Now you jinx it

Milan developing and bringing along a 16 year old properly would be parallel universe stuff

 

IMO this is a premature thread. The only real time he was tested was the Berardi free kick and that one didn't go well. But other than that he has had very little to do in the games.

He does seem quick and with a good positioning sense but I'm yet to see him make a great save.

 

I agree with brick, it's a bit premature. I only watched the second half against Chievo & I can only remember the save against Paloschi & the horrible timing at the end but he was bailed out by the ref. I watched highlights & the guy definitely has the potential, but he's damn 16. Let him be, ease off the pressure & let's hope he turns to be the keeper we think he could be. In all honesty, I don't think his run will end in a good way if he keeps the starting job for the long haul, not necessarily his fault, could be another drubbing like Napoli's...

 

the horrible timing at the end but he was bailed out by the ref.

Timing was good, grip was not.

 

Donnarumma's agent, Raiola:

If the club can return to its international appeal, I think he can be Milan’s new Buffon. That’s what we’re all hoping for.

If the crisis were to continue at Milan though, other decisions could be taken. Not just by the player, but by the club, as they did a few years ago with [Zlatan] Ibra[himovic] and Thiago Silva.

That is to say, if you believe you have an important product, then you can try to sell it.

We’re thinking positively though, we believe Milan will return to the Champions League and he’ll be the Rossoneri goalkeeper for the next 20 years like Buffon has done at Juve.

Worry not guys. His agent, Raiola, has already a plan in place for him

 

Mino is his agent?
Forget about it ...

 

I think it's another Raiola. Vincenzo Raiola

 

There ia more than one Raiola on this world? impossible ...

 

?

 

Its the same Raiola p


And way too premature indeed. He is very very young. But Brick put it well, you should get hyped when you gotten the opportunity to show you are real phenomenom besides your age bit. He hasnt been tested for real yet. The flawed moments more noticeable in the two games. Berardi goal was not impressive (was fooled by wall placement, should be able to read this type of tricks with time), neither was the poor handling in disallowed Chievo goal. But he will for sure have more opportunities to show if he can hack it and grow with experience. Its not like Miha has much to lose. Milan conceaded alot of goals with Diego Lopez in charge, so a shake up was needed, even if this was a fairly shocking one.



I'm more impressed by that Calabria kid the times he gotten the chances. Biggest surprise, plays really mature, good defending and something that is nowadays rare, football IQ plus a good cross.

 

Agreed on Calabria, I hope we can hold on to him. On Donnarumma, I am excited for the future, but the point has been made and it is time to give Lopez back his starting position.

 

Of course it's premature. That's why it's fun and why we can dream. The kid still broke an all-time age record is getting lots of attention. And he is called Gianluigi for ****s sake.

He might turn out crap or just not work out and you can say again too premature and even that I jinxed it. Or it might indeed very likely be a move to get Lopez to get back to form. But also he might turn out a good long term useful player or even legend, and then it was still premature but I'm a visionary (or I just read the sports paper more likely and bought the hype). I enjoy that this is at least some kind of possibility. Even far-fetched hope deserves a thread in present-day Milan. This might be the FM player in me, but to me this is more exciting than most of what we have week in week out.

 

Agreed on Calabria too by the way

 

Was impressed with Donnaruma since the pre season. Hope we dont ruin him, otherwise he will be top 5 gk in the world.

 

Agreed on Calabria as well. Kid's maturity on the ball belied his age.

 

This current hype and exposure will benefit the kid and his agent when it comes to courting with clubs that are interested in taking him on loan. This should happen during the winter mercato. Let him get some regular game time at a smaller club, where there is less chance that the expectation and pressures will have a negative effect on him.

 

Lets hope he doesn't demand a move to a Napoli like team... I liked Gabriel at Carpi, but he really blew it moving to Napoli.

I think people are hyping up this guy. Donnarumma is promising but lets not get ahead of ourselves. And I still think Gabriel should come back.

 

We will sell him for a good sum

Legend. 3 games, 3 wins.

Feels game against Lazio is insecure, takes out Alex for Mexes. Mexes score 2 minutes later. :musik:

 

:howler:

 

D Lopez is out injured, so he is all we got

 

That is a bit harsh on Abbiati

 

Sounds like he did really well against Atalanta. Promising.

 

A word of causion: Scuffet :neutral:

 

Another clean sheet!

 

While he has looked shaky, especially first games, his record so far is pretty astounding for someone that just debuted. Especially considering what kind of team he plays in. Interestingly I could argue that he might return the early faith showed in him (mistakes in first three games), by now looking much more solid. So when you dont have bono managing the team a youngster isn't put on the bench after he make some mistake due to nerves on his first game. But now bono is fortunately only working in another shady business, so we need not to worry.

 

Bring back Calabria into the first team.

play more primavera players.
i'd rather see some italian kid next to romagnoli instead of alex and mexes

 

 

that looked even better than I expected. Gotta defend Neuer though, his saves per goal is destroyed because Bayern have no shots against them. I heard that they would top the bundesliga even if all shot against them counted as goals!!!
