Momo had more accurate passes in one game, and contributed more to our attacking play than Nocerino did the entire season.

You mean he actually connected a few passes, pulled forward with the ball, got in scoring oppurtunities, had a penalty on him, was involved in both offense and defense?
Seriously, people here think too much of Nocerino and statements like "he's no worse than Gattuso was at the same age" make me laugh. Milan always had some spart of creativity in their midfield, we are not in the position we "mould" our own Gattuso. Both Zanetti and Sissoko are defensive but offer at least something going forward, Nocerino doesn't.

Yeah, imagine that. A player in our midfield who actually doesn't look like a Chevy pickup on steroids. Amazing.
Indeed, Nocerino isn't anywhere near the level of Gattuso right now. I'm also sure Gattuso wasn't this poor when he played for Rangers, which consisted of the player even being fielded at right-back.

Of all that has happened I think it would have been more benefical for us to have instead kept marchisio, after all he was used to playing for us, he started virtually all of our games and I think him and zanetti made a good paring, but with nocerino it makes it as though zanetti is our only central midfielder, not to mention marchisio's attacking is 100x better and he can defend equally as well, or even better.
I'm still not convinced Sissoko was worth the effort and cost, but he is definitely an upgrade on Nocerino.
As well, I don't think he is to blame for his "acrobatics." That penalty was the most disgusting abuse of a referee's authority that I've seen in a long time. There was zero attempt to foul or to hit the player... it should have been an indirect free kick for a dangerous play, if anything at all.

Without a doubt this guy was superb on saturday. Honestly i thought he was the best player on the pitch! Did you see how many times he won the ball back, and i'm surprised no one has commented on how many headers he won in the middle of the field, he only lost one, and the ref gave us a freekick cus it was a foul. This guy is definitely a great buy, and i think his game is definitely better suited for italian football than for english. I admit his passing isn't sublime, however even if he loses the ball he wins it back just as quickly. I wasn't happy with his decision making in attempting an acrobatic kick, but he didn't do it with the intention of hurting the player. I have high hopes for this guy, and i know with more playing time he will develop into an absolutely fantastic defensive midfielder! He definitely is one for the future.
If you watch the replay of the incident from the left side you can clearly see that Sissoko leaves the ground prior to the Reggina player even being close to him. Then you can see the Reggina player jump into his path diagonally and that's where it appears to be a harsh move. The funny thing is that the ref had the best view!
