With Abiatti sent off last weekend against Parma, Marco Amelia has his chance to stake his claim for the 'other' Milanese team. Abiatti has also stated he will probably be 'calling it quits' very soon, so Amelia has a chance not just to get game time, but to put his name in the hat for Abiatti's replacement. AC Milan have dropped to mid-table and given their history and stature, changes will being made across the board for the new season in September, not just in goal. And his height, presence and experience, Amelia will either be able to throw his 'name in the hat' so to speak, or look to continue bench warming once the powers that be choose Abiatti's replacement, with well respected Mattia Perin's name being thrown around in the papers and rumour mill.
