AC Milan chief Galliani rules out striker signing
tribalfooball.com - September 25, 2007

AC Milan vice-president Adriano Galliani is adamant they won't buy a new striker.

"It is not written that the strikers must always be the ones who score," said Galliani. "We wanted to have three forwards on hand, but now Ronaldo is injured and we knew that (Alexandre) Pato would be only available to us in January.

"However, we will not buy any new forward because we already have the new purchase who is Pato."

There's a difference between having 3 strikers and having an unproven kid, a guy that's off-form, one that's spent his career in the injury room and an old man.  (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

Exactly! But it is Galliani talking... he'd never say that we indeed ARE after a player (for many reasons) and this time... anything he'd say would sound stupid cause there's no doubt that we desperately need one!

i tried to find something witty to say...but the only thing i could come up with was...

Had Gila been on form and scoring, then there would have been no need for another striker. And if Ronaldo was fit and available then we definitely won't need another striker.

Out of the two, Ronaldo is much more dependable than Gila ... So, yeah Milan should have pressed to bring another one (other than Pato..), but I guess the Milan management wanted to give Gila a chance ... Remember in the summer when his future was in question, Milan had faith in him. But I guess by January Milan will already bring in someone else, IF Gila keeps it up (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)
