To be very honest, I am not a very big fan for Rijkaard as a coach. To me, signing either Ronaldinho or Eto'o should be the priority when we try to take someone from Barcelona. Since the bust up between those two seem unlikely to be resolved, one of them would have to leave. I would be happy to see either one of them wearing Milan jersey. Especially Eto'o, he is the perfect replacement for Shevchenko. The transition is going to be like when George Weah took over from Van Basten as our primary striker.
As for Rijkaard, it shouldnt surprise anyone that he is denying all those rumors. I think he definitely will leave at the end of the season based on the dissatisfaction about the way Laporta is running the club. At this point, however, he has to keep his team together by saying he isn't leaving until the end of the season. Just like Shevchenko, he never talked about leaving us during the entire year last season but decided to sign with Chelsea as soon as the season was over. I am not so sure Rijkaard is the right coach for this team. He has shown the ability to utilize superstars, but not a lot more than that. Marcelo Lippi is a much better tactician than Rijkaard and has a lot more experience with Italian's style of management.
