The decadance and revival of AC Milan: How Chelsea should take a slice from the Rossoneri 's cake

[Spike 12,049]

AC Milan are playing very attractive Football this year. Allegri's quality is extrememly evident with Robinho. Robinho is playing like everyone wanted him to at Real Madrid and Manchester City. Last night Robinho assisted 2 of Ibra's 3 goals, he is becoming a CAM and not a CF. If I do have one fault with Allegri is that he has neglected Pato, who in my mind without injuries should be the third best Foward in the world only behind CR7 and LM10.

Also what is decadent about AC Milan?

so you rate pato higher than aguero?

[bluephoenix 1,131]

always been behind the managers ... yes at times frustration takes its toll but I always felt that a manager easily requires couple of seasons before you can tell whether he would succeed or not... I wanted to give CA this season but our board had other ideas ... I would give AVB the next 2 years as long as I see some progress , while we are among the top 4

No, but he should be better. He probably will never be now, but he should have been if he wasn't injured half a season every season. They are both very different players too, I think that Aguero is the perfect player for the Secondary Striker position like Baggio (Italian), Del Piero (Italian) and Totti (Italian) while Pato is a pure Striker like Ronaldo (El Fenomeno), Fernando Torres (Pre-2010 World Cup) and Ibrahimovic (Swedish Arsehole/Genius).

I've heard a lot of Milan supporters complaining about Pato's performances, saying that when he plays, it's like playing 10 against 11. Maybe he's not the right man for Allegri's schemes.

These are the same AC Milans supporters that were wanking over Pato saying he was going to be better than Messi. He played well last year under Allegri, so he is just having a bad season. If continues to underperform next season then sell him as there is nothing to be gained by pulling the trigger early.

I can assure you, here in Italy all the supporters think they'll do better than the gaffer, if they were him.

If continues to underperform the only thing difficult will be finding a team willing to pay 35M € for him

All supporters all over the world are like that. Hence the reason idiots sing "You will get sacked in the morning" to AVB.

I don't think so. Carlo Ancelotti is very fond of Pato and was a somewhat of a father figure for him when he joined AC Milan. PSG will buy him like it is nothing.

Another good example of a football club that hasn´t been all that and now finds it way back to the top is Borrussia Dortmund.

CL winners, several Bundesliga titles, European football, decline, misery, no way out, and now they are producing the finest football in Germany and look more settled than last year. They gave Klopp all the time he needed and he was respectively young and came in with lots of different ideas compared to the conservative Bundesliga.

Amidst all the negativity, this is the best I've read today. Nobody seems willing to sacrifice short term success for something more lasting these days.

It's not really "short term success". People tend to think that if we sacrifce a season to let AVB make his mark, all will be good the next season.. Think again..

If we fail to qualify for the CL what will happen?

• We will lose a shit load of money in revenue and sponsers.
  
• We will fail to attract big name signings who want to play CL
  
• Failing to attract these signings will again fuck up our domestic campaign and we will end up outside the four unless we pay big bucks which it looks like we won't be doing.

instead on wasting money on big signings we should have done a better work with the reserves team!
