Serge Aurier Perfect Replacement For Sagna

Seriously? I was completely unaware of all of that. I hope he's okay. Mental illness is evil. When you have a broken leg you have a broken leg. When you have a broken mind you have a broken world.

Mattia De Sciglio really is a serious talent I think. Only 21, but has the jaded, listless defensive appetite of a 50 year old General!

hat an engine this boy has Great leg speeds!

He's already featuring for Italy at full international level now and has had scores of women wax lyrical about his big donged dalliances! Fair play.

I really do think though that Milan will not let him go.

Yeah, he's on the mend, or at least that was line given by the lads agent. At first it was all played down, but he was supposed to have been caught behaving erratically in and around the Lille training ground. For me he was one of the better rightbacks in France last campaign, probably the best. He's 23 now, so there's time for him to get himself back on track.

Milan need money. They will consider a big money offer for a right back, no doubt about it.

They're in a weird place right now. I think they've got the foundations of a pretty good squad. There's certainly potential in Montolivo, Honda and Poli as a midfield trio. And with Balotelli and Sharaawy they have some serious attacking talents.

I think a good manager could take them places.

I've heard that Seerdorf will remain in place and be given a fair few Euros to do a rebuilding job in Milan this summer. Like you say, the foundations are decent, but there's a lot of ork to be done squad wise and a few of that team need shipping out!

If he's mentally ill he's not suited for the Premier League for a few years yet.

I've seen enough of nervous breakdowns up close to say that being on the mend is the same as me saying I'm approaching the age of forty. It's true, but it's an awfully long way off (will hit that age in 2033).

However, mental illnesses are multi-faceted. I'm assuming his nervous breakdown was caused by depression, but if he's bipolar, for example, the associated behaviours mean that he's best kept welllllll away from tabloid hacks in the Sun.

You're right. I'm looking at their squad and you have to ask if the likes of Robinho are doing much. Streamlining a squad is about removing attitudes more than simply cutting down on wages.

There's one player who I love on FIFA called Charles Aranguiz. Very mobile, high stamina and a pretty tasty passing range. He was the perfect player for me. Naturally that's only FIFA, but if I were Milan I'd look at him as an excellent acquisition on the cheap with a large potential. That's the sort of player they need to focus on. They're better off trying the lesser known than attempting to buy the bigger players.

Absolutely. It didn't help that Lille's flambuoyant chairman promised him the world and then p!ssed in his face.

Lille are a great local club, but their chairman is a right character, getting himself in all sorts of bother shooting his mouth off.

And then all that business of him being subject to a potential prison sentence(which he's since been let off) for financial-irregularities and racist dancing... You couldn't make it up!

You seem to have quite a knowledge of these things. How do you find the time Moist?
