Hope he covers for all Yepes positions too. Dont trust him at all. Reminds me of Karagounis, totally devoid of any technique and is picked purely to be clumsily in the way of the opposition

If they played Flamini instead of Ambrosini, that would be quite decent. They need to look for a replacement for Pirlo soon enough though.

Flamini, Gattuso and Ambrosini can all play at a high level still. Use the one/ones that are in top shape.

Why? Pirlo is only 31, we still use Giggs at the age of 36? (not too many months left before he goes 37), Giggs is still among the top 10 playmakers in the world today.

I bet players will go closer and closer to 40 the next 5-10 years. Clubs are far better at stretching out after training and matches and players are going to get older than the ones getting old in the nineties. In American sports such as NFL, NHL it is a lot more regular for players to go into their forties. I think we might be following them.

And by the way, when you criticizes Milan for old ages, don't forget the co-ownership deals, they co-own several younger regulair Serie A players. It seems likeo they own Genoa as they could loan Boateng the secnd they got him, and despite Abbiati playing today, I bet Amelia will get he goalkeeping spot.

Because he hasn't been at his best for a while. Gattuso is finished as well.
 
Shocking defending right there.

Hat-trick in half an hour, lovely third. 29 goals and 10 assists in 34 starts this season, not bad at all.
 
I don't understand pple not rating him saying he's a big game bottler and all that, he's a superb footballer. Exqusite ball control as well, i would say better than Berbatov/Messi/Iniesta

They say it because he quite often is a big game bottler. Sometimes he'll perform in the big games, but often he does go missing in them and it's not really a myth.

A more accurate description would be that he struggles against top quality defenders who can cope with him. Obviously, most of them play for bigger teams. As a player, he's a bully. He relies on his power and presence to rip apart opposition defences. Once he meets a defender who can match his power and presence though, he suddenly becomes very limited as a player.

I'm not saying that he can't ever rip apart good defenders, but there's no doubt that quality defenders are able to handle him a lot easier than most can, and that they can limit him.

You don't say...
I'm sorry for the mean and cheap sarcasm but don't you think it makes sense that he'd find it harder against better defenders ?

No, I'm not saying that he finds it harder against defenders, it's that he's a lot more ineffective against them when compared to other top strikers like Van Persie, for example, who can still deliver against any opposition.
 
I get you now.I think he only truly hasn't performed in the big CL matches.In Italy he's done it time and time again, against the best teams.

Those Champions League matches are crucial though for the teams he plays for. It's always going to be a slight dent in his profile for me if he has a poor Champions League record when he retires.
 
Please don't bump old threads. Start a new one if necessary, although in this case there was no reason to bump an old transfer thread about Ibra when any discussions about his goals last night should have been in the Football Forum.
