    The bench had more fire power than Bologna was able to trot out and they still lost it?

    Milan needs to start buying youth because their old guys aren't doing it for them anymore.

    Not surprising at all to be honest. Milan just don't have the right manager for what they're trying to accomplish. \I agree with Agoo that they need to concentrate more on youth. They really don't need to sign a lot of players, but they need more players that compliment each other on the pitch. Kaká and Ronaldinho is not going to work out, so they may as well cash in on Kaká since they just brought in Ronny. Not that I'm saying they should transfer Kaká, but they've dug themselves a bit of a hole with this summer's transfers.

    We all know there are plenty of great young players in smaller markets right now that Milan could attempt to sign. We've posted so many in the Young football up-and-comers thread. It seems apparent that Carlo Ancelotti isn't as sharp as he used to be.

    Players that definitely need to go:

    Dida BRA
    Emerson BRA
    Giuseppe Favalli ITA
    Željko Kalac AUS
    Kakha Kaladze GEO
    Massimo Oddo ITA
    Clarence Seedorf NED


    Players that should be transfered while they can still make solid profits from:

    Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang FRA
    Willy Aubameyang FRA
    Gennaro Gattuso ITA
    Alessandro Nesta ITA


    Just retire already:

    Paolo Maldini ITA


    Concentrate on:

    Marco Borriello ITA
    Mathias Cardacio URU
    Mathieu Flamini FRA
    Yoann Gourcuff FRA
    Alexandre Pato BRA
    Philippe Senderos SUI
    Tabaré Viudez URU


    Bring in players like:

    Igor Akinfeev RUS
    Dmytro Chygrynskiy UKR
    Lorenzo De Silvestri ITA
    Guilherme BRA
    Lulinha BRA
    Dimitri Payet FRA

    Gattuso is the soul of the team and I don't think they'll let him go.

    He's been on the transfer list since last winter. Nobody wants to shell out the cash Milan wants in return. Gattuso also mentioned months ago that he would like to play in the UK again. As much as a fan favorite he is in Milan, I don't see him staying much longer.

    Where do you think he fits the best? Which team needs him?

    I don't know honestly. If he didn't have such interests I'd say Milan should keep him, but you don't want a player on your team whose mind is elsewhere, you know? I believe Blackburn were interested first, as were Rangers. However, I remember that Rangers decided to go another direction and Blackburn won't pay more then €8m for him. I believe Milan wanted €15m or so. That's nearly double what Blackburn were offering. I personally think he's worth around €12m. He may be 30-years-old, but he's still a hard-working midfielder with unlimited energy. Perhaps he should go to Everton?

    Yeah he would fit well with Arteta come to think of it.
