He has great mobility and thrives getting the ball in stride... as winger he become a little predictable.

I really don't believe in this Big CF dogma. I want a CF(big or small) that can create his own chances and for the others. Thats why I wanted Luis Fabiano last season. But Pato was a CF all his youth career and already show he can do it in Serie A, even when played alone in Carlo's C. Tree...

Also, Robinho playing free(like in Brazil NT) create a lot of space for the CF, midfielder and fullbacks. But I will not hold my breath for Robinho. He is improving game by game here, and if he will have a good(or great) WC that I am expecting, we will be out of the race(budget).

A REMINDER: I know it will be late for most you guys, but there is a amazing game to watch today(21:40 Brazil) Santos x Grêmio. Fist leg 4 x 3 to Grêmio so, Santos need just a 1 x 0 win. But they don't know how to hold a lead without to attack. So, expect a crazy game like always happen with this Santos team...

My friend, Im not trying to be boring, but my question was about Milan with Dinho-Pato-Robinho as an attacking trio. To me it seems Milan will hold on to Ronaldinho, and - lets say Berlusconi really pays for one player and that player is Robinho - we'll play "tridente" up front. But nevermind it... I'd also play Robinho as left second forward and Pato up front.

People suddenly started to talk about TALL CF's, while its all about SISTEM of the team, not about phisical power. Milito has a brilliant season, and his space was opening coz of Eto'o, who played wide with Mourinho. Eto'o played pure CF in Barca... In Barca now, Ibra plays pure CF, and he is not doing so well coz their sistem is not made for his football. They bought Villa, who is now perfect for the way Barca plays.

Ibrahimovic was always a perfect player for Milan, and if we had him while we had Kaka' ( like we almost did!) we'd won it all without any doubt!

Our hope is that Silvio will really pay for one player ( fully ) and that Milan as a club will do some smart things like sell 6,7 players we dont need anymore.

Im also against neccessarity of a TALL and bih CF. Players like Ibrahimovic and Drogba are extreme players, but its not a must to have a 190cm CF.
