It's Oliveira.
If he will play like he played today he will be a starter without any doubt. Pippo in great form also so the way to the bench for Gila is short.
I hope to see Gila in good shape as far as possible which will create an interesting fight for the first team place.

A lot have been saying this over and over again, Oliveira can't push either Gila nor Pippo to the bench, only Gila and Pippo can fight with each other for the box-striker position. Oliveira is a neccesity in the type of formation we play.
Even though we have not lost once while pippo and Gila have played together, I still wouldn't put them together because Gila will surely not score, Pippo scoring is almost a certainty in every game, but Gila is not Pippo (no one is really) and he will need someone like Oliveira next to him to link up well with.
Kaka and Oliveira already have 'golden twosome' written all over them, they will have a great partnership with each other, even better then the one Kaka had with the Ukrainian, and lets not forget Gila is our future and he needs to start getting used to playing with Oliveira. So I would still go with the Gila-Oliveira formation for the serie A games.

Olé for Oliveira
At the end of a controversial summer, Milan have chosen Ricardo Oliveira as the substitute for Andriy Shevchenko. But, as Eurocalcio’s Lorenzo Zacchetti asks, is he the right man for the job?
Milan fans didn’t really appreciate the club’s summer transfer campaign and showed their anger with chants and banners during the Trofeo TIM at San Siro against Inter and Juventus. The tournament, based on three 45-minute matches, was just two hours after the end of the summer transfer window, which proved disappointing for the Diavolo’s lovers. Replacing Andriy Shevchenko after his painful transfer to Chelsea was ‘only’ Ricardo Oliveira. This Brazilian striker from Real Betis is not yet popular amongst the Italian supporters, despite his debut goal against Lazio.
The new arrival has also chosen the No 7 shirt, which belonged to Sheva, despite the team’s suggestion he should avoid another comparison with the Ukrainian legend. “For me there is no problem,” said the courageous Brazilian. “If one of the biggest football teams has chosen me it must mean I have the ability.” But he will also have to convince the most animated fans who have been spoiled by Silvio Berlusconi for the last 20 years. Everyone was waiting for a big signing from Milan this summer, mainly because after the eight-point penalty the team will have to chase Inter, reinforced by Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Patrick Vieira, Hernan Crespo, Fabio Grosso, Douglas Maicon and Olivier Dacourt.
Milan tried hard to respond to the city rivals by signing Ronaldo, a transfer which would have been a moral slap to Massimo Moratti, who is still hurting from the betrayal of ‘Il Fenomeno’ in 2002. When Adriano Galliani and Ariedo Braida arrived in Madrid everyone was waiting for the transfer to happen. After all, the two negotiators are used to a ‘mission impossible’. For example, in 1988 they signed Frank Rijkaard from Sporting Lisbon and Braida had to hide the contract in his trousers to stop the Portuguese fans from ripping it up.
However, this time the dynamic duo didn’t break Ramon Calderon’s resistance. The new President of Real Madrid was still mad at Galliani, who a few weeks ago had called him “a thief” for the insistent courting of Kaka. For this reason he ordered sporting director Predrag Mijatovic not to reduce the initial price of the player, which was set at £20m. Definitely too much for a man in his thirties, who has suffered far too many injuries. It is understandable that Milan abandoned the negotiations, but it’s surprising that they have decided to spend £12m plus Johann Vogel on Oliveira, who doesn’t seem ready to play ahead of Filippo Inzaghi and Alberto Gilardino.
