guy I thought would score yesterday, and he did it with his left too. Now give us some offense as well.

eve without the goal (and it was a nice one) I don't get why people want Abate out .is he a world class fullback ..no but he has shown that he can get the job done .with him and DES we have two capable fullbacks and sometimes the bad games they play are a result of the instability of the the cb's and even the lack in trust and understanding they all have .

if we want to offload fullbacks then get rid of constant and urby and bring in someone like Santon and if need be an up and coming young fullback for depth .

the bigger issue is that there are not a lot of top end fullbacks in the world right now.

Abate is one of the better FBs currently playing.

basically it makes no sense to me to sell Abate just to buy another fullback that is on a similar level for roughly the same price.

just keep Abate. He is a very good player and is a Milanista. He is vice-captain material for sure

I would like it if he extends his contract. Abate on the right and De Sciglio of the left sounds good to me. However, it is completely in Abate's right to sit out his contract and go to a club where he can earn more. Contracts are contracts and if he signed for an x period, he and the club agreeing with those terms should respect that.

If he chooses to go, I have peace with it. Then, I would like it if Milan took a closer look to Daryl Janmaat (Feyenoord, Dutch international). He has shown to handle himself at international level. He is currently Hollands best option for the RB and therefore it is likely he will be included into Van Gaals WC squad next summer. I expect his marketvalue to increase awfully a lot after that.

Abate should stay but a quality LB needs to come in.

There's plenty of games across 3 comps for Abate, DES + new LB.

Hell even Antonini said he never left Milan because he kept getting 20+ games as a reserve.

We should cash in on Urby/Constant + use Bonera/Zaccardo as FB cover.

His contract expires in 2015. Should extend and stay.
Hes a good player, a Milanista, our youth product and an Italian International. (unless there's a chance for someone like Criscito or Coentrao)

Abate should definitely stay, too difficult to replace him.

If we do let him go, we are screwed, itll be mattia going right back, which is fine, but, constant or urby starting left back. Same problem, only now we will have no good cover and an awful left back.

Abate right back, mattia left back, this is the only way frward because there is no one to replace Abate, and, abate is actually very good. It would be difficult to say many other full backs who are 100% better than abate.

Renewing his contract should be a top priority at the moment, the last thing we need is another position were we need new players.

How about real links?
MILANOPirlo e non solo. Ci sono altri nomi eccellenti nel plotoncino della Serie A che va a scadenza a giugno. Dagli interisti Cambiasso, Milito, passando per Samuel, Chivu e Zanetti (davvero lo vedremo dietro una scrivania o ancora a correre su e giù sulla fascia?) ai rossoneri Abbiati, Abate ed Emanuelson e, parlando invece di ex rossoneri, anche il contratto di Ambrosini terminerà tra pochi mesi.

That's not Gazzetta.

And they refer to gazzetta? Or else why would they write it ends in 2015?

According to gazzetta galliani inserted a extension in abates contrcat last year so hes contract should extend automatically to 2015 or else it would have ended in 2014...

Translate: Juve. Poll for Abate but the full-back and 'sotri or contract are to 2015 with AC Milan . We will get back in the summer # gds

They referred to Gazzetta about Juve's interest. He doesn't mention his source for the June 2015 claim.


The Carlo Laudisa tweet is better though. I hope he's right.

It seems Gazzetta has changed it to 2015 now.
