Think again, he'll be back for the Juve match (mid August)

It's not Digao's birthday.

Supperpippo is what they call Super Goofy in Italian.

I'm still lost who's Super Goofy?

Hee. Well, if you watch disney cartoons in Italian, Super Goofy (the cartoon character) is 'Super Pippo'.

Oh right, I thought he was just called Goofy. Ok that's dumb. While I'm at it, they change all kinds of shows' & films' names, they should just leave things be or it's bound to end in confusion!

To the day, then!


Oh, Goofy is called Goofy, of course. It's just that he had a bit of a stint as 'Super Goof' in some Disney comic book series, and there are a couple of reasons why they call Inzaghi this. Nicking his first name out, it comes to Pippo (which is also the nickname of Super Goof himself). Plus, take a look at these images below and see whether you see a bit of our Inzaghi in it: The way he celebrates. I think this guy looks as if he scored a goal in the CL final himself:







So it's Super Goof tuh thuh rescue, alright! I just wish he stayed more injury free. Oh, and thanks for coming to the rescue, Tennie (pun always intended). Hehe.

Super Goofy

So is Pippo still signed with Milan? Or has he left? With new strikers on board, people seem awful forgetful of him, his injury withstanding. No news, views, reviews, etc for Pippo, huh?

He is the most lethal in box striker, when on form. So give him time to get back, and we will see what he can do in the big games

EDIT: for got to add this part - There are news on his medical situations, but he has never been on the news a lot even before. I guess it is just that there is so much to choose from upfront, that he is no longer in the center of our attention. But make no mistake, a Shevchenko - Inzaghi partnership at some point in the season will be one of the highlights of the season for me

That was my initial impression. Everyone seems to have forgotten about Inzaghi.

Looks like Pippo's got his shooting boots on these days. 2 games, 2 goals. Not so bad for an old guy.

Not too bad at all!

Just Phenomenal player. Only Pippo may play and score this way and he always plays well after injuries)))

Hey Inzaghi , why don't you drop your shooting boot for pato to come and take over from you.

I have a better idea - why doesn't he just loan him a pair!

I personally don't see it as a good move for the club. If Milan were to treat him as what he truly is, a bonus striker and squad player rather then an integral part of the team then I would have no problem with Pippo extending his contract. But for Galliani to still think of Pippo as a first team player which is important during the entire season will hold us back both from buying a new younger striker. And when Pippo is fit Carlo will play him ahead of Pato or Boriello. It just doesn't sit well with me.

Not to mention the other old players we have who will expect extensions since Pippo got one. Players like Favalli, Puma and Pippo imo need to move on after this season. Milan need to let go of the past and start moving ahead. There is no use in keeping these players on and paying their wages when they are out injured for more then 3 quarters of the season.

If Pippo wants to stay for another season let him stay !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! FORZA PIPPO INZAGHI !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

+1

I think Pippo has earned his place in Milan. His game was never based on physical strength nor speed, rather positioning and prowess inside the 18-yard box, and in that sense there is no one better.

That's true but either way Pippo is an important player. Every time I thought he was finished he came back, he's a ****ing zombie that guy!

Except maybe Simone Inzaghi?

I'm not saying that he should go no matter what. I'm saying that he should only stay if the board acknowledg that we still need someone to cover for him next season whether he stays or not. If they choose to acknowledge this I have no problems with Pippo staying but if Pippo stays and there is no one else coming in, it would mean that Pippo is holding us back

He spends 3/4 of the season on the treatment table, someone like him should be counted as a bonus not as a firm regular first 11 player.

That's all I'm saying.

As for Puma and Favalli, I'm dead serious about those 2, they need to leave next summer we shouldn't hold on to dead weight any longer. Get rid of Puma, do anything you can to bring Yoann back. Get rid of Favalli and promote Albertazzi from the youth team, I've seen him play he's really talented and a bright prospect

put me down on the list too
+2

FORZA PIPPO ! He could stay as long as he wants. His game isn't influenced by age. He's been great this season and nobody even talked about him when Sheva, Dinho and Borriello arrived at Milanello.

As for Favalli - he'll leave for good. Emerson is about to extend his contract, but that's okay. He's definetely better than Favalli and has at least won some trophies before coming to Milan.

