Striker worthy the place of Andriy Shevchenko

No Drogba please. The guy is horrible in every aspect. The only thing he has is strength but that is not enough to lead a forward line in Milan. He could only mess up the deal as he will bring the price of Sheva down but we will get a sh!t player in return. Drogba + $ = Chelsea victory / Gallas + $ = Milan victory!
As for the replacement, Eto'o; Ibrahimovic and Cassano are my first choices.

Eto'o can finish, has a great pace and great awareness of where other players are as well as he has great dribbling mostly because of his pace. It might mean however that we spend all we get from Chelsea on him because he will cost a lot.It might be a possiblity however given the increasing links with Barca and Torres.

Ibrahimovic is a great player. Whoever says that he can't finish and he sucks obviously is only speaking because of their personal dislike of the player and not looking at the situation realistically. I don't really like Ibra's attitude either, but that can't make me say that he is a bad player. I didn't like Pippo's dives too before he came to Milan, but look at him now. The truth and the fact is that Ibrahimovic is and will definetly be one of the greates strikers in the world. The type of skill and control over the ball that this man has combined with the size that he has is amazing. It is true that he didn't have the best of seasons, but I am positive that next year the goals will come again like they did in his first year for Juve. Juve's scandal might be a great chance for grabbing him away from them.

Cassano is in no doubt a great player. We all remember his Roma days and we all remember the 2004 European Championships. It has been a bizzare year for him as he has hardly played, but noone in their right mind can deny the quality that Cassano has. After all, I find it really difficult to believe that Cassano forgot how to play the game in one season. The only reason why he did not play in Madrid was because their coach was affraid to bench Ronaldo and a horrible Raul who hasn't played good football for years now. Cassano might be the perfect player for us as he might also come pretty cheap, as I don't think Real are very keen on keeping him.

As for the other players that we are linked with, some are I think pure rummors and others are jus not good options. Suazo for example looks to be a good player, but I am not convinced by these 1 year sensation players. They have one great year and burst on the scene by being linked with the best clubs in the world. I am not denying that he is a good player and that he might have success, but I am not quite sure if we can put our faith in him.
Adriano on the other hand is a great player, but I would not put in front of Cassano, Eto'o and Ibrahimovic. He is my choice if we can't get these three, although I don't know if Inter would be willing to give him to us unless they get a great forward from somwhere.
Van Nistelrooy gives me mixed feelings. He is a good player that scores a lot of goals, which in fact might be what we need. The only problem is that he is too similar to Gilardino and Inzaghi. Even thought he has size, he is not the type of player that will win you long balls like Ibrahimovic will, while his pace is not great either. Getting him will only dull up our forward line as we will have no versatility at all. If this signing happens then I hope I am proven wrong.

To put them in order I would say: Eto'o, Ibrahimovic, Cassano, Adriano, Van Nistelrooy.

I cannot believe all this crap being spoken about Drogba!! Also, comparing him to Vieri is a little excessive because Vieri a billion years older than him and probably won't be playing soccer in the next 5-10 years whereas Drogba will. This guy is a beast, 10X better than many of the strikers being mentioned when he is playing at his best. He also said the problem is not him but Chelsea. I can name you a billion flops on other teams, with massive amount of talent, who fluorished at Milan!! All I'm saying is Drogba at Milan (hopefully also Gallas) is nothing but good news.

Why does everyone either put Gallas at left back or behind Kaladze in the lineup? Pay attention people!!!! The reason Gallas wants to leave Chelsea is because he does not want to play anywhere but in the center. If he comes to Milan, he will be a center back. Not a left back. Not a right back. Not a goalkeeper or a striker or a midfielder. He's not coming to Milan to be any of those things or to sit the bench. He will be a center back. He will start alongside Nesta and that will be that.

I'm not a fan of Ruud, but didn't Drogba literally lead the Ivory Coast to the World Cup qualification and wasn't he one of the best stikers in the world wanted by every single big club in Europe? Oh, and didn't Chelsea cash out an impressive $45 million, about $10 million more than what Chelsea is willing to pay for Sheva. Drogba has the size, strength, and power to dominate in Serie A. I will admit the Campionato is tougher than the English league. The defense is harder to get by and the game is a lot slower than the English one but I know that Drogba has the ability to adapt to it and probably excell at it. Also, Ibrahimovic only scored about 8 goals this year. Even sucky Del Piero scored more than him. So I have no idea where all the praise towards him is coming from or even for Cassano in this case. Cassano hasn't proven he is a consistent player or even a great player in the last couple of years. I possibly believe the best solution is getting not only Drogba from Chelsea but also obtaining Crespo and Gallas. Other players I believe should also be highly considered are:

Luca Toni
Samuel Eto'o
David Suazo
Adriano (remeber the transformation of Pirlo and Seedorf)

Man...sounds like over this board people watch la liga and epl much more then serie a.

epl is faster then serie a?????
then what about pool vs us in cl final????

Drogba is overrated player...Torres is hyped too much in spain.
I better get suazo or cassano....adriano is great choice too

wow, chillax Rick!! It was only a possible line-up as Gallas does have the ability to play left back. I didn't know that was the reason he wanted to leave Chelsea.

epl is faster then serie a?????
then what about pool vs us in cl final????

Epl is faster than serie A, and that is a proven fact. Ask anybody who watches serie A and the Epl and they will tell you it is faster and a lot more goals are scored. Only in Serie A do you have so much focus on defense, and it is greatly represented in the national team.

SHEVA IS IRREPLACABLE !!! but i think......FERNANDO tORRES WILL BE GREAT

No baresi...its the english media who overrates epl and calls it faster.
Its not fast.
Liverpool,chelsea are way too slow teams.

exactly! finally somebody mentioned it..

sheva leaving = i see that gila will shine this season espacialy in the world cup. and i think lippi will teach him a couple of things that will help us. in my view gila will take sheva's role and milan will buy a box player, cuz we've seen gila moves a lot but pirlo was watched and gila has a lot potenial then sheva the past season. any great box player will do the trick, drogba and kuyt are great choices cuz they have a strong body and good at headers.

1)Toni(cuz he will get along very well with gila)
2)adriano (if my theory is wrong)
3) Etoo ( a shining star can do both adriano' and toni's jobs)

no more box players- we already have 2 of the best....

seems like its going to be Drogba.. damn I really dont know who I want.. no1 can replace sheva .. why dont we try to go for Cassano or Ronaldo?
