[Sheik Yerbouti]

we should had do that and then he reject us. like i care i don't want him here and i am totally not happy with this transfer

Why? Because we have a good passer in teh midfield?

I've heard that quite a few times in the past, apparently he's a big personality and is quite the prankster aswell.

I hadn't heard that, but I don't assume people are as laid back as they may appear.

I always look disinterested, but often I am merely indifferent.

Well it doesn't really matter if we don't keep Aquilani because are on the brink of signing The original "Injuryman"

Untrue.

His complete injury list in last 3 seasons :

2010-2011 season :

Without any problem until January, he played 14 games in Serie A, 5 games in CL and 5 games for Italy. He first get injured for about 20 days which most of it was in the winter break. after that he played one game and then injured again for 2 weeks. He was going to return on 7 Feb, but got injured again in 11 Feb, this one was long and he was out until 25 march (some 45 days). then he was available for the remaining 3 months of season but only played 3 times as a sub. some of the games not even on the bench.

So this season was:

20 days : right thigh strain
15 days : right biceps femoris muscle contracture
45 days : right knee medial collateral muscle strain

2009-2010 season :

Injuries : none
Played total of 43 games in all competitions, including 34 games in Serie a, all of his absence was because of yellow card limitations and red cards.


2008-2009 season :

Got injured in the beginning of season,thigh injury which kept him out of play for two months. then returned and played the rest of season and only missed 2 games none of them because of injuries.

so it is :
2 months : thigh injury


Before that he played more than 40 games (sometimes even 50) in every season.

Honestly,Pirlo is one of my favorite deep laying playmakers,not that there are many out there,but he does have a few specialties that he can bring up. One of the things I love about him is that He does not lose the ball when in possession, the way he can just easily change directions,either forward,sideways or even backwards,which sometimes is the best way to go is pure class. Yes I am a little disappointed that he got a 3 year contract instead of 2,cos I dont see the point of the 3rd year until he shows what he is capable of in his 1st and 2nd year. So with Pirlo I think we have a much better passer,than Aquilani but This move would only make real sense when Juve gets 2 great fullbacks who can help in attack as well as at least one exceptional left winger.

With his age progressing its not going to get any better

Its plain logic

So now Milan get to speak about quality? Interesting.

Btw, now that the likes of Maldini, Pirlo and soon Nesta' are gone, Milan will look like bunch of scumbags and thugs with players like Yepes, Zlatan and Robinho.

what is so scumbaggy about Robinho or Yepes - Zlatan, I know ... and I wouldn't worry about Milan losing their quality players soon ... they will find a fix for that starting with T. Silva and Pato and hopefully soon enough with Ganso, Kwadwo and Fabregas

 

[Alen]

I believe he looks worse largely because of Milan, as a team, not moving as well as they did back in the days when they had guys like Cafu and Shevchenko moving brilliantly off the ball and always offering Pirlo passing options.

Luckily off the ball movement is Juve's main strength.

 

[j0ker]

I wonder what would people say if it was Moggi that signed him instead of Marotta?

 

[Alen]

And stop calling Pirlo a grandpa or an old man. He's not old, he's young. He's only a month older than some young people I know.

when the player in question is one of the best registas in the game for the past 10 years, some would say the very best, I wouldn't worry if he won't be getting any better

He forgot Prince, easily the most hateable Milan player.

Indeed.

Krasic is fine on the right and Matri and Quagliarella move okay.

It's just a good left back or left winger and some good coaching that is required.

No-one gets close to Gattuso.

Indeed? Our off the ball movement is the worse I've ever seen.
Only Quag and Matri get a passing grade for their OTB movement.

I wasn't referring to his play, it was about his age and what comes with it

 

[Trequartista]

No-one gets close to Gattuso.

Tell that to Joe Jordan

 

[Juventino★★★]

welcome Andrea
he is much better than Aquilani even in his 30's anyway, i just hope he stay healthy through out the next season to provide us the calmness and creativity and tempo control in midfield.

 

[Dostoevsky]

I wonder how much are we paying for his wages.

I know you were being sarcastic.

Krasic doesn't need to move much if Pirlo is in the team.

If he just stands in a vaguely sensible position on his wing, Pirlo can ping the ball out to him.
