Allegri: "Pirlo's replacement will be world class"

Kwadwo Asamoah of Udinese and Marek Hamsik are named as the most desired "Pirlo replacements". Now, both are very good players and have terrific potential, but I don't know if we can call them world class so I don't know what exactly and who exactly does Allegri have in mind when he talks about the world class Pirlo replacement.

I'm not quite sure they'd use Hamsik at Piro's place as he's more of an attacking kind of player. Kwadwo is great and I hailed him since 2 years ago, but again, he's box-to-box player so dunno if they'd place him there. Either way, both are great players.

On the other hand, they might know a thing or two, unlike us. Maybe they are waiting for FIGC and their confirmation about 2 non-EU players, so we'd see Ganso's arrival, which would be even worse for us.

 

[Powis]

Don't think so.

It's meant to be under consideration.

Hmm.. Bastos' agent said it's true.

Just look at the last senctence of that article about Bastos signing.

When he talks about a Pirlo replacement he doesn't mean a player who will play the exact same role Pirlo played. It was obvious that this year Allegri used different tactics and someone with Pirlo's characteristics had no place in his line-up.
So, when he talks about a player who'll replace Pirlo, he's talking about a midfielder, not about a deep lying playmaker.

Van Bommel and Ambrosini will be the players for the deep midfield role, so they are really looking for a player to take Ambrosini's traditional place in the squad, playing a bit to the left and getting up and down the pitch, I would imagine.

I know, but I still expect them to sign somebody who'll build up their play, and Ganso would be exactly that.

People may expect it to happen, but I don't think any rule change is confirmed yet.

Fabregas

Ganso/Pastore or Diego, as a cheaper option, would slot in behind the strikers but Fabregas seems to be the "dream signing" for the creative midfielder role ... Barca and Real would be tough to beat though to his signature.

Javier Zanetti has rated his managers at Inter.

He said Hodgson & Lucescu were 8s, Simoni & Cuper 9s, and Leonardo & Mourinho 10s.

He also named two games he'd love to replay: Juventus-Inter in 1998 and Lazio-Inter in 2002

Here is to Inter winning the Cup so that Leo can stay a 10 :burke:

Fabregas

My gut feeling tells me Felipe Melo will be on sale this summer and Galliani will make a move.
My years of following Milan and Galliani also tell me that right now there isn't a specific name and when Allegri says that Milan will sign a world class CM, he doesn't know the name himself yet, so when Galliani signs a midfielder, that particular midfielder will be the promised world class Pirlo replacement, even if at this moment they still don't know that he's the world class guy

 

[Quetzalcoatl]

My years of following Milan and Galliani

I see...

 

[Alen]

I see...

I mean, "My years of following AND supporting Milan and Galliani".

That's more like it.

I see your moonlighting as a Juve fan is showing it's effects - you are starting to actually believe that Galliani is copying from Marotta's "How to" book

No worries, Galliani knows the name already and his new best buddy Mino is already hard at work

As for the Melo connection, Milan is looking into Sandro for that type of player, so feel free to keep Melo to yourselves :evil:

I'd hate to see Melo in Milan, so I'll more than likely keep him here. He just seems like the type of player Milan won't miss out trying to get, if on sale.

that is indeed not far from the truth but Melo has had too many "gone mad" moments in high adrenaline games and Milan would likely prefer a more level-headed player ... there is room for only one Gattuso in a team, after all

What did I ever do to you?

Melo to Meelan would be the perfect summer

oops, my bad, I forgot - Melo already belongs to Milan

There you go

Maybe I'll transfer to AC Milan forums after the summer
