-Adriano is impossible, simple as that.
-Ronaldo seems possible in the not too distant future seeing all the Real Madrid trouble. But he is soon 28 yo and might be too expensive. But remains the best striker in the world.
-Gilardino has to prove it for another full season. Talk about him in 8 months, not now.
-Torres looks like the best bet atm. All this "Spaniards don't do it in Serie A" is crap, imo. Primera Division is currently the best league in the world and there is no logical argument why Spaniards can't do it in Serie A. Farinos, Jose Mari and Xavi Moreno were "just" talented prospects, no proven world class players. Mutu, Veron and Crespo flopped in EPL, so what? All three were either as unproven as the Spaniards (Mutu, only 1 good season) or over the hill. That makes Mendieta the only flop, but imo he was just overrated as hell. Even in his Afterlazio life he nver became his former self again.
