[B]Collovati: Milan Need Strikers[/B]

Former Azzurri defender Fulvio Collovati believes that Milan blundered in the transfer market during the summer and are in desperate need of some strikers.

The Rossoneri have been badly struggling for goals this season and due to the injury of Ronaldo, currently have just three fit strikers in their first team squad. These are the brilliant but ageing Filippo Inzaghi, the hugely disappointing Alberto Gilardino and the rookie French youngster Willy Aubameyang. 

“Milan have few alternatives in attack,” said Collovati. “I looked at the Inter team against Sampdoria and they had Ibrahimovic and Crespo on the field. Then I looked at the bench and they had three forwards in Adriano, Julio Cruz and a player that Milan blew the chance of buying, David Suazo. 

“I think there is no doubt that Milan had the wrong transfer strategy in the summer. They should have also purchased an alternative to Dida in goal and a younger centre midfielder than Emerson who can represent the future of Milan.” 

Collovati was a World Cup winner with Italy in 1982 and played for both Milan and Inter during an illustrious career. He also won a Scudetto with the Rossoneri in 1979 and later represented Udinese, Roma and Genoa in Serie A.

Collovati knows,...but it's hard not to mention the things he did.

No offense, but if anyone honestly thinks Pato will make a noticable difference this season, they're kidding themselves. No 17 year old kid in todays footballing World is going to change anything.

As for Ronaldo, he can change things, unfortunately his withdrawal symptoms kick in and he becomes desperate to return to our injury room.

I know, I know. I wasn't saying you believed it, you were just the one that mentioned that's who we are relying on which is true. And it's a mistake!

Maybe we as fans are relying on him, but the team isn't.

I wouldn't be so sure about that. In the league, it was R9s introduction that turned us around last season, we seem to be waiting for the same thing to happen this season, too.

As for Pato, I don't think anyone is relying on him yet, just hoping.
