With Ronaldinho's arrival looking increasingly likely, have Milan's management got it right by going for the Brazilian? Would he be the key to a successful 08/09 season for Milan?

No. I think we need a GK and a CB more than we need R10, so while he could be a useful addition, I don't think he'll solve much. Remember, even with R9 in the team we were languishing in mid-table, and I'm not sure R10 can offer THAT much more than R9.

wait, we had r9 on our team? I can only really remember him making like 4 appearances. and this r9 ur talking about hasn't been r9 for 3 years..and despite all that, the games that he in fact did play in for us, we DID have an explosive offense. I remember a great milan side against napoli, a few games before he went down with injury, in which he scored twice and pato once.

With a past his prime, mediocre r9 we weren't half bad when he ACTUALLY played. With a motivated, hungry, still in his prime r10..there is a whole different explosive dimension being added to our team. Additionally, no more GILA means that even if r10 isn't the messiah, Borriello is not Gila and cud be better, and *crosses fingers*, pippo being healthy for longer cudda helped a lot last season, AND Pato will have another year under his belt. There are a lot of signs that we'll recover quite nicely..

the goal for this season is Scudetto but the minimal requirement is the champs league. It's good that our team's goal is the Scudetto, but after getting back into champs league with dida/kalac/abiatti, and our agy defense, There will probably be some defensive signings next summer in goal and post-maldini upon re-entry to europe..and our squad will be complete in time for Champs League 09/10
