AC Milan Team Talk/Gossip/Rumours Thread

GTR63

Ugh I hope Matri isn't coming on. Mina on BT could say anything and i'd agree.
Yey! No Matri

Seaneh

Ninag will score a brace!

Seaneh

Mario off for Robinho, please.

And Niang through the middle.

Seaneh

And Muntari for Poli.


WTF does Muntari offer, really? He's totally anonymous in most games!

GTR63

Get Niang to swap shirts with Mario who looks like he is nearly looking for trouble. Next goal is huge says GTR like my cop out brother.

Seaneh

If we lose tonight, it's time for Max to go.

He's been given an impossible task, but he's not doing himself any favour.

Seaneh

Shoot me.

Moneymaker

Jesus, comedy defending.

Galliani looks to be leaving to answer another earache call from Berlusconi who probably isn't even watching the game.

He must hate Silvio at this stage.

Galliani: We need to sing 4 players to compete, I need money to sign good players

Silvio: Sure we'll get a few free transfers and youngsters and nobody will notice

Galliani: /facepalm

Fiorentina haven't even been at their best tonight and they've been so comfortable. Embarrassing.

They've been ****e.

Milan have had all the ball for 80% of the match, they just can't do anything with it.

Yup, totally toothless and can't defend for ****e. Totally lifeless. I think most sides in Serie A would have gotten a result tonight. Wouldn't go as far to say Fiorentina have been ****e but they can certainly play way way better.

Has to be the final nail the coffin for Allegri, surely.

For most of the game, Fiorentina have been ****. Milan have had far more of the ball, but when Fiorentina do attack, they seem to have space and pace, Milan just wander aimlessly with the ball and can't get and space, not putting balls into the box, just no spark at all.

It's too easy to defend agianst, all fiorentia need to do is crowd the middle of the park, because Milan have no width, and when they do, the fullbacks are out of position and fiorentia hit them on the break.

And yeah, I'm a Max fan, he did a fantastic job last year, but seeing as they aren't backing him with money and players he needs, then he needs to walk away, for his sake more than anything.

13m
Milan fans unfurl a banner that essentially reads 'We did warn you we needed a defender and midfielder...' #MilanFiorentina

Seaneh

Rami and Honda can't sign quick enough.

We need more than just 2 players though.

A goalkeeper is a MUST.

I have faith that Gabriel will come good, but he's not ready and the other two aren't good enough either.

Moneymaker

Yeah there are more problems then simply blaming Allegri. But the players look disinterested and completely lost and he is responsible for that.

No clue where they go from here tbh.

One upside is Mina Rzouki is on BT Sport :P

The only upside of the nite. My knee's went weak when she said "They spend 11m on Matri & never brought in a defender."
Never wanted a woman more

Smithwicks Man

Disgraceful. Watched the game in the pub tonight for once and I wish I had more drink in me when it finished. Toothless, clueless, heartless... Embarrassing.

Broke up as far as I know.

Surely Montella should be first choice if we're looking for a new manager?

Hard to say.

Could always use the "recruitment policy" that was so successful with Nesta :pac:

Smithwicks Man

Can't see Montella being that interested tbh. He has a really good shout of doing something with Fiorentina and Milan looks like a write-off this season altogether.

I'm guessing Allegri will stay another short while and will then be replaced by a temp (possibly Tassotti) until Prandelli is ready to take over after the World Cup.

Invite him up to Milan and politely "suggest" the best place to further his career would be Milan.

In fairness, the reality is Nesta only left Lazio because they needed the money.

Milan made the offer and the Lazio told Nesta he was off, he didn't ask for a transfer.

GTR63

Noticed that Balotelli is suspended again the weekend(for that idiotic push on Neto) and came acrorss this on twitter. Balotelli has scored 87 goals in his career. He has been booked 79 times and sent off 6 times. He must of practically missed a dozen games suspended with us in a year.

GTR63

Milan Squad for Barcelona:
Abbiati, Coppola, Abate, Bonera, Constant, Mexes, Zaccardo, Zapata, Birsa, De Jong, Emanuelson, Kaka, Montolivo, Muntari, Poli, Balotelli, Matri & Robinho.


Awful isn't it
As bad as Sky's spanish commentators.

Nice goal by Cristante earlier today, hope the link works btw had to do it by phone.

Birsa better not start

Himself and Muntari will. Our squad is so ridiculously bad at present I can't even pick an XI.
Abbiati; Abate, Mexes, Zapate, ? ; DeJong, Montolivo, Poli, ? , Kaka' ; & Balotelli.
Wouldn't trust Constant or Emanuelson at left back or Matri, Birsa or Robinho up top. Nocerino can't even make the squad now?

Smithwicks Man

Constant will start LB , Robinho should start up top but probably won't

Birsa and Constant will start as will Muntari

Will probably be one of the worst Milan XIs in my 15 years or so of following Italian football. Jesus wept.

You know it!

Although Muntari is actually well suited to games like this as he has outrageous stamina. It's the games against weaker sides that are the problem as he has no creativity and Poli is better suited then.

Will someone answer me as to why Valter Birsa starts ahead of Robinho?

Also, SES was supposed to be back for this game :mad:

He will make his return in a friendly against Young Boys I think its November 16th. Rami will play in that also.

What game was it that Robinho, Birsa and Matri played that was our worst frontline in about 30 years

Ahh fe**ing friendlies. Even worse than proper games :rolleyes:

Was it Juventus by any chance? Either that or Sampdoria/Udinese.

Robinho should start ahead of Birsa in all fairness. He's not as bad as people make him out to be and he's certainly in a different league to Valter, who (despite some nice moments such as his 2 goals) is out of his depth.

Smithwicks Man

Birsa doesn't start, but neither does Balotelli :eek:

Abbiati; Abate, Mexes, Zapata, Emanuelson; Poli, Montolivo, De Jong, Muntari; Kaka; Robinho

Why? Just why?

GTR63

Barcelona:
Valdes; Dani Alves, Piqué, Mascherano, Adriano; Xavi, Busquets, Iniesta; Alexis Sanchez, Messi & Neymar.
Barcelona bench: Pinto, Montoya, Bartra, Fabregas, Song, Tello & Pedro.
Milan:
Abbiati; Abate, Mexes, Zapata, Emanuelson; Poli, Montolivo, De Jong, Muntari; Kaka; & Robinho.
Milan bench: Coppola, Constant, Zaccardo, Bonera, Birsa, Balotelli & Matri.

Smithwicks Man

What formation are we playing?

I mean, after the back 4

We have what?

Poli ---- De Jong

---

Muntari

---

Montolivo

---

---

Robinho

---

Kaká

---

???

Seaneh

De Jong infront of the back, 3 central midfielders and Kaka behind Robinho would be my bet.

Seaneh

Starting urby on the left means he's expecting himself and Abate to push on a lot to provide width.

Great shout, that'll be it

GTR63

This is pure crap to watch(vintage acm this season). The little amount of times we get the ball we're handing it back to them often and Abate is totally isolated at RB.

Seaneh

Neymar, you diving little git.

Ignazio Abate was made look like Ivan Drago there. Take off Cuntari and Kaka already.

Smithwicks Man

Neymar goes down with minimal contact as fu**ing usual.

The refereeing has been totally pro-Barca so far, Mascherano should have been booked and how was that not a fu**ing foul on Kaká before Muntari's yellow??