Another surprise was the rush to sign him. Once the negotiations with Real were interrupted, Braida and Galliani went for dinner with Roberto Assis, brother of Ronaldinho and Oliveira’s agent, laying the foundations of the contract for the ex-Valencia striker. Afterwards, the two officials went to Seville by train, where they found an agreement with Betis for the player. After a few days, the Spanish club tried to increase the price – hinting at a better offer from Zenit St Petersburg – but the contract was sorted right at the end of the transfer market window on August 31 at 7pm.
Upon his arrival in Milan for the traditional physical test, Oliveira said: “I’m happy to play for the club, because there are many Brazilians. But now I want to be friends with all of the others. I will have to learn Italian quickly, because the only thing I can say at the moment is ‘tutto bene’ – everything is fine.” The Rossoneri faithful, instead, want to see if Oliveira speaks the same language as the champions on the pitch.
Born in Sao Paulo on June 5, 1980, Oliveira started his career at Portuguesa and then moved to Santos in 2002, forming ‘the marvellous trio’ with Robinho and Diego. In 2003 he arrived in Europe with Valencia. His first season wasn’t bad – 21 appearances with eight goals – and ended with victory in La Liga and the UEFA Cup, even if he wasn’t always playing in the first XI.
During the summer he transferred to Real Betis and in his first season in Andalusia he scored 22 goals in 37 matches to become ‘Pichichi’ – top scorer of La Liga – and also won the Copa del Rey. His second year in Sevilla was terrible though, after an accidental collision with Ricardo Carvalho during a Champions League match against Chelsea resulted in knee ligament damage.
The injury ended his dream of playing in the World Cup, although he has won the Copa America and the Confederations Cup with Brazil. After the injury the player’s career was in danger so he went on loan to Sao Paulo, reaching the Libertadores Cup Finals. But by the time his loan ended, Oliveira didn’t seem too concerned about returning to Spain and joined the team’s summer camp nine days late. Betis decided to punish him with a fine of €1m – never before has a player been fined so much.
“Finally I’m playing for Milan,” he stated. “Now that everything is signed I can forget all the troubles of my transfer, I’m really happy. I only want to think about football and show everyone why I’m here. I’m ready to give everything, to work for the team and to score.”
During his career Oliveira has always been used to playing as a lone striker. For Santos he was the focal point of a triangle formed by Diego and Robinho. For Betis he was the only striker in the team. He will have to change his attitude for Milan by forming a partnership with Inzaghi or Gila. The Rossoneri never play with less than two strikers, probably due to Berlusconi’s notorious diktat to Carlo Ancelotti.
On the Rossoneri side scepticism is high. Many fans are accusing Berlusconi of losing his interest to invest in Milan and are asking him to decide between football and politics. On the other hand, the more optimistic among the San Siro supporters are seeing the Oliveira case as a good start in the relationship with Roberto Assis. The final objective is naturally Ronaldinho – the dream of every Milan fan and of everyone who loves football.
The quarrel that the World Player of the Year and Rijkaard had during the European Super Cup has reinforced the chances of his future transfer to Milan. Rijkaard, even if he is denying any kind of problem with the Brazilian, said: “Today he is fundamental for Barça, but I can’t predict what will happen in a year. Milan? Well, if someone asks me for a comment about them I cannot surely say anything bad.” Milan are dreaming of Ronaldinho, maybe even in January – unless Oliveira surprises everybody.

