Which striker/forward you want most?

I gave my vote to etoo hes proven world class material, and I think he'd do great with kaka? He's always needed a pacey forward up there with him (kaka) or someone he can go on a two man counter attack with I'm almost positive the only player at milan who has any chance of keeping up with him if they were to ever break away would be pato so we definitely need more pace, especially on our wings but i'll save it for a different thread none the less etoo got my vote. probably benzema my best alternative.

Here's my take on the "candidates":
Benzema: Many good qualities: He's young, strong, has good technique, EU-passport. , However he's only had one good (or great) season and he lacks experience. The biggest turn-off, though, is his price-tag - and the fact that he won't move on this summer.
Villa: Technically the best of these forward (bar R10), a great track record and can move fairly cheap due to Valencia's situation. But he's really more of a support striker and the word on the street is that were looking for a genuine center forward.
Berbatov: Technically good, but he's never really impressed and is very, very inconsistent. And not much of a workhorse either.
Drogba: Strong as an ox and a nightmare for any defender when he's in the mood. But first of all he's only had one great season (06/07), and he's getting on a bit in years. His attitude, however, is what i'm most sceptic about.
Huntelaar: A fantastic goals-to-games ratio and he's only 25. But if any of you remeber Mateja Kezman, then you'll know not to blindly trust a striker from the Eredivisie. He might turn out to be the new van Nistelrooij, but there's also the risk he'll flop like Kezman, or Kuijt.
Eto'o: IMO the best striker in the world, but he won't come cheap. I don't agree that he's wasteful, but either way you'll get someone who, besides being a good box-player, also participates in the build-up. Just hope he doesn't go to jail for the next five years!
Gómez: Of all the targetmen I prefer "Mr. Reliable". Over the past two years he's been the best striker outside of the big 3 leagues. Good finisher and, for his size, good technique and speed.
Adebayor: Like Benzema has just had his first stand-out season, but unlike the frenchman, I don't see him being a real superstar. The most wasteful of all these players, by far, and like Drogs and Eto'o he's a bit, er, eccentric.
Kanouté: A bit too old, plus he's really more of a supporting striker.
Ronaldinho: Not really a striker, so he probably doesn't belong here - though I fear Galliani's counting him as one. Even if he won't quite reach his level of 2005, I'd still sign him, preferably along with a real striker.
Fabiano: Has a great record of scoring both in Brazil and Spain - but will he cope in Italy. Also his temper is explosive - to put it mildly.

Drogba...or Eto`o

Berbatov and villa

Hands down Mario Gomez... but I'm not sure if Galliani will go for him. I just don't want to see a joker like Adebayor or Eto'o... Adebayor literally misses 9 out of 10 shots he makes...

Villa will be a bust in Serie A.
Gomez is very skillful but not proven for Milan's level yet.
Berbatov will cost much more than he's worth.
Benzema same thing.
Eto'o is injury prone and Serie A is much tougher than La Liga (and much more difficult for strikers since they don't have lots of space).

so my choice is...
Didier Drogba, proven, amazingly skillful, exactly the type of player we need and "custom made" for Serie A matches.

Maevious, you may very well be right. I heard that Chelsea is allowing talks to open for Drogba...

According to this article, it looks like we won't bring Shevchenko back.

Either way, Drogba is fine for me... as long as he puts his ego away.

ya good an idea for your title..i want and hopefully ronaldinho play for ac milan this season...come on ronaldinho..come

From my point of view, Eto'o is a world-class striker
miss shot is a common case of striker.
Even adebayor misses 9 shot, at least he scored many goals last season

I prefer Eto'o and Adebayor

Well I have changed my mind since then, I don't think Eto'o is a joker... and I think he can score well... but lets be realistic... we're not getting either.

I dont know, I guess I'm more nostalgic to the great old days and have always envisioned a Milan striker to be someone like Marco van Basten---tall, physical, yet graceful and can perform magic with the football. I would have liked Ibra if it wasnt for his attitude problem, but who knows maybe Berbatov fits the bill? From what I have seen, his style does resemble (a little bit) the great Marco.

But then of course, Galliani will come out and give us the usual BS---"He's too expensive" "We cant compete with anyone anymore, serie a sucks" "Spurs dont want to sell" "We have Boriello, he scored 19 goals" "We offered 10M, but they want 30" and the list goes on and on.

Benzema is the top choice for me. But he will not leave this summer I am sure. Eto'o second choice, villa third.

I vote for Eto'o since it is this summer. Although I rather wait and bring in Benzema next season.

well kris, I hope some surprise from the Management, just like when we all expected Canna to come, then suddenly Nesta who showed up.

I don't expect that. I expect us to get Ronaldinho when the price is right... That is no surprise. Any other big one will come next year.

If there is a surprise, then that is a low key one. for sure it would be nice with some new young blood...

I expect our transfer directors to start think for the future and buy yang player like Huntelar or Adebayor or Mario Gomes (I think the best solution because his price is lower but I dont think that hi is in a bad form and we should buy next Birof) but it will be not bad decision to get beck our former dtriker Hernan Crespo!!
