He won't return to Milan IMO. Loaning him to La liga is only in order to improve his value to sell him next summer. If we wanted him back better and ready, Milan would have loaned him to another Serie A club.

Zaragoza joy
Elsewhere, three second-half strikes gave Real Zaragoza victory, leaving Levante UD propping up the table and still searching for their first win. Sergio García (63) and two goals from Ricardo Oliveira punctured the visitors' resistance.


another brace from ricardo !!!!!

Heh heh. I think I already mentioned this, when Oli was coming in, a couple of guys who regularly watch La Liga had told me that this was a great buy, and this bloke was on his day better than Torres.

Guess it's only in Spain.

I'm convinced Oli was just for the benefit of Assis, and to sweeten up the R10 deal. But now that that's not happening, we unloaded him and flipped Assis the bird.

But for what it's worth, sell Pato, bring back Oli...oh wait Oli already belongs to us (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

It would be nice to have him though, especially if Pippo were to retire. Maybe loan him out next season to a Serie A club.

good for him (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/king.gif) ... i'm happy he's enjoying his football now days (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

I'd like to see him back Milan. he may succeed this time! although he's already lost his no7 to Pato.

He is no Serie A quality. He had his chance .. Maybe a Spanish team will buy him by the end of the season .. He just isn't Milan quality.

Oli and Borriello are thriving (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/sleep.gif)

I know Oli has talent, but I don't think we'll see it at Milan, Zaragoza will probably buy him at the end of the year.

Not as a first choice striker, of course. as a good backup for times like now when we're desperately in need of another striker. for times like now when Ronaldo is injured and Pippo and Gila cannot score important goals in the league anymore (Gila's two goals to Lazio only came after we were leading 1-3, so they were not that decisive imo). I mean something like Inter's Cruz or Real's Saviola. but I doubt he accepts bench role in Milan...

And Pato (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/huh.gif)

Oli is far from Milan quality ... Even coming off the bench, Gila is 10x better than him IMO. Had he shown promise, Milan would have never offloaded him in the first place (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

Sorry to disagree, but I count Kaka's penalty as an assist from Gila. (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

And, wasn't the forum complaining that Milan's big issue was we don't shut our opponents off. Well Gila did just that.

Besides his contribution was visible besides the goals.

Gila imo was the best player on the pitch after Kaka. I'm not saying this is his turning point, my brotherhood would have to dissolve if it were, but he had a great match.

[KillerMax]

but he had a great match.

Yeah, after a billion poor ones.

I think some people on here are going to be in for one hell of a shock when Pato starts playing. He's not played a real competitive match.. EVER! Oli was a top striker in Spain and found it hard here, Pato has spent his career playing in a second rate Spanish league.

If Pato makes any noticable impact at all for the first season or two, I'd be very surprised. But come on, he's 18, I think people are believing the hype a little too much.

He was playing for Internacional... in Brazil's top division... (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif)

Although I do believe in the hype (mostly because it's been a while since we had a young unknown player in our hands -- that we're actually planning to use that is...) I won't be too disappointed and not too surprised if he didn't make an impact...

But he has more experience than Messi had when he broke into Barcelona's senior squad... and if he's half as good as Messi was back then... I'm gonna love him!

The Argentine and Brazilian leagues in my opinion are just a very pooor version of the Spanish league. In my view, he's not played one worthy game as of yet.

That doesn't mean anything. That is still much bigger than what Messi, Krkić and Dos Santos had experienced. And while Messi is a rare find, Pato is not less talented than the other too, judging from what I've seen! Pato could become very important for us next season!
