Tuesday Milan Musings
By: Gianfranco | January 22nd, 2008-While I work today my DVR will be diligently recording Atalanta-Milan. Remember this is the game that was postponed after fan riots following the death of a Lazio supporter. I have yet to decide whether I rather this game now or then, either way we need the points. Atalanta is not really high in the table and I do not feel as though three points will be all that difficult to take from them, but nothing has been easy all season long. It is tough to tell if Carletto will bring out the big guns or rest them, I hope he has learned from the B-squad he fielded against Catania.
-I caught a glimps of the saves Kalac made this weekend, and I have to say it was as breath of fresh air from Dida. Kalac is not the answer for the future, but hey if he is keeping balls out of the net then why not go with the hot hand?
-Anyone else think Ronaldo looks a bit ridiculous in cornrows? Bring back the ‘fro.
-The ‘Dinho talks are borderline heavy and I am afraid that Inter are playing Fester and company for fools. Mancini made a passing that mention that Inter would join the bidding war for Dinho, personally I say let them have him, and see if we can swing Suazo back. I just hope the Milan Brass understand that it is unneccesary to enter a bidding war to save face, I do not want ‘Dinho and I am sure many of you feel the same way. Due to the past losses of Ibra and Suazo I do not want tihs Ronaldinho debacle to become a must sign to make up for past mistakes.
-The January transfer window is nearly closed and it is looking less and less likely that we will recieve any assistance for the rest of the campaign. That does mean that Fester and company are not working dilligently to secure the names and agents of possible summer transfers including Amauri, Drogba, and Zambrotta. The summer is a long way away, but I hope they are thinking about it as much as I am.
-Carletto was named coach of the year for 2007 by a football statistics bureau. He won this award over the likes of Fergie, Cappello, and Mancini. Many of these awards are arbitrary and completely useless but neverthelss the accolades continue to pile up for Carletto who has quietly become one of the best coaches of his era, and despite my lack of faith in him lately, and the possibility that his time at San Siro has run its course, it takes nothing away from the fact that he has some good old fashioned success. A few more scudetto would have been nice, but hey beggars can’t be choosers.

Gianfranco, i’m hoping that you forgot to record the match tonight, as having watched it, i’m quickly trying to forget it! Cant believe we didnt take the points (not even one solitary point!). Its just not good enough!
Pirlo, as always, played well, but there where some dreadful performances tonight, Favalli, Oddo, im looking in your direction.
As for ‘Dino, im sure ive mentioned this before, but as long as we have Kaka Barca can keep him (or Inter can have him) as i dont feel he is what is needed at Milan.
Gianfranco, totally with you 100% regarding the transfer window and Carletto, its been a loving/dismissive relationship at times but his tenure at Milan must surely be over. Im sad at the idea that we may not get any new members to add to the squad before the end of the month as having flashbacks of tonights match makes me think that we may struggle to finish forth this season.
Roll on the new manager and new (younger) players.
Forza Milan?! (whimpered).

not bad first half, terrible second half. as if milan were just passing the ball up front and just losing it. and the defense screwed up only a few times, and these few time were dangerous which resulted in 2 goals. Pato missed an unbelievable chance, i was sure it was gonna go in. we just did not execute well. hopefully we’ll take a win against genoa @ san siro.
as for any transfers, just bring some very good defenders who can live up to the Milan defense history, baresi->costacurta->maldini->&nesta. plus a goal keeper and as soon as Benzema is on the market jump on him and splash whatever you have.

but pirlo remains our king.

Avia, don’t worry, I’m not mad at the messenger
I’m just frustrated, like I’m sure everyone else is. The bad thing is that things are not going to get any easier from here. *Le Sigh* I basically just escaped from everything today by watching “Whose Line Is It Anyway?” clips on youtube. Highly recommend to all. Hope your day is better, mate.

I watched the second half and felt sea sick….don’t ask why….I can’t believe we lost. It was so stupid…those three points were supposed to be ours back when the game was supposed to take place…they looked like they were asleep or something.
