Hernanes is on his way to Inter. a group of fans found him after training begging him not to go, but had nothing but kind words and wished him the best... prompting Hernanes to give them his cleats and start crying

This is what I call great fan base.

Very classy but also look at Hernanes. What a great character he is.

I can't help but root for Milan, so much crazy in one team is just delicious. When Tevez losses his mind at juve I hope he joins Balo and taarabt in Milan. With Honda, montolivo and all of the young midfielders that club could be sporadically fun to watch with the most rock n roll plan of action. He'll of they got a defense they could even storm back into a CL spot...maybe...

Immobile >>> Bonera lol

Milan better hope Rami can defend also...Bonera should never be playing, let alone starting.

noteworthy transfers:

Fiorentina -- In: Matri (Milan), Anderson (ManUtd)

Inter -- D'Ambrosio (Torino), Hernanes (Lazio)

Juventus -- Osvaldo (Southampton)

Lazio -- Postiga (Valencia), Kakuta (Vitesse/Chelsea)

Milan -- Honda (CSKA Moscow), Essien (Chelsea), Rami (Valencia), Taarabt (Fulham)

Napoli -- Jorginho (Verona)

Roma -- Nainggolan (Cagliari), Bastos (Al Ain)

Sassuolo -- Ariaudo (Cagliari), Manfredini (Genoa), Sansone (Parma), Biondini (Genoa), Floccari (a, Lazio), Sanabria (Barcellona/Roma), Brighi (Torino), Cannavaro (Napoli)

Award to best January transfer market must go to Sassuolo. Doing exactly what you'd want your relegation zone team to do. Other than that I'd have to imagine D'Ambrosio and Hernanes will be stars at Inter

Worst goes to Parma for bringing Molinaro back to Serie A.

Props to West Ham for taking formerly good players Borriello and Nocerino, and also Armero who was by no means a fan favorite at Napoli

Sassuolo also got Alexis Zapata from Udinese. Kid is from the same school as James Rodriguez, Quintero, Guarin, etc.

Armero will also do well in West Ham, the open field style of the EPL will fit his game.

Good buys for Inter. Let's see if they finally get it together.

Juve up on Inter already. Guarin not in the game due to all the transfer drama.

He used to be a good defender. Maybe he hasn't found his form after being out too many long spells due to injury...Roma prefered Benatia and Castan over him so he only played a handful of games so far this season. but as far as I know he is on Genoa now ?

Yup, it's sad what's happened to Milan clubs.

Not that he would have made much of a difference, but Inter should have played Guarin. Juve is too good to face without all of your main players.

They said he wasn't gonna play today still because of the whole non transfer. They definitely needed him and Hernanes. D'Ambrosio came on and actually made a little difference for Inter but the game was already over.
Ricky Alvarez is worthless. Palacio blew Inter's only 2 chances.

I don't know who I think will snap out of their funk first, Inter or Milan...I see no way that either of them finish top 4 next year let alone this year.

Simple, they sold everyone. They are feeder clubs for the time being

The fact that they bought 2 good players in the winter transfer gives me a bit of hope that Inter might start heading in the right direction next year.

for Milan I'm wondering if Rami is someone who will be worth signing this summer...basically waiting to see if he can defend. It isn't hard to find a defender better than the guys they have: Mexes, Zapata, Bonera, Silvestre. Silvestre and Bonera are good enough to be starters on a Serie B team. Mexes and Zapata solid, i would say they are first center backs off the bench for a champions league team.

Honda was a good signing but I would not say he's better than Boateng.

Seedorf likes to play a 4-2-3-1...
With Abate and De Sciglio as fullbacks this is perfect, but Abate is often injured. De Jong/Essien/Montolivo/Poli are good defensive center mids but two of them are very old and Montolivo under-performs too much for Milan. Robinho-Kaka-Honda is mediocre...Kaka is nothing like he used to be. This formation also leaves no place for El Shaaraway who will be back beginning of March

Nicolas Burdisso played on Boca last summer? The only Burdisso I know came from Boca like 10 years ago to Inter where he was error prone but solid. He got better when he went to Roma, where he's been since a couple weeks ago when Genoa bought him.
