That said, they absolutely adore Diego Milito – they call him il principe (the prince) – and with good reason too, seeing how well he has been doing since getting back.

Good luck, but I wish he would have used L Lopez more in that spot. Does anybody know the status of Jonas Gutierrez after his injury in the recent qualifier ? Another favorite of mine that is not on the list.

Lucho obviously just isn’t to Basile’s liking, and in a Masch-Riquleme midfield, its hard to see where midfielders without blinding pace – like Lucho, Cambiasso, even Veron at the Copa America – can fit in without being wasted on the wings.

Cavenaghi must be wondering what he has to do to get in ahead of Milito, though…
