anyone from this forum would be better than marotta...
You'll finally have a midfielder who knows how to pass the ball, and actually passes the ball for a reason. No offense to Melo, March and Aquilani but sometimes I feel they pass the ball for the sake of passing it, they pass the ball just because they can't think of better alternative and they pass it to the nearest guy.
I watched Pirlo against Palermo in the cup and he still got it in him, he can knock those long killer passes.

He's just 31, free and the world's best playmaker at his peak. Definitely worth the gamble, particularly when compared to spending 10m+ on Aquilani. Just look at how efficient Melo's long opening passes to Krasic have been this season. Imagine having Pirlo hit those towards two quality wingers, which is what Milan lacks and which I'm sure would benefit a player like him.
Just look at what happened with Melo after we started playing with some width.

Only 31? At his peak? I'm sorry, but he hasn't been at those levels witnessed in 2006 for almost 5 years now. Granted, the guy is a great passer when on form, how many games can we expect to see him in form? He isn't getting any younger, is injury prone, and has nothing left to prove. He has won everything in his glittering career, and his refusal/extended procrastination regarding a contract extension with Milan is clearly a sign that he only cares about earning one last fat paycheck. It doesn't have to be Pirlo, Aquilani, or Montolivo. There are a lot of hungrier, younger, and cheaper (in terms of wages) players in both Ligue 1 and the Bundesliga that can offer us more, without compromising on quality.
Seriously, fuck Pirlo. I would have loved him here pre-2006, but not post 2010.
If we wish to be competitive and push for a top 3 finish, signings like Pirlo are exactly what we need to avoid. It's enough that we already acquired those two losers, Barzagli and Toni, in the January transfer window.
No need to add more fallen heroes from 06.
