AC Milan`s Retiring Legends

The 2011/12 campaign for Milan was a struggle in Serie A and a constant battle to maintain the fitness of many players. With Juventus not losing a single league game, it would have taken more than Milan`s efforts in 2010/11 to compete with an amazing Juve side. Although Milan were very close to retaining their title.

Massimiliano Allegri job seems to be safe dispite the rumors, however Milan do need to move forward and strengthen their squad if they are to complete for Serie A next year. The one thing in my mind that Milan didn`t need was 5 veteran senior team players retiring all at the same time. With Inzaghi, Gattuso, Nesta and Van Bommel all set to retire and Seedorf leaving in the summer, what do Milan do. Sure they buy and replace but in doing so it`s almost creating a whole new team that may take time to settle and gel. Players like Cassano, Flamini and Ambrosini are not 100% reliable when it comes to fitness anyway, and with Pato in bad form and also another player prone to injury, Milan`s chances of taking that top spot seem slim.

Milan have already added 2 midfield players to their new spuad, Bakaye Traore and Riccardo Montolivo. Lets face it it`s been a long time coming that Milan needed a clear out, but who would have thought it would come all at once!?

The one thing Milan need to make sure is that Ibra and Thiago Silva go nowhere. The best 2 players by far at the San Siro. While Robinho (who has a much more team working style to his game now) should stay. The last thing Milan need is to copy Inter and change managers every few months, the feeling is that depending on Milan`s signings it could define next years season.
