Super Pippo Says Farewell To Milan

Nesta announced he will be leaving Milan for MLS.

& now Inzaghi has announced he will be leaving Milan ... with Gattuso to announce the same tomorrow.

Here is Inzaghi's letter to Milan fans:


Everything that you’re about to read is secondary to this. The first and foremost thing that I want you all to know is this: I played and won for Us. Playing and winning without sharing the emotion is nothing, but you and me, us, we did it all together. We hoped, suffered, celebrated and rejoiced. We lifted cups and won titles together in our hearts. We have always been on the same wavelength. And no one can ever take that away from us.

Dear Milan fans, when I got to the club you didn’t know this. I was in a hotel room and couldn’t leave so as not to compromise the negotiations between Juventus and Milan. The first weeks, the first months, you studied me and we watched each other.

Then we fell in love. That evening against Torino. You were angry, things weren’t going well on the field and you were in silence. I started warming up and the roar you gave me made us win the match, pushing us into the Champions League and towards that final in Manchester. These memories as well as all those who consoled me in the difficult months of 2005 and 2008 and the shivers down the spine that we felt on 9 August 2006, my birthday against Stella Rossa will always be in the bedside drawer of my heart.

Athens. Football given to us for one reason: me and you, us, we wanted is so strongly, so intensely that it had to be given. Of course the reality went beyond our wildest dreams. 2 goals, against Liverpool, 2 years after Istanbul, the seventh Champions League. Destiny gave us more than we had dared hope.

Today I would like to thank with affection and emotion President Berlusconi and Adriano Galliani: their electricity and their ability to transmit emotion for me made me stronger and pushed me beyond any and all limits. But I also want to give a thought to those who, from the youth sector to all the wonderful clubs that I’ve played for, helped me to become the man and the player that I am today.

Thank you Milan, thank you football. Allow me to call you my own, the people of Via Turati, from Milanello to the offices to the phone operators to the warehouse workers, the physiotherapists, the doctors, the cooks, from the stadium to the changing room. All the people who saw me on Sunday with the short sleeves and shook with the hope that I would score. Ciao Carlo Ancelotti, I won a lot with you, ciao to my wonderful fans who followed me the world over with affection and passion. Ciao to my team mates from today and yesterday.

Last of all allow me to thank my family, my mother Marina, my father Giancarlo, Simone and Tommaso. I never would have got here without you. You’re my strength. My dear Milan, I’m leaving you only because that the way life goes. The moment has come and you know it as well.

Ciao and thanks to everyone,

Pippo Inzaghi.

I always had a soft spot for Inzaghi before 07,the sheer joy that you see when he scores is rare these days.
Gattuso is a nasty little prick though.

Players that you love to hate as the opposition.

Players you'd love if they were playing for you.

Limited in their overall skill, but out of sheer emotion & hunger they forged brilliant careers where they won Scudettos, Champions Leagues, World Cup ... hard to argue with that.

Apparently Seedorf is also on his way out this summer....

That just leaves old man Ambrosini now.

Haven't heard anything lately.

All that I can say is that Milan are linked to Montolivo, but this doesn't necessarily mean they are not after Aquilani too - they play different positions & tactical roles.

I think they might make a play for Hamsik and finally get their man.
 
Del Piero also plays his last game for Juve this month. 19 seasons. Great player.

He is going out on loan to Cagliari and while we pick up the tab for ninety percent of his wages he has a mandatory transfer clause where Cagliari have to buy him if the win Seria A next season for an agreed sum of £19 .87 (€25) plus their third choice under sixteen keeper ( as long as he brings his grandma's bolognese sauce recipe with him).
 
Count me out of the Inzaghi love. Good at what he did, fair enough, but a guy who owed a large part of his success to out-and-out cheating and whose two offside goals were instrumental (along with a couple of appalling selection mistakes by Rafa) in losing us the CL final in 2007.
 
I'm with JJ. Never liked him. When I think of slappable Italians, I think of Inzaghi.

Translation error. He actually said he ripped out his newborn child's heart and sacrificed it to the devil to ensure Milan won the champions league in 2007
 
Isn't inzaghi the one where they say he's actually a pretty average footballer and looks shite in training but in a game he gets goals and well that's what matters .

But was never a fan of his , the chap was offside so many times it was ridiculous , even if he did finally get one right and got a goal.

Seedorf leaving is way bigger news , now he's a proper footballer . Is he retiring or ?

Hard to say. He is 36 years old, and he does have various business interests, but he's possibly the fittest footballer I've ever seen and almost certainly could play on at a high level if he wanted to.
 
This thread can go and suck my nasty red balls. Who gives a shit about this cunt? That final in athens still pisses me off to this day. Who wants to read about him gloating.

Fuck this thread right in the ear.