A.C.MILAN COMUNICATO UFFICIALE
05/11/2008
MILANO - L'A.C.Milan comunica di aver prolungato il contratto di Filippo Inzaghi fino al 30 Giugno 2010.


[AC Milan announces that it has extended the contract of Filippo Inzaghi to June 30 2010.]

Boy, that didn't take too long, now, did it?

OH YES THIS HAS MADE MY DAY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! FORZA PIPPO !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OI OI OI , OI OI OI PIPPO INZAGHI SEGNA PER NOI !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ANOTHER YEAR , ANOTHER YEAR OF GOALS !


p.s i know im a tad over excited but hes my favorite player !

Over excited, huh? That's actually the overstatement of the year, you know! As for the favorite player thingy, I can only imaging seeing your avatar. Hehe. But yeah, I'm happy for him to stay another year or two. He can still do great things coming as a substitute.

We'll need him in the CL next season. Forza Pippo!

where did you hear this??

NOOO!!! Don't extend this good for nothing's contract. Come on Fester stay strong!!!

*cough* Carlo *cough*. Emo's his favorite player, you know.

Haha .....cant wait to see him in winter break in Dubai ! gotta get a photo with him thats my new years resolution

So Fishdoll shouldn't show off his signed-and-with-patches 2007 Inzaghi jersey too close to you, should he?

BE SURE TO GET LOTS OF PICTURES IN DUBAI!

not too sure abt this

ahahaa nice try Tennie you can try showing me the t shirt but then id have to show you this my half finished signed 2006/2007 away kit this was taken in the middle of the winter training camp i had it all signed by the end thank god!! .I got everyone's except Valerio Fiori , Billy , its hanging on my wall in a fittingly in Red & Black frame and if theres ever a fire its the first thing im taking with me out the house lol



you remember they came last year well i was there everyday from when they stepped of the bus until they finished and got on the bus and headed to there hotel !! I wasnt really ready for my papparazi role last winter tour but now i am im gunna take loadsa of pictures and videos i will be your source from the training field !!

I believe Fester mentioned it about a month ago. There's nothing official yet, but it makes the perfect sense. I mean, what's Favalli still doing here? And once again - Favalli is even worse than Emerson.

I think Favalli did remarkably well against Napoli, all things considered.

WoooHoooo!!!!

I like Favalli.

*runs away*

Favallinho always gives 100% to his potential. FACT. Now don't get me started on what his potential is. That's why I prefer to keep him as first-choice sub. This is something even he knows, unfortunately, as his 8 caps for the Azzuri can testify. What's worse, he took Zamborghini's number shirt 19, which is plain unfair, even though he looks like his brother, he is not, so he should return it.

Besides, you have to type his whole name in Wikipedia. Favalli alone won't get you anywhere. That's one measure of a person's popularity. Gotta type his whole name, Giuseppe Favalli, always, which is frankly a waste of keystrokes and precious keyboard time that could be used to slurp some cold slurpee.

I could probably go on, but these are some of the reasons why he doesn't top my list of favorite players, him being an Italian legend and all, he'll always be the twelfth-man. Which in a club like us, isn't such a bad thing to be. Do I want to see him in Milan? You bet. Do I want to see him starting every match, when better choices are available? I'll need a rain check on that, one, sorry. Sure he has a couple of good points as well, like the fact that he's from the 80s - that's always fun to know in a man. And the fact that he still has his 'inter.it' profile page on inter's website speaks volumes about his success. Even though he plays for Milan. AC, that is.

Forza Favalli! The man who gave his 100%. Always!

Absolutly phenomenal player. If he wants, he should stay.

Pippo per sempre!

He will be the same at 40 I think.

One of the funniest posts that I've read in a while, that I believe was supposed to be taken entirely 'serious'!

You've developed a knack of getting things exactly right, Trini! I should try and be your friend.

Pippo is now the #1 scorer in Eruope. Though Raul is hot on his heels. I do hope this adds something psychological so he keeps on scoring for Milan in Europe

I'll try and fit you in for an interview!

Enough for me - once he is scoring for us I'm happy (Europe or just Italy - its all good)
The bigger his tally the better for everyone
...except the opposition!

Does anyone have a picture of him with the armband?

Right before it went in

Pippo is simply incredible. I can't believe he is 35 already. I am cherishing these moments. Thanks R7.

Somewhat belated, but here's a photo of Pippo's goal celebration from the Portsmouth game, with him wearing the armband.
