[quote=“Rudi, post: 867696, member: 1052”]Looks like Galliani is on his way out. He said as much to the media yesterday and there has been talk of this for a while now due to a personality clash with Barbara Berlusconi. Paolo Maldini is the favourite to replace Galliani. It will definitely be strange not to see Galliani at the San Siro, he has picked up some bargains in the past couple of years but his frugality has also held Milan back as they have missed out on loads of talented players for nominal amounts of money in football terms.
I read an interesting stat about Domenico Berardi this week, he has more goals in Serie A at 19 than Del Piero, Totti, Gilardino, Vieri, Balotelli and Pato amongst others had at that age. He has also taken less games to reach that landmark than any of those mentioned:
Berardi (7 in 9)
Pato (7 in 13)
Del Piero (7 in 17)
Balotelli (7 in 23)
Vieri (7 in 26)
Gilardino (7 in 52)
Totti (7 in 62)[/quote]
Silvio contradicts Galliani and says that he stays!
Very enjoyable game in store in the Derby dell’Emilia, a cracking goal from Cassano levelled things up after Bologna had opened the scoring. Five yellow cards and 2 goals in the opening 35 minutes.
Milan have gone 1-0 down against Catania after Bonera’s block loops over Gabriel in goal and goes in. Very much against the run of play as Milan had been pressing well and that was Catania first real attack.
Stunning finish from Montolivo brings Milan level. Deep looping cross to the back post and Montolivo runs on to it and sidefoots the onrushing ball first time out of the air and across the goal into the back of the net.
I’m a big fan. I think he benefits from being granted a freer role in midfield which I don’t think is exactly what United need. He’s been very inconsistent at Inter but he’s a big goal threat from midfield and has great athleticism with a rocket of a right foot. I think for the price mentioned it would be a good deal for United although I do emphasise they need a different type of midfielder.
