Squad for 2007-2008

[zZ[-_-]Zz]

The UEFA regulations require that next season, three of the twenty-five Rossoneri players must come from Milan's youth side.

http://www.acmilan.com/NewsDetail.aspx?idNews=39054

since there is a new regulation in place that requires us to promote 3 Primavera players into the senior squad... that leaves us to retain the services of only 22 of our current senior squad...

so who do you think should stay & who have to go? who do we promote from our Primavera squad? who do we recall back from loan?

please do not include any new signings since many will only put in unrealistic possibilities... thus defeatin' the purpose of this thread...

to make things easier... here is the complete list of our squad...

[Milanista]

Good work Dan, I've heard good things about Pozzi. It's a pity he's on loan.

 

[Tsar]

I would like to see George Weah Junior promoted from the Primavera. I saw him in his fathers testimonial match and he was really good, lots of pace and a good dribbler of the ball.

 

[zZ[-_-]Zz]

Good work Dan, I've heard good things about Pozzi. It's a pity he's on loan.

i was checkin' up on him... but he barely plays for Empoli... what did you hear about him?

 

[acerвιc wιт]

Pozzi has talent though he doesn't get play time... he is good at holding up the ball like a Gilardino/Toni type of player with good ball control from a big man. Also strong in the air.

 

[acerвιc wιт]

Antonini is good... I liked what I've seen from him down at Siena. Handy option.

 

[acerвιc wιт]

I'd promote:

- Aubumeyang
- Antonini
- Pozzi

 

[ARNOLD RIMMER]

I'd promote:

- Aubumeyang
- Antonini
- Pozzi

You wouldn't choose Marzoratti then?

 

[Don Shevdini]

I would take back Marzoratti... He has been consider by all Italy like a great talent... and for what I have seen... I AGREE.

 

[acerвιc wιт]

You wouldn't choose Marzoratti then?

We are cover heaps in the defense... no need for him.

 

[Vernetti]

I would probably put my money on Darmian getting selected for the first team. He has already had a few games and looks pretty good.

As Cafu, Costacurta aso. could very well stop or move on after this season they could promote both Darmian and Marzoratti.

 

[zZ[-_-]Zz]

here is my squad for 2007-2008... still subject to change especially with Dida's contract extension on hold... Maldini's retirement plan... new transfers... etc...

one confusion is do we need to promote 3 Primavera players from this season? or can we include those that are out on loan like Antonini... Pozzi etc?

nonetheless... assumin' the 3 players have to be from our current Primavera squad... here is my team...

Out - retired or sold
GK - Kalac... Fiori... Abbiati...
DF - Serginho... Cafu... Costacurta... Favalli...
MF - Ambrosini...
FW - Inzaghi... Borriello...

Squad
GK - Dida... Storari... Coppola (recalled)...
DL - Jankulovski... Grimi... Antonelli (promoted)...
DR - Oddo... Marzoratti (recalled)...
DC - Maldini... Kaladze... Nesta... Simic... Bonera...
MF - Gattuso... Seedorf... Gourcuff... Pirlo... Brocchi... Guerci/Lunati...
AM - Kaka... Di Gennaro (promoted)...
FW - Oliveira... Gilardino... Ronaldo... Aubameyang (promoted)...

as you mentioned we need 3 players from the primavera. is it allowed to take back marzoratti (he was in primaver team) and take 2 players from ´our current primaver?

galliani said he will take back marzo and pozzi. is it still up to date or have they changed their minds?

 

[McC]

darmian just turned 17 so i gues he may spend some more years with the primavera squad. btw, what do you think of di gennaro?

 

[McC]

btw, who are marzo and pozzi doing???

 

[Jasper]

It's not like we should have the same 3 all the time, right? Shuffle the ones who might be needed becasue of injury issues and those who are in-form

 

[zZ[-_-]Zz]

no idea if the 3 players have to be from our current Primavera squad... but i doubt that is so... nevertheless... the team i put out has taken the precaution that it might indeed be that way...

galliani said he will take back marzo and pozzi. is it still up to date or have they changed their minds?

where did you hear this from? do you have a source?

what do you think of di gennaro?

pretty decent... but haven't seen enough to say much...

btw, who are marzo and pozzi doing???

what do you mean? who are they or what are they doin'?

 

[zZ[-_-]Zz]

It's not like we should have the same 3 all the time, right? Shuffle the ones who might be needed becasue of injury issues and those who are in-form

i think we need to have the same 3... because we have to register an A list of 25 players available for European competition...

 

[Edi]

i was checkin' up on him... but he barely plays for Empoli... what did you hear about him?

When Pozzi came to Milan they said he is the new Marco Van Basten but since then his progess has been slow...

[Jer-v]

one player u are missing ??

Rimini's Digao
More and More Brazilian in milan :OMG:

 

[costacurta5]

It's three players who has been in the youthsystem. I'm quite sure of it.

The firstteamers we have today who has been in our youthsystem is (I think) Maldini, Costacurta, Oddo and Brocchi. Maybe Ambro or Borriello also?

We might se the two first retiring though... Sad but true

A lot of brazilian yes... I would like some Italian talent. We did get Bonera though... Not a star mabye, but what italian defender is better and avitable?

 

[McC]

oh i read it on caliomercato.com and gazzetta.it some weeks ago. they said that galliani made the first changes for the new season and ordered marzoratti and pozzi back.

 

[Wild]

When Pozzi came to Milan they said he is the new Marco Van Basten but since then his progess has been slow...

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmm , I wonder why ?
Wait (looking @ ur cig) , ah righttttttttttt.

 

[Edi]

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmm , I wonder why ?
Wait (looking @ ur cig) , ah righttttttttttt.

Well he was loaned to Empoli so he can gain some experience and get some playing time.If he cant be a regular in Empoli how do you expect him to play for Milan.Its not always the coaches fault as you like to point out

 

[zZ[-_-]Zz]

one player u are missing ??

Rimini's Digao
More and More Brazilian in milan :OMG:

nope... i did not miss out on Digao... i clearly mentioned that only those that has played in Serie A... Rimini is not in Serie A...

 

[Jer-v]

nope... i did not miss out on Digao... i clearly mentioned that only those that has played in Serie A... Rimini is not in Serie A...

opps
thats my fault

however,rimini will probably be in SerieA next season...
i hope.

 

[McC]

btw, do maldini, costacurta, amrosini and oddo count for next years law...??

 

[radioactivenerd]

btw, do maldini, costacurta, amrosini and oddo count for next years law...??

lol good point. they technically should, as there doesnt seem to be an age limit mentioned anywhere.
btw, ambrosini was a milan youth product too? did not know that...

 

[McC]

someone told me that he wasn't a milan yoth product, but i don't know
