I say that because, the current leading goal scorer in the UCL, Raul, is a world class player, who does everything for the team, he scores (well not much in past seasons, but as the ALL TIME LEADING GOAL SCORER in the UCL, thats pedigree enough for me), he passes, he draws defenders, and TACKLES...which many forwards are incapable/unwilling to do.

While I agree that he will never leave Madrid, and also agree that he probably wouldnt come to Milan, I think, were he to actually arrive in Milan, he would be right up there with our better players.

Madrid are the current standard by which other clubs are judged. NO CLUB has the silverware that Madrid can boast, NONE. So please, stop "playa-hating"...I can understand dislike for a club, but the posts I have seen here, just smack of envy more than anything else, and as such, seem to be unreasoned.

I say all the above and firmly remain a Milan fan. Milan is the club I chose to support before I even knew much about European football,..why? Because I saw a black, rastafarian (well, he had locks, even if he wasnt doing it for religious reasons) and decided that if this club could have a Rasta on their books, then this was a club I would support (In Jamaica at the time, Rastas were heavily persecuted by mainstream society). But I can still acknowledge another clubs greatness, ánd respect them for their history and achievements.

While Raul wont come to Milan, there are times that I wish he would have, maybe a couple years ago. He is still relatively young though, so who knows what the future will bring?

Raul can walk into ANY team in the world, he is that good. So please, even if you dont want him in Milan, appreciate his ability, if only that.

(Ok, so I got carried away, and thats about 4 cents worth)
i recall uve always liked raul... but honestly, i doubt ud find many others who would like to have him here, at times it seems only hardcore real fans like him today, i respect him for his records but hes been very very very disapointing, even worse than ur friend eediat vieri or whatever. it makes me want to ask u how can u say this about raul when ur bashing vieri daily?
