[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.

Yes we won't win it, but I don't believe it was planned. Maybe last year with all the Calciopoli mess. But this year, after winning the CL? To decide to go just for CL is stupid and shameful for Milan if so. They want both but just with minimum resources. It's not like we had poor summer just this year it's a tendency.

I doubt the management or the coach thought they could go for both with the current players we have on the bench. That is why I say it is obvious.


Then another thing on people who say Milan don't invest in the transfer market. Give me one team in Europe today that has the amount of experience, cohesion, and team spirit as this current team has ? I think we can beat anyone on our good day .. But we don't have enough depth to go the distance of Serie A, still that doesn't mean we wont reach a CL spot. hell, I think we will reach it comfortably, taking into consideration our comeback last yr.

I don't get why everyone is complaining ? Sure the team has only won one game out of a possible 5 till now, but that doesn't mean anything in the long run. We just have to accept this team as it is. They have proved their worth, it is just another season!

I think the word "old" doesn't mean anything to this team ... When it is time to separate the boys from the men; Milan is always on top.

p.s. I want to the merda !!! I want Milan to humiliate them, when is this game ?? I want some revenge ! And I hope they have their best XI ready on that day!

Yeah, we have all that but the fans want a competitive team that won't give up at the start and leave the center stage for Inter. Other teams at least try to win both. CL is great but it shouldn't be on the league's expense. Just CL spot is not good enough for Milan in the league!! and people complain because winning the league twice for the last 11 years is unacceptable. And they are complaining because all the problems were predictable and still the opacity of the board is pretty damn frustrating. Instead of building a balanced team that can go all the way in both, we are concentrating only on Cl in which we gonna get far but can easily fail too (couple injuries or bad shape of some players). If Milan not going for both I see it as failure even if win CL. We are not Liverpool.
