Crespo indeed is a big doubt, as Chelsea are loathe to sell him, and would want a fortune for him if we do insist on buying him. Recall that Mourinho even called Crespo after the Man U match to reiterate how much he (Crespo) was figuring in his (Mourinho´s) plans.

The situation is mercurial however, as player power is at an all time high and Hernan may opt to flex his "player rights muscle", and insist on a transfer.

It must be noted that next year is World Cup year, and players keen to make their national teams will be anxious to get playing time. With Gilardino´s emminent arrival, Crespo could (and probably would) want assurances from Carlo or Jose for a starting role, which Jose is in a better position to offer, as opposed to Ancelotti (IMO).

JDT is the least prolific of all our strikers (I may be wrong, but I doubt it...

statistitian in the house?) and though he made an excellent contribution to the team last term, this season, when we needed a forward to fill the gap, he failed dismally.

We therefore need a better player, and Pippo is a goal scorer...there is no question about that, with the head, foot, shoulder, somehow, this match-stick legged Italian just manages to score goals, and that is what we pay forwards for. Goals...simple as that.

If you dont score, you sit on the bench, or leave.

JDT IMO will leave only if Crespo stays...that to me is the crux of the matter.

Personally, I would want Crespo over JDT. Results show that Hernan is a better striker than JDT. Simple.

I do not say that... I have just reminded MK that JDT was not benching last months and not playing at all

I agree with Milan selling Thommason, he is a very average player who doesnt convince in front of Goal (see Roma game), I agree though we need a player like him a forward (or second striker) to give some variation to the front line.

Then again I would be after Miccoli for this position, so what do I know?!

and if any one offers £12m for Thommason Galliani will drag their hand off!!
