van Nistelrooy - should we make an approach?

I'm hearing more rumours that Milan will sign RVN, and considering his price tag I'm not at all suprised. I hope we do sign him, but not as a replacement for Sheva, because firstly no one can replace Sheva, secondly these two players are totally different.

If we sell Amoruso or Inzaghi, buy RVN and another striker, my choice would be Torres, then we would be lethal up front.

Gilardino/Torres/RVN/Inzaghi sounds great too me. Gilardino will be our main striker, with his partner rotating between RVN and Torres as they may find it difficult in Serie A at the beginning. Inzaghi can play as back-up, and cover any injuries.

I AGREE torres is the man for the Job ... i have always stuck to this opinion and will always stick to it ...

Gilardino and Inzaghi is first strikers. Amoroso is a second striker or "seconda punta" like they call them in Italy. Sheva could play as both a first and second striker.

Cassano, Zlatan, Del Piero and Raul are classic seconda puntas. Henry is probably the best seconda punta playing at this point. Although Arsenal does seldom use a first striker. Tevez would be the best bet for us IMO. Barring him I would take Ronaldo.

NO WAY !!!! First of all he's another type then Sheva (although we can play another system then) but 2ndly i don't think him and Gilardino would fit together. And third, i'mn not a RVNR fan. I don't think he's a superstar striker although he scored a lot for ManU.

As talented as I think Torres is, I don't want us to buy him. Spanish players usually don't cope very well with Italian football, and I don't think Torres would be an exception to this "rule."

Unfortunately, the scenario I imagine is that we'll get Drogba as part of the Sheva deal. I don't like it, but I can definitely see it happening.

The good news is that if Drogba joins, we'll have a lot of money to spend on other parts of the team, which might not be such a bad thing.

Well, that really sounds great: RVN coming to replace the uneffective Amoroso, and Torres being the replacement of $hevchenko. That measures can give us a fantastic firepower on the attack!

You guys who want Torres have obviously only seen a video clip of him. A video clip does not show you consistency of a player which is the most important thing if you ask me. I think if I can make a clip of Simic that would make him look better than Cafu, but we all know that is not true.

Since we have been linked with Torres (2 years ago), I have been trying to kept an eye on him and watched him in La Liga. This kid can play good, but problem is, he plays one good game out of 10. I'd really prefer Podolski or Tevez over him. I know someone will say Torres is young and his consistency will grow when he joins Milan and matures, but trust me, I dont think so. Even when he puts in a good performance, he is not great.

We do not need Torres when there is players like Antonio Cassano who is having problems finding a place in Real, or players like Carlos Tevez. Ofcourse none of them will be able to do what Sheva does, but I think Cassano is the only one that will make us forget Sheva faster.

Well, so let's pick Cassano or Tevez! The crucial point is to get bright younsters that can grow with us, not tired primadonas in search of a 'football SPA'.

Holland coach Marco van Basten has told Manchester United striker Ruud van Nistelrooy to move to AC Milan to revive his career. (Various)

Holland coach Marco van Basten has reportedly advised Ruud van Nistelrooy to join Serie A giants Milan.

The Manchester United star has fallen out with manager Sir Alex Ferguson and could leave Old Trafford this summer.

Van Basten’s former club Milan are said to be leading the hunt, and the Mirror says that the Rossoneri legend believes they are the perfect club to revive the player’s career.

Van Nistelrooy’s future is set to be decided after the World Cup.

Van Basten may be a legend but i don't think he is right in terms of picking our replacement. I still hope that we net either Adriano or Tevez. Though i think that we will sign a either RVN or Crespo

Yea ive read the same thing aswell, do u think he will be a good enough replacement for sheva if the deal does happen? IMO i think he is very similar to the strikers we already have Gilardino and Inzaghi,so hopefully we dont get him ill rather we get either Adriano or tevez. I wont mind etoo but its highly unlikely he will leave Barca.

Well... if we sign Crespo to sub Sheva, them our board we'll have to write with capital letters on their foreheads: WE SUFFER FROM MENTAL RETARD.

ahahaha ur genio man

Crespo for Amoroso? Great!

Crespo for $hevchenko? NOOOOOOOO!!!!

This is the only place I'm even seeing Crespo's name linked to Milan now. All the talk in the media is either RVN or Drogba. So it would seem that if a striker is coming from Chelsea it would not be Crespo.
