Milan To Swap Gila For Borriello?

Latest reports emanating from Italy suggest that Milan will swap Alberto Gilardino for Genoa’s Marco Borriello in a one year loan exchange.
Gilardino’s days at Milan have been numbered for quite sometime now following a third hugely disappointing season with the club.
Borriello meanwhile has been a revelation this campaign, and his 18 goals for Genoa currently make him the Capocannoniere in Serie A.

The 25-year-old is co-owned by the Rossoneri, after they sold half of his contract to Genoa last summer.

At the end of the season Genoa and Milan are due to discuss where Borriello’s future lies. Latest reports suggest that he will move back to Milan on a one-year loan deal, with Gilardino going the other way in an identical deal.

At the end of the 2008/09 campaign it will then be decided whether or not to make this arrangement permanent.

Meanwhile another player who is seemingly on his way out of San Siro is Christian Brocchi. The 32-year-old could move to Sampdoria in return for Paolo Sammarco, who is also currently on a co-ownership deal with the Rossoneri.

Sammarco has impressed this season for the Blucerchiati, scoring five goals in 25 Serie A appearances from midfield.

Our strikers:

Pato (1), Inzaghi (2), Gilardino (3), Paloschi (4) + Borriello (5) and Oliveira (6)

Pato - only thing he needs is experience and with our guys here, he'll be getting that pretty fast. Our hope for next season. He jjust has to get over that injury-phase all strikers go through when starting in Serie A.

Inzaghi - we cannot rely on him but he's a cat with nine lifes. And I've stopped counting,..

Gilardino - has to go. No chemistry with Milan, no charme, no right feeling. Not Milan class. He should be attratct clubs like Fiorentina, Lazio, Roma and Juve. He deserves a second shot, but in a new club.

Palsochi - one of the few who got something out of this poor season. I'm sure he'll keep up the good form next season.

Borriello - the big question mark. I agree with dst, he's good for mid-table and lower teams but not for us. On the other hand, this has been the season of his career so far and he probably should be called back. Good news is that we have an ace up our sleeve with him for the summer negotiations.

Oliveira - he's a proverbial lemon IMO. Should sell him to a Primera team.


So for next season:

OUT: Gila or Borriello (cause I doubt we'll sell both) and Oliveira
IN: 1 class striker + Ronaldinho (if we get to him)

So we'll have: XY [Drogba/Shevchenko/..] (1), Pato (2), Inzaghi (3), Borriello/Gila (4), Palsochi (5)

If Ronaldinho comes it'll be the extra factor. Van der Vaart - would be great but it's Dinho or noone for the SS I suppose.
