Ryan Babel

It would be great for Babel if he could sign for Milan but i don't think he will.
Under the new coach he finally has got his place in the basic line up and is in a suberb form too.
Milan should better take a shot at Huntelaar who has as much potential as Babel has

Even if Babel is not exactly what we need right now, we can still sign him as a project to develop. We can certainly use Huntlaar to put some fire under Gilardino's butt. At this point, I no longer care who we sign as long as we sign someone to sit Gilardino and Oliveira on the bench. They suck and I am sick of watching them destroying our attacking force.

babel was made agoal last week,its great but the creator is huntelar

u like that asàect about moving for huntelaar, he is a natural born striker.

Whats it matter because if milan take a chance with him as soon as he comes good we will have Chelski and Real MAdrid knocking on the door again. Huntalaar is a proven goalscorer Babel still has time on his side.

So your saying not to sign anyone, coz all we are is a feeder club to Chelsea or Madrid????
With better players comes success, success breeds success, breeds fans, breeds players who want to join our club. If you show no ambition, then you might as well die. (Not you as a person though, but if Milan don't have any ambitions then they should just scrap the club).

I heard last night again that Gilardino stunk up the place, that he was mentally not in the game. I was very excited when we bought gila, and till recently thought that he would be the perfect scorer for milan. However, now i ask myself if he is really suited for our club, and maybe a change of scenery would do him good. I know it would be stupid to give up on a 24 yr old fwd who has had past success, including a not so bad 1st season in milan, but he has been in poor form for close to 7 months. Maybe gila is more suited for teams with a distinctly Italian mentality like roma and even juventus whenever they come back up. It is still to early to declare Oliveira a bust, and it seems that the last two games, he has been very unlucky not to score.
As for Babel, Higuain, Huntelaar, Palacio, Kerlon, etc..., none are guarantees. There never are in football, but we have to take a chance. Sheva had a great track record at Kiev, but I don't think anyone expected 175 goals. Gila was the closest sure thing since he played in Serie A and had a proven track record, but look how he has struggled of late. I say take a chance on highly rated players, bring them over, and play them. It's the only way we will ever know what we have. Because right now, Pipo is no more than a 3rd fwd. He is 33, we need to remember that. We did get burned with Kluivert, bogarde, reiziger, and davids, but didn't we also get Gullit, Van Basten, and Rijkaard from Holland. It's a crapshoot and we need to roll the dice.

no sorry what i meant to say is that if we buy Babel and he comes good he will only be poached buy Madrid or Chelski like Sheva and Kaka (not that Kaka is leaving) so Milan might as well buy Huntalaar because people already know what he is capable of so the intrest wouldnt be as great when he starts scoring. and he isnt that exspensive and not as much risk of him flopping!

And who's to say they won't want to sign Huntelaar if he's a success too?

nothing is to say but at the moment Babel is the un known quantity where as Huntalaar is already 'established' imo

I agree on babel being an unknown quantity but don't see how Huntelaar is an established player already. yes, he's more "proven" than Babel if you look at their record in the Dutch Eredivisie but if you look at the big picture, Huntelaar has yet to prove himself in any of the big European leagues and Europe's CL too ... and a couple of goals scored to Kopenhavn and the likes don't count IMO.

well yes i can see your pov.

Ryan babel isnt a bad signing but i prefer huntelaar

if i had the chance i would get em both ... to be honest .. both exciting players huntelaar a bit more than the other

yes i agree but havnt does he play like Pippo or Gila if so thats three poachers and one striker

hes plays nothing like gila or pippo but he can do that well .. hes more of a sheva type .. he has no weak football .. trademarks are over head kicks and he scores sweet headers ... hes awesome
