I wouldn't mind Borriello, but we must get a world class striker for ourselves... and I'm really tired of this Sheva return speculations in every single transfer window... But it was a win-win situation for both clubs. even for Gila himself.

QUOTE AC Milan vice-president Adriano Galliani insists his club remains in the hunt to bring Chelsea striker Andriy Shevchenko back to the San Siro.
The Milan club have kept tight-lipped about transfers since completing the signing of Mathieu Flamini from Arsenal at the end of the season.
But Galliani insists his club are not talking because as yet they have nothing to report.
"It's not that I'm not talking to the press, it's just we've got nothing to say," he told Italian newspaper Corriere dello Sport.
He continued by explaining that the Rossoneri are also attempting to land Barcelona defender Gianluca Zambrotta, but are finding negotiations with the Catalan club hard going.
"The difference is the same today as yesterday: two million euros," he explained.
"The player wants to come to Milan, the Barcelona directors know it too and I hope that the deal will be done.
"But Barca is an expensive place to shop: you go near them and they start asking for 30, 40, 50 million which are figures which just aren't compatible with anyone's budget."
Galliani went on to reveal Milan are still in pursuit of former player Shevchenko, who they see as a replacement for Alberto Gilardino should he move to Fiorentina.
"We're looking for an attacker. If Gilardino goes, we'll be looking for two," he said.
"Today I'll meet with the administrator delegate of Fiorentina about Gilardino."
On Shevchenko he added: "We are in constant talks with Chelsea and also with Shevchenko, but it also depends on them.
"If they let him go on terms we're willing to accept then we'll take him, otherwise we won't."

A 21 year old becoming numero uno choice in his first season from match 1. It just doesn't seem historically accurate. Oh don't worry he'll number 1 at Lyon instead (IMG: http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) (I hope not though!) QUOTE (aLbErTo @ May 28 2008, 03:20 PM) Barzagli race is over, apparently he has signed for wolfsburg, so two former palermo players will go together to Germany...don't know how good is this for italian football, as Zaccardo and Barzagli are both good defenders... Yep, and now it's reported that they're after Quagliarella (IMG: http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) By the way, now that Gila is gone I'm sure that we won't have any other Italian striker as the first choice until Paloschi confirms (if he ever does) his abilities (IMG: http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/cry.gif)

It's just the way our team is structured and the type of game we play. We either need a player who is strong and dominant in the air, and can play with his back to the defenders. A complete target man like Bobo Vieri in his heyday, or we need a skilled technical player as forward who can take on and beat defenders, has a good first touch, can shoot with both feet etc.
Now if you look at the Italian forwards, there aren't any who fall in either category, except...
Toni, Del Piero and Cassano. All the rest are compromises on one or the other.

alliani The Joker Offers Ancelotti To Chelsea Milan general manager Adriano Galliani was in jovial mood today when asked about the rumours that Coach Carlo Ancelotti was set to take over at Chelsea.
Almost every top coach in world football has been linked with the vacant manager’s job at Stamford Bridge, following the sacking of Avram Grant last week.
One of these has been Milan’s Carlo Ancelotti, and Galliani has responded humorously to the speculation.
"We are in negotiations with Chelsea,†Galliani joked to journalists as he was leaving the Lega Calcio offices today.
“I asked ‘The Blues’ for 50 million Euros. If they are willing to include Drogba in the deal also, then they can have him.â€
The newly-turned comedian Galliani did not stop there with his jokes, as he was also asked about Alberto Gilardino, who today completed his transfer to Fiorentina.
"Yes, now we need two strikers,†he noted.
“Maybe we will even ask Chelsea for Shevchenko and, maybe we’ll get Mourinho as well, why not?.â€
Mourinho is expected to succeed sacked Inter coach Roberto Mancini over the coming days.
As he is joking so expect some thing from here to be true

QUOTE (dst @ May 28 2008, 09:46 AM) WHAT!?!?!?!?!?Why did they do that? Why would anyone sell that car? Next thing, you'll tell me they owned a house inside the Palace of Diocletian and they sold it too! (IMG: http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) ..well, the car was in a bad condition since one drunk biker hit right into the front part. We had to either do a major renovation (which would cost as millions considering the parts are "not avaible"), let him rott in our backyard or sell to a italian collectionist. We did the third and I'm sad, but it had to be that way. The FIAT ownership really hurts. Remember the golden days of Pininfarina, Alfa Spider and Zagato, and the domination in F1? Oh,...but it had to end badly, after that period with Alfasud, Alfa 33 and all the other not so bright moments.. But nowdays FIAT's just holding them back and commercilized them even more (the Mito model). As for the C8...my dream still is that Spider model Dustin Hoffman drives in...the Graduate? Or the version before that...Hmh, I guess I'll have to work hard for such babies..

It's just as odd in Italian, Fillipo. The article accurately translates what Galliani said. Something interesting seems to be going on.
