Thiago Alcantara

[LoveCity]

I think United may have someone else in mind...

That will throw a spanner in the works if that happened. Moyes worked well with Arteta so this might have some truth in it.

How well does the team press? Could you rely on Thiago and Montilivo in defense as much as going forward?

Niang behind Mario? Would that work?

What if Kaka returns?

kaka is never coming back. ever. fuck him, to be honest

montolivo is actually a very strong defensive player... usually plays as our anchor, but still has smooth as silk passing and long balls.

our main issue has been retaining possession and lack of strong passing. this formation and this set up, imo, utilizes the team in the best way possible.

niang I actually meant to have out right, with saponara in the middle - good catch. Niang and el sha have both shown a phenomenal ability to track back when needed

The team needs building around Mario, do that and Milan could potentially be Scudetto winners.

Im not worried about the scudetto, that'll come definitely.
The goal for Milan is always Champions League.
We are buying smart, savvy, and slick... in 2-3yrs I see this young team blooming into world crushers.

But not before then

Bryan Cristante - just remember who told you this name. Chelsea tried hard to grab him off us under the radar for big $

and we are praying Mastour keeps up what hes doing, because as of today, he looks like one of the best ever for his age

I'll say this for AC, he knows his f*cking audience.

The thought of THAT on the same field with David Silva is enough to give a person goosebumps.

Juventus at going to be considerably stronger next season though, they will improve big time because of the Champions League.

Llorente is signed, Higuain looks set to move there...

Juventus need competition big time, Napoli give them a run but Cavani needed to be on for all season. Plus Napoli didn't beat Juve this season did they? They would have needed to beat them at least once.

If Milan are in the run in around April they have a chance.

Don't you have forums of your own you can cream over? Are you actually Italian or some bloke in Essex with a weird fondness for AC Milan?

Why do you believe he isn't welcome on this one? Wherever he's from,and whoever he supports,is irrelvant,he brings decent debate to the forum which is all that should matter.

The irony is,you,yourself,have only been here 2 mins.......

Agreed.

Besides Cesc and Arteta both being Spanish I don't know what one has to do with the other.

It'd throw a spanner in the works because Barca wouldn't sell both.

I'd fear Cesc at United, though I don't think it'll happen.

Mastour is a freak. Incredible.
