The list of players you mentioned is also a bit off.... Toni at 31 is at his absolute peak atm.....you can't compare him with Gila who is not even 25. Toni has at most three years at the top level...Gila can easily have ten. The other players you have mentioned have not been tested at the level Gila has so who's to say that they can surpass him .Rooney is perhaps more talented however his scoring is just as erratic although I'd prefer him to Gila because he helps build up attacks
The only players in his age group that I can definitely say have proven themselves better than Gila are Villa, Rooney, Eto'o - NONE of whom are proven in Italy.
Personally I think he is a second rate striker and would perhaps flourish elsewhere...but we have to give him credit for the good he has done even though it to me seems little.
Also there is nothing we could have done again to keep Sheva here. HE WANTED TO GO!! It makes no sense forcing a player who has lost his passion for the shirt. |
That is precisely the thing..if Ronaldo is our best striker - then we really are in deep ... (I dont need to say what, everybody understood). My point mostly was - that Milan's transfer and selection politics is really bad and poor. There are thousands of players on the market (worth buying) and we buy those who really dont worth money spent on them.
Then about the players I have named before...Kerzhakov, for instance, is playing really good for Seviglia..he scores and makes assists from the very first match for his new team. But again, my point there was not to name the players who Milan should have bought in my opinion, but to show that the players we bought are not good and for the same money Milan could have bought better ones: young, with a huge potential, scoring goals.
I am here not blaming them all really (Ronaldo, RO and Gila), I am just saying that I m shocked that these 3 ended up in Milan all together.
Our only attacking threat at the moment is Kaka. But if we dont get a 4th place or if we dont win the CL this year he ll leave Milan. And then what are we going to do? Who were mostly bringing us goals in these recent years, who all the players were trying to mark at all costs? Sheva (who already have left) and Kaka (who might leave Milan if we dont get a satisfying him position this year). You can say whatever about Sheva...he deserves a lot more than just "thank you", and unfortunately we still cant get better since he left. We cannot adapt the team to play good without him. And this is just one player. If we lose another player of same importance - Kaka, then we are going to be fighting for Seria A, and can forget about CL and Scudetto for some time.
It is really bad that in the team there is only one attacking threat - which is a midfilder. We need to get good strikers, and we need to get them as soon as possible.
As for Gila, even though he is young - he is not getting better...he is actually getting only worse. So then, is his age really so important for us? I dont know.
