AC Milan Searching For Defenders

Chelsea Defender Branislav Ivanović

MILAN (SW) - Italian club AC Milan are desperate for defenders to help jumpstart the new Serie A season.

With many Milan defenders aging more and more each passing year, and recent injuries to Alessandro Nesta and Kahka Kaladze, Milan are looking for what seems like young, tall defenders to fill the void.

Recent news has pointed Lazio defender Guglielmo Stendardo to the Milan club, however there is also talk of a loan move for out of sorts Chelsea defender Branislav Ivanović.

Reports suggest that Chelsea and Milan will seal the deal tomorrow. Thoughts are that Milan midfielder Kakà may be part of the deal as Chelsea have expressed great interest for the Brazilian ace.

Perhaps they could sign Thuram out of retirement.

Really, Milan do need some quality young defenders...especially after being thrashed by Chelsea and losing to City.

i have a couple of young USA defenders in mind that could do well if given the chance.

They probably sign an experienced defender as Tonto, it wont be odd because Ac Milan let defenders play as Maldini unless they do not make a decision about retirement. My favourite defenders for Milan; Leftback- Giorgio, Central defenders are Ajax 72 and Bestalentscout, right back Tonto.

the last US defenders i think highly of are John O'Brien and Frankie Hejduk...........too bad they didn't play for bigger clubs........especially Hejduk

Hey Sefa,

Thanks for the vote of confidence. I promise that I'll do a good job on the left !!

WorstTalent,

You compared to Franco Baresi ? This is rather pretentious, even coming from you !!!! Was this comparison made when Franco was still young, or when he was an old fart ? And which club did you play for ?

Right back should be fine although I shoot left.

I would be invaluable to AC Milan relegation to Serie B! "Those were the days my friends . . . "

i'm thinking Wynne, Onyewu, Edu, and Parkhurst could surprise people if given the chance at an elite club.
