AC Milan tactician Carlo Ancelotti discusses the difficulties encountered by the Rossoneri in the transfer market.

Many believed that AC Milan would have significantly strengthened its team this summer, filling the gaps that have conditioned the rather poor domestic season.

However, so far, AC Milan haven’t taken any direct action on the transfer market.

Thierry Henry chose Barcelona over them, Suazo chose Inter over them, and they must now restart their search for a striker. Many believe that a midfield and a defensive signing is also a must.

However, Ancelotti believes that the team is strong as it is.

"Suazo’s will to move to Inter was enough to avoid him joining us," said Ancelotti. "We liked Henry, but he receives a much higher wage in Spain.

"Barcelona don’t want to sell any of their star players, just like we don’t want to give away Kaka to Madrid.

"We already have a strong team. Remember that we won the Champions League without Ronaldo, and next season, he will be available.

"Then we have Inzaghi, Gilardino and Oliveira. We could play with one or two strikers and the most important thing is that we will have to be reliable."

The problem is Silvio and Galliani have used the same kind of rhetoric with the big signing last summer right. The big surprise that we were all waiting for which was Favalli and Oliveira. The previous surprise was Viera aka Golden flop award.

There really isn't a big signing to be had. It would appear that by now we would have signed them or there would have been speculation in that direction. Etoo is now a target of Arsenal and they are willing to pay the big money to sign him.
