i made a poll with a list of 6 strikers (bojinov, ronaldo, torres, tevez, cassano, gilardino) but come to think of it maybe i could add miccoli to the list, he was a good sub for juve and i was wondering why did they let him go?

Yeah, I already voted. As for Adriano, its more a dream buy then an actual suggestion.

I don't think its really possible to get a top class striker during the January window and to be honest, it will be difficult to integrate them into the side at that point of the season, which is why I suggest getting a reasonable forward for the rest of the season, only IF necessary (I still believe we'll be ok for this year). Personally, I think next summer we will have to look for some top forwards to bolster the attack. Pippo is great, but his injuries are troublesome and he is getting older as well, while Crespo is likely to go by then and JDT isn't necessarily the best partner for sheva we can get (even though he is brilliant for us).

anyone see the news that Milan and Barca will be discussing a January bid for Ronaldinho?

do you think he will be played as a striker or part of a 2 man support with sheva upfront alone in a trident if this happens?

out of those 6 I'd take Cassano or Gilardino. Bojinov looks impressive though, however if milan announced tomorrow that an 18 year old was being brought in to be our first choice striker I'd think the management had gone mad. Gila or Cassano for me, still not 100% that torres could adapt. Tevez is an unknown quantity to me, I have heard things about him disliking rough challenges (in argentina the football is far less rough than in europe) and being a bit slow so I'm unsure of his ability to cope against the cream of european defending, which italy no doubt has.

dev is right, big players doesn't move in january, so the only possible one in january is gilardino who's clearly unhappy in a small Parma. He's still the first striker of Italy NT so he doesn't get enuff spotlight at Parma now. At least that's what is said here, and his nervous comments in the last months prove it.

It doesnt matter with that.
2 behind 1 or 1 behind 2.

One thing I know :

It would be The Best Triangle Offense in the World !!
(even better than Triangle Offense formula of Phil Jackson)

I think that Ronaldinho would never leave Barca, and personally I would never want him to, just like I would never like to see Cassano or Totti in another jersey. I personally like seeing players stay with their clubs and being the face of that club, instead of a rotating door like Chelsea or something.

I think a great option would be the Danish League [while a small league, his talent is uncanny] top scorer, Mohammed Zidan. His skills are sublime, and the ball sticks to his feet like a magnet, and I think the player that he can most be likened to is Thierry Henry. And he scores so many goals, he just scores scores scores. A real talent. Wanted by any team you can think of.

Talk of Tevez, Torres, won't happen, Tevez is destined for a Spanish move and Torres adaptability is very questionable. Gilardino, seems possible, and more and more so every day, while talk over Morientes would not be ideal due to him being cup tied. Cassano is a head ache and every one here talks about the calmness and elegance of Milan, why would we betray that ideal by taking in a cry baby in Cassano? Plus he's ugly.

I think in keeping with low key, potential based-buys seems in line with Milan thinking if a January transfer happens. For instance you can tell that Milan is slowly building for the future by recalling the likes of Coloccini and giving squad numbers to Pozzi and the like and the world wide Acadmies that are starting to recall players [my friend included]. I think a quiet potential based aquisition seems to be in the cards though I am torn between sticking with that statement. Ultimatley I think nothing will happen, it seems like Galliani likes sticking Ancelotti in tight situation where he has to use tactical brilliance to compensate for the small size of the strike force.

the most realistic signings this winter would be gilardino, cassano then tevez. if the season passes by and we dont get anyone i tihnk the rest are all realistic signings too!

This is the situation i was afraid since many moths ago..before the summer, (and i can prove it) i repeat we must strenghten the attack..we must go with another striker..
now i want to know what we'll do till january..there are 2 months and we have sheva who is playing since august and cannot take 1 day of rest, tomasson is playing badly and clearly out of form , plus crespo is a HUGE question mark..will he recover a decent form? it's 2 seasons people is wondering, both at inter and chelsea.

now i want to know: if sheva takes a cold or something , what the hell we will do? except sheva we don't score.

i see you all confident about the transfer window, but we must realise the transfer window is not the best moment to choose players..the market situation is very poor, and all users here must realise the clubs aren't there to satisfy our needs when we want: i see too many..ok WE'LL SIGN GILARDINO, NO WE'LL SIGN CASSANO, NO TORRES..i ask you all: do you think it's so easy, we go there and they give us the players? IMO this situation was clear since this summer, i can prove if i look for the threads, and just a bit of arrogance by our management , which has underestimted the possible problems, has put us into this situation .

Now what will we do? We are joking with our season about this, if you don't score, don't have enuff form or quality, you don't win anything. Many tough games are decided by the play of a champion, or his quality in front of the goal or inside the box. It's not true, if we have decent players upfront, and play an awesome game, we score anyway..firstly you need to play at your best every game, secondly the successes will be reached by quality players. That's hystory of football, not my opinion. The average team can reach a final once in 20 years.I don't mean we have an averege team, but upfront, except sheva, we have good players, not world class.

Now, with such team and players, we risk to field Borriello or Pozzi (because if we don't find a proper choice we'll recall them back) in a CL final just because we have been market shy, and let other teams signing amazing players without even doing anything.The worrying point is people believes we can win everything with Borriello on the bench (read somewhere).
--------------------------------------------------------------------------


a huge **** off to Galliani who stated: "Pippo we'll wait for you, we won't sign any player on the market in january"

it's 2 years we wait, the thing are: they are able to solve his problems or we must sign anothe player.

i don't give a phuck of inzaghi, if milan loses. i like the guy or the players, but the jersey, the glory of this club is above any player on this earth. that's what i think, i don't want to sacrifice a whole season because we must be kind with our players.

we must play CL serie a where we can't drop a single point, plus coppa italia with 3 strikers with just one in great form , and the other two unable to play a decent match..Inzaghi is injured since two years, and Galliani is just able to say: "we'll wait you Pippo"..go with Pippo in honeymoon then! There is a lot of worried people , damn baldie, spend a couple of words to reassure these fans

plus, the various Gilardino,, Cassano and many others, can't play the CL having played in other competitions, so this wouldn't solve completely the problem

JDT had not been given a good chance really.. and even when has has he was good (vs reggina was it??? when kaladze scored) ... and besides the only difference between this season and last season in terms of strikers is crespo in boriello out, that sounds alot better... i have full trust in the strikers we have and thats eventhough i would like to see us bring in a big named striker in january.

What about Robinio??? Can he play well in Milan?

i have full trust in sheva and tomasson, crespo doesn't convince me but let's give him some time, but then, how many options we have more? crespo has showed to be injury prone..the number slightly gets thiner

And the solution Giovanni? You always seem to state the problem, which is infact correct, but you never seem to give the solution. Your suggestions?

the solution is already inside my post: sign a striker, which can be gilardino (it depends on parma's financial situation)..anyway, i wouldn't rule out a part time signing if there aren't good choices, but for heaven sake, sign a player who can replace pippo

there's a name i'm thinking of, and it's morientes, who would be perfect for a loan, but i highly doubt madrid will reinforce a direct contender

I think they would. Perez and Galliani is good friends. Real Madrid/Perez is trying to force Morientes away and he surerly isn't happy about the lack of playing time considering he was the striker that performed best last year of the ones RM have on their books. Buy or loan, I think both is possible if we want it. and I would not be averse it, he is not the fastest of strikers, but he is classy.
