- his sister was kidnapped
( - he doesnt speak italian, or does he? )
- he has less playing time than gila
+ he closed the game against lazio and secured 3 points (my subjective opinion)

Let me say again, i have hopes for gila-oliveira because i think those 2 can be our fearsome strinking force, but i wont spare grounded critics just because of that.

A Suazo - Gila or Torres - Gila partnership would have been amazing

Scrap Torres from any list that's supposed to contain good strikers. Probably the most overrated striker in footballing history.

After Ronaldo and Ronaldinho maybe...

Sorry for offtopic..but are you trying to hint that torres is BETTER than either of those two?

lol no, just saying there more overated than he is, it doesnt mean he is better than them... Plus he is still young...

Our kid Oli is steadily improving. It may be too late in the season when he starts playing the way people expect, but that isnt his fault is it now?

And Torres is nothing, but hype!!

phew, I was just starting to believe that I am seeing things, given all the negativism in recent weeks.

Yes the club and everyone seem involved seem to be in panic mode. The two ways I see the team moving forward is Oli, Gourcuff and Gila starting to deliver big things and/or Braida coming to the rescue with some firepower. Hopefully, things can only improve??

I agree with this, but I d like to add one more point here, why RO is underperforming:
He came to Milan when we already had problems. So for him to adapt here is a lot more difficult, then if Milan played as it used to. When the whole team performs well, new player has a time to learn information about the opposition, learns new skills from the old players in the team, being supported by all the rest of the players in the game. In our situation, when nobody plays well, how can we blame RO for underperforming? He is actually developing well in Milan, considering the whole situation in the team now.

100% agreed

Ancelotti and Galliani said that Olveira has a personal problem in this moment and thats why he is not playing very well
What is it?

His sister has been kidnapped in Brazil

after todays game i stick by my choice zlat!

Did you even watch the game. He is getting better every week.

yeah i did, i dont think hitting the bar is improving.. we need a striker who can turn a game arround, were lucky to even get goals now..
