Abate confident AC Milan can survive Kaka departure

Ignazio Abate says AC Milan can survive without Kaka.

The young midfielder said: "He is certainly an important player, but this is a year of renewal. So many things have changed, we will use other characteristics."

On Ronaldinho, Abate added: "This must be the season of his revival, he has tremendous qualities, he is a humble guy and always ready to give advice.

"I hope that he can help us to achieve important goals."

i believe acmilan should also add van der vaart to the squad. he can replace the aging-sorry aged seedorf and support ronaldinho by drawing attention away from him in physical games. Leonardo, please buy van der vaart and two young wing backs. preferably Kolarov and Di Silvestri

vivek you idiot lol, Abate is perfect for milan atm, he's young, fast and has amazing crosses, he also has a quite good finish on him as well, he can introduce a new dimension for milan, and in my opinion i think with milans current team is actually the most promising ive seen in year, theyre young and ready to go, i think with the addition of hernanes and possibly a new keeper (just like sir shut up said) milan will be great condenders for both champions league and serie a.

Hope Abate has his chance. Like Paloschi should have had. These young players will save Milan because this sh!t staff won't save our club getting a yankee, adriano, luis fabiano or some cheap and sh!tty players like these...
