It was in a really gossipy newspaper/magazine article. I remember it quite clearly. I fully admit that I like reading Chi now and then (Chi is an Italian gossip magazine somewhat similar to Hello! in the UK or People in the US). There are pictures of Cute Footballers At The Beach sometimes too. (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

I hear Georgian mafia does nasty things to Greek mathematicians. Anybody have experience in writing obituaries?

Maybe Rest in Pieces...or something like that.

You know, Jack, if that were true by now I'd have told Barbara to ditch you. (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

(and then we'd both push you into the piranha tank so R7 could have some company)

Ronaldo getting injured will only increase our problems because getting Drogba won't be a solution to losing Ronnie because they are different types of strikers, that would probably work great together but they cannot replace each other

Honestly I don't think that's correct. I'm not saying their style of play is exactly the same, no. I say Gilardino is the type of player who performs well when he plays alongside a supporting striker; Drogba is both an in-box and supporting striker, he is a complete striker in every aspect IMO. all we needed in the past five games (before Lazio) was someone who can put the damn ball into the back of the net. Gila and Pippo, for some reasons, either didn't get enough balls to to so, or couldn't do that simple tap when they were in front of an empty net. why? I think they need a supporting striker, especially Gilardino. his performance clearly improves when he's being played with Ronaldo. if we accept that Drobga is a SS, we should also accept that he is exactly what we need right now.

Man... I wish I knew Italian. (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

Can I ask something... you have learned Italian yourself or you were born Italian-American?! (I know all the Italians are in NY and you're from DC but...)

Drogue Ba and get Drogba!

(IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) GREAT!

Drogba is not exactly like Pippo and Gila but he is far from being a supporting striker ala Ronaldo. He cannot run at speed at defenders and be creative enough to make a great pass to someone like Gila, Ronaldo can do that.

Drogba is more like Toni, he can play outside the box, hold off players with his strength and turn them, and score the spectacular goal. And can also score from outside the box, but he is still far from a supporting striker. And would be a better replacement for a player like Gila rather then Ronaldo

She learnt Italian from all those countless interviews Dida gave...(IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

(IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) She's Tony! (That is TONY=TO New York... the first Italians who emigrated to the US said "To-ni" when asking about directions to the town!)

Drogba and Pato would combine really well. And Drogba could really play as sole striker with Kaka supporting. But Gila rocks though.(IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

Drogba can't run past defenders? (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/ohmy.gif) I don't believe it because I have seen him do that not just once but numerous times. of course he doesn't have Ronaldo's technique, but he can do what matters: supporting other strikers.

What about playing Drobga as a lone striker. wouldn't he still be able to save us from scoring crisis? I think he would.

My grandparents are from Calabria, the southern part of Italy where Gattuso is from. And they did emigrate to NY originally (I've even got copies of their Ellis Island records) but moved out west as Grandpa worked for the railroad. I actually grew up in the Rockies.

And Jack, even if you've now moved on to Alice, can we still push you into the piranha tank?(IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

To be serious for a moment, i'm half tempted to go to the magazine shop tomorrow. By that time, they'll have today's issue of France Football. I'd like to read what Drogba actually said. (And yes, I speak French too. That, I learned in school).
