I think Milan will get Amauri, with all the others being smoke screens. Away from Juve, in the right environment, he always seems to perform well and other than some unreachable targets (e.g. Cavani), he's probably the most affordable target and complete forward we can go for as a vice Ibra.
Completely untrue, on the pitch Tevez might be great, with a great work ethic, but off it he's been a problem at every club he's played for (except West Ham, kind of). At Boca, I can't remember the exact events that happened but I specifically remember him saying he can't play in Argentina anymore because of some issues he had at the club.
Similar circumstances were in Brazil, as again he was a great player, but left with all sorts of controversy and tension (not including the odd transfer deal with West Ham) and eventually at United, where he was considered a great player on the pitch, but I have huge doubts Alex Ferguson would just dump him without reason.
Even at Man City, he was always controversial as even before wanting to leave there were a number of stories of him not returning to training on time or going to South America unexpectedly. Only difference now is he's no longer the star there, and therefore these things aren't overlooked.
Robinho's had his problems in the past, but they were never as huge as Tevez. Ibra's an arse, everyone knows it and I'm sure he knows it himself, but the fact is he's also a constructive personality in the dressing room as he's got this arrogance and desire to win.
Cassano is a great character until he has his Cassanata moment. In Sampdoria he was great, but had this moment and was immediately sacked. At Milan, we've yet to see it and we can hope we never do, but the fact remains he is a highly volatile character.
Point is, Tevez has always been controversial and disruptive figure, and this is fact, unlike the others where it's often just rumours. I say this as someone who was praying we'd sign Tevez around the time Sheva left Milan.

Tevez was hold against his will and forced to stay in City despite him telling them 1 year in advance he wanted to leave because he wasnt happy in England. He did not want to come on the field in the CL game because he did not want to be cup-tied for an eventual transfer in January. Tevez was always an exemplary professional and gave 100% in trainings and matches. In terms of personality, he definitely won't cause problems here.
However, I do question Milan's intent and feel like they are kind of lost. Ibra/Pato/Binho/Inzaghi/Shaarawy all availble, with Cassano due to return in between 2-4 months. Bringing Tevez in for a short loan wouldn't be great for Tevez, what if he scores a dozen goals and we want to keep him, that'll mean we will have to say adios to one our four strikers. I dont want to sell Ibra or Robinho, I think both are vital for us...even Cassano began to show alot of improvement before his injury. I'd like those three to stay, and if Pato was to be sold, we should bring in Neymar instead with the same money we'd make off his sale. Neymar is going to be the best.
