Why would he be a success ? Seriously, if we're going to spend money for him, I would rather us not to spend it and to play with Borriello as a starter ... ( what did I just say ?! lol)

I agree... he's not that good of a player... Pogrebynak is probably a better striker than him and is usually Russia's first choice striker. But I really think we should look elsewhere.

striker next to henry is not exactly the best spot to play. Name one striekr other than berkamp who succeeded next to henry?

calciomercato.com reports that Milan fans have started a petition urging Berlu to sell Milan.

The question is...to whom? Hopefully someone with a bit more enthusiasm for the club and with resources.

i just have this vision of the beast, pato, kaka, dinho sambaing across serie A. Making adriano jealous so he jumps ship.... pissing off inter.... mmmmmmm

i think its great! Dissent is great. If people sit quiet change never happens. Peaceful protest, is a great way to get fans voices heard. Lets get real no one wants berlu to actually sell the club, but the sheva petition didnt really work, so letting discontent fans voices heard in a peaceful manner so the club changes for the better. Whats wrong with that?

Remember we are not inter fans, hurling motorcycles off balconies here...

Yeah I agree with you... it's a disrespectful petition both to Berlusconi and to Milan... Berlusconi has done many things for Milan and a small minority of fans can't respect that.

I'm pretty sure that some people really think that Berlu should sell the club ... maybe not here, but we don't know. It's why I think it's stupid !!

And nowadays, a club like Milan could only be sold to some kind of man who has billions ... and Milan would lose all by becoming a Chelsea-like/Real-like based in Italy.

So this club has to stay, when Berlusconi will decide to retire himself lol, into hands of former Milan players or people already involved in Milan ...

I got an idea... how about the striker Fred from Lyon? He's had a pretty good start with Brazil... I think 9 national matches and 5 goals... he's young too... 24 years old..

i think you're missing my point. I see what you're saying and you're right. Some people are morons and want him to sell. But the majority of discontent fans just want to see change. they are embarassed by uefa cup. 2 clubs who arent close to being able to financially compete with milan pass them by.

I personally love when people start petitions, and protest and attempt to have there voices heard. IF berlusconi expects the fans to buy expensive tickets, and merchandise, which we all gladly do. He must also be prepared for backlash when the club doesnt perform at the levels it is expected to. It's a two way street, and i don't see a real problem. It's peaceful, gets the voices heard, and can effect change.

The minute violence gets involved i dont condone it 1 bit. But to say fans should sit by quietly when they r discontent, is ridiculous. Would you stand by quietly if government did things (or didnt do things) you had issues with?

fred's coming off a major injury. Never really reclaims his spot since. Although he too can join my sambaing lineup!

I don't like him but he has talent ... his problem is that he seems to be injury-prone. And of course, like some people don't want Drogba, they won't want Fred, just remember a certain Lyon-Roma match in CL and what happened when Fred saw he had no solution: he exploded Chivu's neck lol.

Anyway, he could become a great striker if he changes his mind.

Actually, Wenger will never do that but it could be a solution to shut the mouth of all these players with long contracts who say that they want to leave ...

I think Wenger seems intent on keeping Adebayor unless Milan pony up silly money and they think that's the right move for the reasons crap pointed out.

Well I'm not sure then... yes the last thing we need is any injury prone players.

There was some mention of Falcao from River Plate as well, and that Milan actually did try to put a bid on him a while ago...

btw what channel the us will show copa libradores final?
