The thing is, even with his stroke, Cassano had a much more productive season than Pazzini. He is just a much better player. To swap him and give 7m is just mental. No logic in the deal whatsoever.

Thiago Silva holding the team together turned too real. He got sold and the can of worms is let loose. I don't see how Bojan or Pazzini can be the replacements for Cassano.

Bojan is just overrated, 'cos he has Barcelona DNA. He maybe can prove himself, but aside from some decent pace, there's nothing special about him.

 

[Dr. Pepper]

I think Bojan has the talent but just doesn't have the mental strength to be a top class player. Replacing Ibra puts a lot of pressure on him and I'm not sure he can handle it.

inter.it - Pereira: ?Inter, everyone?s dream in S. America?

When people talk about the best left-backs in the world, this guy criminally isn't mentioned. Top signing for Inter this.

Read that article, some really important points raised there about loyalty.

Brilliant result for Rome at Inter. Totti was absolutely outstanding. Truly believe Zeman's the man to bring Champions League football back to the Red half of the eternal city.

Expect young Alessandro Florenzi to make the national squad in a few months time. Top talent.

 

[Auwais]

Classic Zemanlandia, it's like he never left.

Btw, Pazzini scored a hat-trick on his Milan debut. The hat-trick goal (back flick finish) was just class.

 

[Bevab]

Hehe, he might just prove to be a decent buy after all.

milan have a very good record buying players from inter.

pirlo and seedorf were steals for them and became club legends.

their team actually looks pretty good were it not for the gaping hole in centre defense. they were chasing a highly rated french defender in the summer and you just feel if they'd managed to get him they'd have quite a nifty first team. it's not great on depth but there's enough to mount a good serie a challenge, although too light for the CL.

That was Yanga-Mbiwa and he's in his last year of contract. The owner of Montpellier is a complete idiot (google pictures of him and his hair and you'll see why), so he'd rather get no money for him than sell him. Opens the door for him to go to the San Siro next summer.

or january, but it depends.

if they get on quite well in the CL they may look for re-inforcements in transfer window.

see they've got the injury ball rolling again. montolivio, boateng, robinho and pato all out.

 

[Bevab]

All the obvious get injured again?!


Milan are hell unlucky, but atleast they don't create off sympathy for their injures like Arsenal and Manchester United.
