If we wouldve signed crespo instead of gila, and gila wouldve been gone to juve or fiorentina we would even now cry about that!

very true....i know from my side, i was so excited that we bought Gila back then...i was watching him play with a small pitiful Parma team and was left all alone in attack and would score in practically every game...and not a silly tap-in, but some gr8 solo effort
he flopped with us for one reason or another, maybe it was the system, maybe it was psycholigical, maybe both....for whatever reason....he was a flop

but this is a risk with all big money transfers: look at Juve this yr (Diego, Melo, Amauri), or even Dinho last yr, Cassano at Real, Berbatov, Babel, Mancini, Quaresma, ....
the list can go on and on .....and all these are quality players that for some reason or another failed to live up to expectations at big clubs

Dzeko? although i also agree that there should be other priorities, i'm pretty sure he will come in the summer...having expressed his love to Milan, Galliani will do exactly the same thing he did with Dinho and force his club to reject bigger offers from other clubs (like Man City for Dinho) and then force them to sell us for a considerably lower price because he knows the player is not going to accept any other offer. and inserting Kaladze & Jankulovski too is probably the best thing in that deal because we really have to offload these guys.

However, getting Dzeko, won't only mean that Huntelaar will leave, but I'm pretty sure Boriello won't accept the bench anymore...
