    I agree. For some reason Gilardino doesn't seem to flourish in Milan or doesn’t have that big impact on the team. I think a change would be good for him and Milan.

    ACMilan should use him via trade to get a good goalkeeper, we need one, Gilardino he's good, but for some reason he can play well in the AC.

    So you're not confident in Kalac for next season?

    I can understand that. But IMO, I don't think spending money on a GK is worth the value because I see 3-5 GKs in the world that make a significant difference, after that Kalac is on a similar level to just about any of the other 40-50 keepers outside of those listed below.

    So, unless Buffon, Cassillas, Cech become available, I'd stick with Kalac.

    I'm not confident in Kalac or Abbiati which he's going to be back with the ACMilan at all.
    Who i'm hoping we can get are, Amelia or Frey otherwise the AC is in trouble.

    I was reading in the Gazzetta that Juve is very close close to sign Amauri. I like him a lot.

    For now I'd stay with Kalac too, but definately we need a GK because I don't think Dida would accept to be the backup GK, so probably he'll leave.

    btw, this past december there were rumors here in Mexico about our national goalkeeper Guillermo Ochoa as a candidate to replace Dida:

    http://www.sportsya.com/english/new..._goalkeeper_Dida.html?id_estruc=283&id=167118

    He plays on the most disliked/hated teams over here, (C.A. América) because they're the richest team in the mexican league and sometimes they believe they can buy everything. (even the league) but it would be great for me to have a fellow mexican in the AC. I think he would be the first.
    He's young (25 I believe)
    If you've never heard anything about this guy... here some plays.

    Gio, Ochoa looks good, I would not mind at all if the ACMilan take a good look at him.
    I know what you mean about the America, I personally like la Chiva, all Mexican Players.

    Ochoa is a hell of a young keeper. I have always been impressed with him.

    Sidenote: I can't STAND Dida.

    While I particularly don't care about Mancini, Moratti should keep he's mounth shut and what he needs to understand is that the ACMilan did dominate the game big time. Mancini did nothing wrong, he was trying to contain the AC, playing a short field game trying to find the ACMilan uncover and score. In my opinion he had no choice.


    Moratti shut up or you will win the Jerry Jones trophy!

    The funny thing about that is with all the money they have, this season America is at the bottom of the league, really pathetic, I think they've won only 8 games. :sidelol:
    They have this slogan "Somos todo lo que tú no eres" (We are everything that you aren't) :001_rolleyes: .... yeah, we're NOT the last team in the league! :lol:

    But let's change the subject, I don't want to talk about this team anymore. :thumbdown: :wink2:

    Yeah they are having a horrible year, I couldn't for the like of me figure out how they were cracking the Top 30 teams ranked by FoxSoccer.com. My Dad & family is a huge Chivas family, since most of them are from that region of Mexico.

    According to the Daily Mirror:
    Didier Drogba, he will sign a three years deal with ACMilan and link up again with former Blues chief Jose Mourinho, who likely to be replacing Carlo Ancellotti next season.
    I did find the same confirmation on the Gazzetta.....I don't know how to feel about this.

    I like Drogba, but I'm totally not sure about having Ancellotti moving aside for Mourinho.
    I guess I feel that Ancellotti he's a better coach then Mourinho and he was a great player for the ACMilan and you always like to keep your own peolple.

    Really? I was. He had problems with everyone in the organization throughout the whole season and he had trouble with certain players like Eto'o and Ronaldinho. I thought it was a matter of time before he got the boot in the *** lol.

    SWEEET. I am very happy to hear this because I hate Chelsea and I like Milan and Drogba. Milan pulled off a great move here as I think Drogba is a world class striker. Hes very very good and knows how to get the ball in the back of the net. Great move Milan.

    I'm with you Alen, Barcelona could compete for the championship, but by the way they were playing the last month and basically this season, unfortunatelly for them, they couldn't do that, and losing against Real Madrid 4-1, well ...

    Is not always the coaches' fault but somebody has to take the blame for it, despite Rijkaard won CL 2 years ago, two times La Liga, and 2 Supercups in Spain in 5 years, coaches in the world-class clubs always gonna be in the hot seat, still they did a decent job in this CL though.

    Drogba would be a great sign and I love Ancelotti for all the trophies he has won and everything he has done for Milan and sometimes a change is for the best but in this case, I don't know...:confused2:

    Good to know that bro.
    When I saw your post yesterday it was too late, apparently you had left, I couldn't reply fast enough because I was trying to find info about Ancelotti on the Milan site.

    My apologies for that Alen.:sad:

    The only possibility left to the ACMilan to be in Champions, is imperative to beat Udinese next Sunday and Fiorentina needs to tied.
    I'm still totally upset.
