One feels the time has come for Milan to decide; to persevere with Pato or allow him to leave. There have been numerous reports this season that the club are willing to sell him should the right offer arrive. Indeed, in January he was almost sold to Paris Saint-German, and despite being offered €35 million, [...]

It was October 20, 2004, when Milan welcomed FC Barcelona to the San Siro on match-day three of the Champions League. Much like today, both teams were clearly the best two in their group. Much like today Barcelona sat in first position, Milan were in second. And much like will be today, the team that [...]

It has been a week to forget for Milan fans. Mainly because of what happened at the Juventus Arena on Sunday night. It was a match that highlighted nearly everything that is wrong with this current Milan side. Too old, too slow, too tactically rigid, zero creativity, Ibra-dependent, Nesta-dependent, did I miss any. Oh yes, [...]

On the 17th January in 2001, Ronaldinho made his entrance into European football by signing for Parisian outfit, Paris Saint Germain. It was a move that came as a surprise to many as most South American starlets normally head straight to either Italy or Spain and often times Portugal. But as it would turn out, [...]

There has been increasing reports of late that Real Madrid playmaker Kaka is set for a return to Milan, the club he left just over a season ago. There has also been the suggestion that if Kaka does make a return to his former club fellow Brazilian, Ronaldinho, will depart ways with the Rossoneri. It [...]

After last week’s efforts against Ajax it was clear the Milan’s new young coach, Max Allegri, was still trying to configure the best possible way of utilising his players. Having experimented with a 4-3-1-2 system in Amsterdam, it remained to be seen whether Allegri would continue with this same system after his side collected a [...]

On match day 2 of the Champions League, Milan played out a nil-all draw with Ajax in Holland. It may only have been a draw but in the Champions League a draw away from home is a positive result. This is no different for Milan especially considering how historically the Amsterdam Arena has not been [...]

About this time last year I wrote an article that addressed the dire state of Milan and the club’s somewhat uncertain future. A year on, not too much has changed. In fact, with the indecision of the board to decide on who will be Milan’s coach next season, rumours surrounding the possible sale of the [...]
