UCF2008 0 Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 The guy is out of control, we don't need somebody like this. He's aggressive in his play, but no more so than the likes of Black and Broon. He'd also have the latter for breakfast. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was it an eye injury? - maybe even as bad as losing his sight in one eye, I think. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheWeeBlueDevil 0 Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 (edited) Was it an eye injury? - maybe even as bad as losing his sight in one eye, I think. http://soccernet.espn.go.com/news/story/_/id/974460/gattuso:-i'll-come-back-stronger-than-ever-from-eye-injury?cc=5739 AC Milan's veteran midfielder Gennaro Gattuso insists his career is not over despite being blind in one eye. Gattuso suffered a paralysis of the seventh cranial nerve following a collision with team-mate Alessandro Nesta that has left the 33-year-old without sight in his left eye. The Italian has not played since being substituted in Milan's opening Serie A game against Lazio on September 9 but has vowed to come back from the career-threatening injury. "Football is my life,'' Gattuso said. "I'm a lucky man. Three weeks ago doctors told me there was a chance I might never play again, but now they are saying that is not the case and I will fight hard to return. "For a while I was seriously scared about my health and worried for my life. But now I have undergone several tests I'm calmer. It'll take more than this to beat me. The important thing is to not give up. "I feel an important part of the dressing room here. I feel respected after playing here for so long. My team-mates know I'm full of enthusiasm, so age is certainly not a problem. "As long as the enthusiasm is there, I can keep playing. I hope you will see me back on the football pitch.'' The 2006 World Cup winner, who has been at Milan since 1999, will be out for at least a further six months. "In 25% of cases the palsy of the sixth optic nerve occurs for unknown reasons,'' explained Milan's chief medical officer Rodolfo Tavana. "Often this kind of problem clears up by itself in a period of two to six months.'' Former Rangers midfielder Gattuso hopes his condition, which has affected his daily life, will improve. "Before I had triple vision, now I see double,'' he said. "There has been some improvement. I can train, but I can't play because I can't see well enough. "Right now I can't send an email, I can't watch TV, I can't drive and it's tough not to be able to take my children to school. "I will need to wait another four months before an operation can take place to resolve everything. "The important thing is to get back to normal life and to come out of this stronger than ever.''

kuznetsov 0 Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 (edited) Technically it's not a transfer given he's a free agent. So was Keane if i remember correctly. He had left Utd one month before signing for the gypos. Edited June 8, 2012 by kuznetsov 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
chilledbear 16 Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 He's aggressive in his play, but no more so than the likes of Black and Broon. He'd also have the latter for breakfast. He could have the two of them for breakfast I have no doubt. As he gets older he will become even more volatile, not for me. Someone I don't think Rangers need. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ascender 352 Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 I think it could be an excellent signing in the same way that Weir was. We need a leader on the park and someone with experience. The spl isn't serie a, depending how we play Gattuso he could do a job for years yet and I think the biggest thing is that we'd be getting someone, a world class player, who wants to play for the jersey. I think we'd be mad to overlook that and if he's doing his coaching badges, his influence on and off the park, particularly on the young midfielders could be vital during whatever rebuilding process we need to go through. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexscottislegend 2,057 Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 The guy is out of control, we don't need somebody like this.Last time I saw him play for Milan it was obvious he had lost some pace and was lunging everywhere. I can see him mis-timing tackles and getting sent off. Do we really need a Scott Brown? Ian Black would do just as well to counteract the Green psycho (I don't mean Charles). 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
