It's because Pato and Ibrahimovic are incompatible.
They are both pretty static forwards, so Milan become reliant on brilliant play, which becomes even harder because no-one is running off the ball to create space.
That's why Robinho, for all his limitations, is a very important player in the current Milan team.
Not as ridiculous as Amauri winning 2nd place for 2011.
Amauri had an excellent 2011 with Parma and then he didn't play a single second for Juve. If anything, he did much better than expected in 2011. As far as I understand this "award" is given to players who didn't fulfill the high expectations.
Sneijder for example should have been a strong candidate, together with Milito, while Krasic should have won it.
Well, Melo did get a stupid red card on the first match of 2011 and after that things went to hell. Both Juve and Melo were below average. Then we loaned to Galata the guy we bought for 25m eur.
I guess Melo in this case represents Secco's stupidity so it's actually Secco who won the 2nd place
Bad news for fans who have access to RAI International in their country. Due to the Italian Government performing spending cuts (due to shit economy) they are massively cutting down on the funding to RAI Int, therefore most of their Serie A/B coverage will go. I think the most we will get is La Giostra Dei Gol game on Sunday, and perhaps La Domenica Sportiva. Terrible news, even though the sound and picture quality sucked, they still broadcast 4-5 live games a week. Apparently this will take effect on the 1st January 2012
I don't think Serie A games will be effected, I think its only the shows which are produced by Rai Int and cost them money to make, La Giostra Dei Gol will start to be produced by an outside company so it will stay on the air
