Gattuso

Apparently we are being linked with him in the Italian press.

Now, it could be nonsense, but if there's any truth, I would be delighted. An excellent all-round midfielder, exactly what we need to break up the opposition's play and heaps of experience at the highest levels.

Come on Commoli, get us Gattuso!

Yes. he is as hard as Edgar Davids. He can definitely teach Jenas and Lennon a thing or two about passion.

I can't see him leaving AC for us to be honest, especialy as he fairly recently extended his contract to 2011.

I wouldn't say he's an All-round midfielder as he's hardly a threat on goal, he IS, however, a good defensive midfielder. Which would mean bye bye Zokora.

Luka Modric now that IS possible. That or jump ahead of Sven and nab Diego.

I'd welcome Gattuso at Spurs. Quite frankly I'd have him instead of Zokora anyday. He's got a few years experience in the SPL and his missus is Scottish meaning it shouldn't take long for him to settle in the EPL. Go for it I say even if he's 30.

The only thing i concern about is .

In AC Milan they are playing a formation with no winger .
Each of their job is clear . The "Rhino" Gattuso is a destroyer which he just hv to pay 100% in defence while Andrea Pirlo as an Anchor and take the job in distributing with two AMC Kaka and Seedorf.

But we all know Ramos is a side-attacking believer which he definitely won't playing without wingers (Whenever he took out neither Steed or Lennon during the match , JJ was then forced to move to the side).
And suppose we're playing with 2 foward. We are mostly play with 2CM.

Gattuso is a world class defensive midfield . But compare to those who're playing the same role as him , like Makelele , Roy Keane etc. They are gd in destroying but at the same time once they won the ball , their distribution is gd , but for Gattuso we all know he's very average

When playing 2CM it's better to play with two more comprehensive players
The case of Gattuso is little bit extreme , he's nearly a pure DMC like Steffen Freund tht you won't expect he partake of attacking and organizing even just a 10yards pass in their own court. This will make his partner workload more intensive.
We all love to see him wear the white shirt but sorry i dun think he could help and change much and he's not the most suitable one , if we keep playing 2 central midfield. Hence i would like to see Ramos to try for 4-5-1 in the remaining season.

Gattuso is one of my favourite players. Yes, he is predominantly a destroyer, but that's what we need - someone who is so good at that role that we can relieve the rest of the midfield of much of their defensive duties. This would allow the more attacking formation that Ramos favours.

Near the start of the season we were complaining about the large proportion of goals being conceded from outside the box. Some were attributing this to our defensive midfield players not performing, i.e. tracking back to help the defence or not getting block tackles in. Gattuso would fit the bill perfectly. In fact, I'd argue that a player with his characteristics would be essential in any attack minded teams playing with two wingers or attacking wingbacks, as is The General's preference.

But what would I know?

Like Davids he is deceptively skilful - don't let the destroyer rep fool you.

However his Scottish wife has reportedly told him that he can only re-sign for Rangers if he wants a return to Blighty.
