Still need a striker and the best names we get linked to are Liverpool failure Suso and Marseille's underwhelming Gignac.

Utter depressing the dross we get associated with.

Has Silva been injured? I notice Marquinhos and David Luiz have both played more than him this season.

He's lost a great deal of his star quality. Loss of form and injury last season. He's not the Silva we sold although he remains their club captain.

Gignac has scored 11 goals in 13 games so far, with Marseille being first. That's not bad.

Look at his career stats. He's 28. Another one having a purple patch now and it'll probably stop soon as he arrives. But his overall stats for Marseille are not exactly stunning. And it's an easier league to score in than Serie A. If he was a truly great striker he'd have got a gig in Serie A, La Liga, EPL, Germany etc before now.

You're right, not bad. For a Genoa. But we're Milan and this is the kind of striker we go for now.

Rumors about a Torres-Cerci swap today but apparently Atletico declined.

REALLY?!

Wonder how that one went:

Galliani: "Hello. Was wondering if you'd like a turd...sorry, a Torres, and you give us £20M rated Allesio Cerci in return?"

Atletico: "HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA NO"

Dortmund are interested in El Shaarawy. They want to sign him this January.

Yes, please!

Tuttosport claims that Milan and Inter will try to sign Destro as they are looking for a replacement for Pazzini and Icardi, respectively.

Milan had scouts present during Dortmund-Anderlecht two days ago (to watch Sahin, Gündogan, Immobile, Mbemba, Tielemans and Mitrovic).

Destro is totally overrated. I wouldn't like him with us.

Confirmed. They've made contact in the past 24 hours regarding his availability. Word also is Silvio wants a new formation - 4:3:1:2.

If we can get £15M+ for SES it's good business. They need a replacement for Reus who's rumoured to be off to Spain, and the world seems deluded into thinking SES is a good player. So...we could even get more. He has no baggage, so maybe a good £25M for him?

He's been a diabolical signing.

What's for sure is we are aching for a good striker. Immobile is a slightly underwhelming target but he's better than both Balo and Torres combined.

If we're going to sell SES to Dortmund I'd personally rather offer him + cash and get someone like Gundogan off them if it were possible. Immobile is no great shake either.

Personally I don't think this deal will happen anyway.

If Pippo really wanted to switch to a 4-3-1-2 he would have by now, SES is more a striker than a winger anyway. It's obvious he's sticking with the 4-3-3 no matter what considering he plays Honda as a winger and Menez as a "false 9"

I think Milan will invest in this window, they need to support this coach and further reinforce the team.

Though I believe the attack is the last department that we should be looking to change, the lack of goals from our strikers is worrying, SES is good but maybe in Arsenal he would be the world beater.

That said, I think a striker is necessary in this window.

Couldn't happen to a better club. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sleep.gif) That is unless they make a man out of him, and he fits in their plans. Otherwise, it'll just be a bad signing for them at a time when they cannot afford bad signings. We'll see.
