Ambrosini Hits Nail On The Hammer

Massimo Ambrosini could not be more right.

The 33 year old Milan skipper has admitted to what fans have been screaming about for several years now. He has warned the club, via Sky Sport Italia, that the club is too old.

“There are 10 of us whose contracts are set to expire. That’s the entire historic centre of the team.

“I think the club is forced to consider 10 situations. They have a year to think about how to react. Either we all play until we’re 40 or the club has to do something...”

Milan currently have 12 players on their roster over the age of 30, including players such as Filippo Inzaghi, Gennaro Gattuso, Marek Jankulovski, and several others. Many of these players are over the age of 33. It will be difficult for Milan to compete with such an old squad.

The midfield is the greatest problem. Four of the over thirty players are midfielders, the four most common players selected for the midfield by recent managers Carlo Ancelotti and Leonardo. Milan have reportedly expressed interest in CKSA Moscow's Keisuke Honda and Fulham's Clint Dempsey, but no formal bids have been made.

Milan have not won a major trophy since 2007, when they won the UEFA Champions League, the UEFA Super Cup, and the FIFA Club World Cup.

Milan fans have united all over the world, thanks to social networking sites such as Facebook, to express their concern with the ownership and it's inability to act in the transfer window as the club continues to age.

Owner Silvio Berlusconi seems afraid to let go of the players who won so often in the early and mid decade, but what have they done lately and what does he expect when they're gone?
