[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.

Have faith. Hasn't Milan always taken up the challenge? Hasn't Milan made the impossible, possible over night (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/cool.gif)

What do Roma and inter have that we don't have ?! a good bench  (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) And ?! Well that is about it. Other than that, they would be motivated to play the Great Milan! This is a team that every player envies ... Every player wants to do good in front of Milan!

Last season, the team were broken in Serie A, which is why we lost both derbies and the Roma games ... The team was broken because inter were on a run away train and it was an unjust season.

IMO we are much stronger than inter or Roma. We can beat anyone. We are only lackinga  striker that scores!

And this season is turning out to be like last season

What do Roma and Inter have that's different?

Players who actually want to win the league and don't go out there to stroll games. They actually come out to play no matter the opponent or the players that the coach puts out, that's the difference.

And when have Milan stepped up to the challenge lastley in the league? Because I remeber us last season not being able to beat either inter or roma once. And let's not continue to make the same excuse we did last year, so far we are getting worse results then we did last season and this season we don't have any points penalties, we're actually supposed to start on a high from the CL win.

So I can't see why you still have hope that if we were to face a big team tomorrow like Barca or Inter that we would still win.

Until we get our acts together we won't be winning these types of games anytime soon. And yes it's partly the issue of the strikers but who's fault is that?

The league isn't a club target for this season! You guys really need to comprehend this. Though we will finish in the top 4, the club as a whole doesn't target the Scudetto this season. They have other objectives. The sooner you get this, the easier it will be for u to digest (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

You can't assess the team based on last yr. Well if your gonna do that, look at what we did to the team of the season 'united' !!! And if ur gonna do that, look at how we came back from 17th place to finish off at 4th place in the last 5 games of Serie A!!

What I am trying to say is .. You have to give this team credit. And saying Roma and inter are better than us is an exaggerated assessment really! Cuz we have yet to face them.
