Milan has the best Midfield in the world. It takes a very optimistic person to think that Tiago, Almiron, and Nocerino would ever be that complete. Pirlo is a far better passer and defender than any three DM's on our roster. Gattuso is the best DM in the world, and Seedorf, Ambrosini and soon to be Emerson will just add so many amazing options for a Milan team who will dominate us if we think we are going to start Almiron and Tiago in the same midfield. Central midfielders need to win balls and work hard, not make sweet passes. I wouldn't classify anyone of our midfielders except the pimple faced youngster, Nocerino (who has never seen top flight action). Tiago is a good option because he is a hard worker who is smart, but Almiron is a poor mans version of him. We needed a ball winner in the midfield. Hell I would have taken Sissoko next to Tiago. The retard would have been more useful to us IMO.
