Anyone who watched Diego at Bremen will know how good he is. Even at Juventus, watching objectively, he was good and not great and therefore the scapegoat, as it came down to coaching and the team.


Milan don't need to have proper replacements. If they need to replace Zlatan, then they need to get rid of Pato. He's more than good enough so if he's not the answer then it's time for him to go.



And Nesta was better than Silva but whatever.

diego is a established player but after he left werder he never reached that level of play again... so yeah he wont make a big improvement for milan... they need much more than that

and lol nesta wasnt better than silva the past few seasons

Because he's defense.



Grinder, I apologize, but your team will have no chance of winning the CL.

Like was already said, he was great for Atletico last season. Not good, but great. If someone gives him the chance, he'll be great again.



Nesta played with Silva 3 seasons. Silva was certainly not there that first year. The next two years, hype carried over. As a Brazilian, with a friend who gets about every bit of hype (especially with Brazilian players), I sat there when my friend would call me to concede the point. If not for Nesta, Abbiati along would have cost Milan a title and a CL birth.

He's better than Gareth Barry and he's a solid defensive mid.

No apology necessary, at this point, I'm just hoping we get out of our group.

I disagree on Barry. Maybe after the injury last year. I think barry is criminally underrated.


To be fair, he's also playing servant to Mancini and the club, when his game offers so much more than that.

I agree that he's a very underrated player and has great tactical awareness but he's lost a ton of pace over the last year and at times becomes a liability on defense.


Reus, Kuba, and Gotze....jesus, that's a lot of pace. Glad we have the more disciplined Zabaleta in rather than Maicon who tends to get caught out of position more often.

[alenleomessi]

dzeko was wide open zaba embarrassed himself he is dreadful when he comes near to the goal

[alenleomessi]

if gotze has a good game, he is at the etihad next summer

I'd rather have Reus

typical for a city fan you guys always want the wrong players
gotze is on a whole new level

and great half so far, should have been like 2-2 already
