Alberto Gilardino to Milan??

From www.channel4.com

postive words for us from alberto:

Parma hotshot Alberto Gilardino seems to have his eyes on a transfer to Italian giants Milan.

The youngster has been heavily linked with the Rossoneri and he now admits he’d be happy to join the San Siro outfit.

"It is my dream to play alongside Andriy Shevchenko," he told Controcampo. "I think I would do well alongside him.

"I could play as the main target man, while he could come from a deeper position. There would be nothing better than partnering Sheva.

"He definitely deserves to win the Golden Ball. He always seems to score goals. He’s the best striker around."

Milan are believed to be interested in the Azzurri ace even if the club have recently ruled out any January signings.

But Gilardino has seemingly opened the door for a switch as soon as the transfer window opens in the New Year.

"Parma and myself have come to an agreement that I will remain until June but football is a strange game," he stated.

Milan do have offensive problems given that only Shevchenko is regularly finding the back of the net.

Pippo Inzaghi is sidelined until February with injury, while both Hernan Crespo and Jon Dahl Tomasson are struggling for form.

YES WE GOTTA HAVE HIM NOW

he wants to come.
he is italy's future.
he is the best replacement for super pippo.
he is established in serie a.

of course Gila is the man!

coming in Jan? if crespo is truely woken up... Gila, as well as the rest of us, will have to wait.

Gila is the most underrated player in europe..so many strikers reach soooo much more hype than him
i give you some stats about gilardino:

his last season, the first one as regular, bagan at parma after adriano's injury, which roughly happened 12 months ago.

so far has scored in serie a and italian NT (both under 21 and senior) almost 50 goals!!!!!! 25 in serie a last season (second top scorer one goal behind Shevchenko), so far this season 6/7 with a minor Parma without his best players, countless goals (almost 20) with Italian NT leading them as top scorer to U21 european title and third place at Olympic games

Why is he so underrated? When he will partnership along with Sheva (almost done deal) he will become the new Van Nistlerooy..not joking! The guy scores in serie a with an astonishing ease: stop, one second and goal from every position inside the box and even outside.Plus has showed to score when people expect him to do it, in other words he's not a smal teams terminator and high stage's choker

I really hope that your words will become true Gio! I would love to see Gilardino sign with us, I can think of few if any others that I would rather see us sign. Gila is already a proven force in Serie A to say the least and will be able to develop even further if he would join us. Italy´s NT will most certainly count on Gilas services for a decade to come and so should we. Envy, is what the others will experience when the see the headlines "Gilardino signs with Milan!". I just hope we get him now, in january.

So what is your take on that Gio, is there any chance of Milan making a move for Gilardino already in January?

I'm sure he scored 23 didn't he and Sheva got 24??

Well, the guy is a quality player. Like I have said, my personal choices would be Adriano or Tevez, but Gila is more than welcome as far as I'm concerned.

sorry i gave numbers and stats based on memory but i can mistake a few goals..anyway 50, 45 or 48 doesn't make any difference..gila is too good to miss him

After the yesterday's goal i think there aren't doubts anymore-.alone he put pressure on our whole defence and when he got one clear goal chance he scored it

Gilardino must be signed, he is only 22 besides that there are huge doubts about Inzaghi's fitness!!!

Reports say that Gila is already part of Milan's next year squad, but I don't take these reports as the perfect truth

Were there any doubts before yesterdays match in the first place?

maybe i confuse it with XT where i'm sure somebody questioned the fact gila is merely a one season wonder..but i know for sure some MIlan fans weren't totally convinced about it

I see...well, I'll admit to questioning his ability two years ago when I first started seeing him for Parma, but those questions were answered in quite a way since then.

---Gilardino---Shevchenko---

------------Kaka'-----------

hmm.. what a combination!!!

btw, how many assists that Kaka' needs to serve those two predators?

And wait until we replace Inzaghi or Tomasson with Torres. Three killer machines in the same team will make both Man U or Real strikers seem like primary school kids.
