Report: Gila agrees Milan move (1 Viewer)
- Thread starter Zlatan
- Start date
I'm not pissed simply because I'm used to Moggi and the rest of the Juve management fvcking around like this. We always miss out on the top players, if we get a striker it'll be someone like Caracciolo, Iaquinta or Nonda as opposed to a Gilardino or a Torres. I wouldn't be surprised if Rosicky and Riquelme end up signing for other clubs and we get Ledesma or Bresciano.
I too don't buy this "Gila is overrated" line. Overrated by who? His mom? He didn't show in the top 50 of the FIFA World Player of the Year awards, and I am expecting something similar for the Ballon d'Or. So unless we're all expecting him to shoot fire from his ass when playing on the pitch, I don't see how he's not living up to the level of regard he's currently given.
He plays for a talent- and economics-decimated team in Parma (now a major relegation battler) and has still managed to be the 4th leading scorer in the league ... ahead of Boijinov, Totti, and certainly Zlatan. This and he is still only 22 years old with a huge potential career ahead of him to get better.
Sour grapes in this case, I'm afraid.

Stuart, this time around I think the one that had the most say in why we didn't get GILA and ended up buying Zlatan is CAPELLO!
He is the kind of coach that wants players HE approves!
I think if it hadn't been for Capello we would had seen Trezeguet be sold and we would had bought GILA.
Janku and Gila, more or less Milan tied according to the media!
Even Pizarro is being linked with Milan these days...

Sour grapes? Anything but.
Im afraid Gila's statistics flatter to decieve. Sure, he had a phenomenal season last year, and he's doing just about alright this year. But surely, being snapped up by Milan in itself is in a sense an overrated move. 15 mil? I for one, dont feel that transfer fee is justified. On one hand Parma are relegation battlers, well they probably would have been better off had Gila been worth the 15 million price tag. He's young and one super season has put him on the transfer lists of the bigger clubs, but I think in this case as a Juve fan if given a choice, I'd still stick with a tried and tested Adrian Mutu. One may argue, that at 22, hes got the potential and time on his side, but if that is a yardstick, Appiah and Kapo just became more eligible.

Capello certainly plays a crucial part in the transfers and I agree with you, he's the main reason if not the only reason that Trezeguet is still a Juve player. All the signs pointed towards a Trezeguet departure and the purchase of Gilardino but Capello joined, Trez signed a new contract, and Gilardino was forgotten about. Cap knew what he wanted for this team, but I can't say I agree with it. His plan was for us to be as solid as possible at the back and efficient in attack, hence Trezzy being an integral part of his plans and two holding midfielders getting the nod as opposed to a more attacking player. Don Fabio has avoided taking risks unless absolutely necessary and the lack of creativity in midfield means that we don't create as much chances as we need to when we play 4-4-2. The trident attack has been an improvement, but as of now we haven't seen it in action against a big team. Del Piero has flourished when played alongside two forwards and given the side a bit more imagination in recent weeks but it remains to be seen if the 4-3-3 will be used regularly.
