Kaka and Ronaldinho are not strikers. I think we should get a real forward and play with two strikers...

i never said they were strikers, i said attacker, as in attacking Midfielders.

I'm not against getting another attacking midfielder... but we have to really focus on a striker right now...

Ronaldinho is officially a striker...he's the striker that was supposed to replace Ronaldo....however it turns out that he wasn't a good #9 as he was a # 10......Kaka was generally always a midfielder but in the 2007 and for parts of 08 Ancelotti played him as a striker...a #7 (raul, $heva, CR7 if you will)

BOTH are termed forwards


More worrisome to me is Inter's potential lineup:

--------Caesar--------
Maicon-Chivu-Cordoba-Maxwell
------Cambiasso-------
Quaresma-----Mancini
-------Lampard--------
--Zlatan-------Adriano--


Subs:
Zanetti
Vieria
Suazo
Balotelli
Jimenez
Cruz
Toldo


Is it me or does Inter look like somebody's Playstation Fifa 08 lineup

Let's be fair guys Inter is Inter and we all hate them but this squad on paper (note I said on paper) BLOWS ours out of the water any day. Hopefully we'll actually get Ronaldinho and I'll be able to continue posting why I love Inter so much after we beat the crap out of their fantasy team

we do not need quaresma when we have antonini. we do not need mancini when we have abate. we do not need zlatan and adriano. we have borriello and pato. maicon? we have oddo?

i see NO difference

He's an attacking midfielder or second striker... we don't really need to get another one.

Maicon-Chivu-Cordoba-Maxwell

Quaresma-----Mancini

I see nothing worrying about that at all. In fact I think many of those players sub-par and their performance during the last Inter-Milan game was very poor.

And let me bet you Adriano will once again fail in Inter...

I'll absolutely disagree with that. Last time we had Inter on its behind... but to counter any acquisition Inter makes, I'm in favor of a strong forward.

All in all I think we have the team to more than counter Inter, in fact overpower it every time. But there must be further improvements made.

but you're all right... our potential mercato > theres

So far I see our Milan doing far more than Inter. All I've seen from Inter is just talk. They brought back Adriano... he's not that great. Big deal.

i disagree with this part. The same way we think dinho will rehit form. inter fans believe adriano will for mourinho. Mourinho had opportunity to dump him but didnt, because he realizes the talent and ithink he'll get him to play.

In the inter-milan game they were missing zlatan and cordoba. say what u want. but if we were w/o kaka and nesta, we'd be up toilet creek too. Not taking anything away from us. but i also realize they were missing 2 very important peices

They had other players to cover including Ballotelli. I believe even with the out-of-form Zlatan and Cordoba, Inter's backline would still be weak (with Materazzi playing very poorly). You know that second goal I believe was the fault of Vieira?

I'm not so sure about Adriano. There are better players than him.

zlatan was very inform prior to injury.... balotelli is NOT zlatan. That'd be like saying we had bonera to cover nesta. slight drop off

Why do you people worry, did you forget the law no.1: " We RULE the transfer market!"

That will not be Inter's lineup if Mourinho gets what he wants, this will be it:
----------------cesar-------------
--maicon----cordoba-chivu--maxvell----
-------zanetti--------cambiasso-------
----------------lampard--------
-----mancini------------quaresma--
---------------ibrahimovic---------

Which is EXTREMLY brilliant linaup under a coach that is 56 times better coach then Mancini and gets the best out of his players ( playershe choosaes, not that Abramovic buys for himself). We can lie to ourselves but that is the truth.

Compare to this :

Boruc
Bonnera-Nesta-Zapata-Zambrotta
Flamini-Pirlo
Kaka-Ronaldinho-Pato
Drogba/Adebayor

And dont forget, we have coach 716 times better than Mancini.

Let me just temper some of the Inter fear: I really have my doubts whether Lampard will thrive outside the Prem.

HAHA 56 times better...716 times better....players being 180% ours...I think people associated with Milan in general have a thing for Mathematics.