Oliveira's Madrid Move Also Awating Fifa Approval
For reasons similar to Javier Mascherano, Ricardo Oliveira is also waiting for an exemption from Fifa before completing his loan move to Real Madrid.
The Milan forward returned to Real Betis from a loan spell at Sao Paolo on August 21, and then moved to Milan ten days later.
He will be thus be in breach of Fifa's rule - barring a player from playing for three clubs within a twelve month spell - should he play for any other team before August.
Real Madrid and the player's agent have together lodged a special appeal with Fifa, asking the governing body to exempt him from the restriction.
His recuperative spell at Sao Paolo was to help him get some football under his belt and recover from his serious knee injury last season, and Madrid believe that is reason enough for him to be excepted.
Javier Mascherano was also granted similar permission, clearing the way for his move to Liverpool, making Madrid even more hopeful of a positive response.
Fifa will respond within the next hours...

Ok .. Let's suppose Oli moves out by tonight .. Who would replace him ? Carraciolo (however his name is spelled); he is already cup tied (Palermo .. uefa), plus his name is too long, soo expensive to buy his shirt .. No wonder noone likes him in Sicily
I dont feel it's a good idea to loan him out !

If oli goes, the only player we can pickup is a quick fix since all the players who have been linked excluding bojinov are either old, useless or both.
The only some what reasonable swap would be for cassano.
Thank god karkookaolo is cup tied, its a disgrace such a player can be linked to our club.
Hmm but according to all reports, the loan will happen if FIFA look past the three team factor.

Oliveira not moving to Madrid
MADRID, Spain: Real Madrid won't be signing AC Milan striker Ricardo Oliveira as a replacement for Ronaldo.
Talks at Santiago Bernabeu Stadium between Milan vice president Adriano Galliani and Madrid officials stopped because of a FIFA rule which prevents a player from appearing for three clubs in the same season, news reports said Wednesday.
Oliveira spent last season with Real Betis but then was loaned to Sao Paulo for the three months of the European offseason. He joined Milan on Aug. 31.
"Oliveira played for Sao Paulo and Milan and Real Madrid would be a third (team) and that's very difficult. The lawyers were working on it and it's better to avoid risks," Galliani told Radio Marca.
Earlier Wednesday, FIFA authorized the transfer of Argentina midfielder Javier Mascherano to Liverpool even though he has already played for Corinthians and West Ham.

Galliani has been in the Spanish capital for three days, having secured Ronaldo's €7.5 million (US$9.75 million) transfer Tuesday.
Madrid's failure to sign Oliveira on the last day of January's transfer window has left it with only three top strikers — Ruud van Nistelrooy, Raul Gonzalez and Gonzalo Higuain. Most leading clubs have four.
The team has scored only 28 goals in 20 league games this season, its lowest tally in 16 years.

No Real deal for Oliveira
Ricardo Oliveira will terminate the campaign with Milan after his proposed loan move to Real Madrid collapsed.
The Rossoneri were seemingly willing to hand over their summer signing from Real Betis, but the move was just too complicated to complete so close to the transfer window’s closure.
“It was a bit complex,” noted Milan Vice-President Adriano Galliani. “Real Madrid would have been his third club this season after already appearing for Milan and Sao Paulo.”
Galliani was making reference to the FIFA rule which doesn’t allow an individual to play for more than three clubs in one term.
Although Liverpool have successfully managed to get special dispensation to sign Javier Mascherano from West Ham for the same reason, Milan and Real didn’t want to take any risks at such a late stage.
The Brazilian will therefore remain at the San Siro, a decision which also means that Andrea Caracciolo hasn’t left Palermo.
Milan were lining up the former Brescia man as a replacement for Oliveira who would have filled in for Ronaldo at Real following his Milan switch.
Meanwhile, Sampdoria have claimed that the Rossoneri were also interested in netting their star forward Francesco Flachi.
“Milan asked us for several players, including Flachi,” sporting director Beppe Marotta revealed. “But we decided to keep him in Genoa.”

Oliveira Enjoys Double HappinessFinally the living nightmare experienced by Milan striker Ricardo Oliveira has ended: as he came back to Brazil he could finally embrace his sister again, after she was kidnapped and held for ransom and has been freed by her kidnappers only a few days ago.
While at San Paolo, where he was also able to train with his old team, Oliveira also got the news that he has been called up by Brazil coach Dunga for the friendlies the Selecao will play on Saturday and Tuesday.
"For me it's a double joy - the Rossoneri player said to Brazilian daily "O Globo" - For the release of my sister and the call up of the national team. They were five difficult months, the worst of my life, in which I wasn't able to work as I wanted to. Now there's a new start ahead for me. I'm very happy for the call up and for me this is like the first time, it's very special."

MADRID, Spain: Real Madrid won't be signing AC Milan striker Ricardo Oliveira as a replacement for Ronaldo.
Does anybody else see the as another case of Premiership teams gaining special treatment from UEFA?
Firstly Liverpool get put into the CL while finishing 5th in their league, fair enough they were the holders. But letting them take Mascherano and not letting Madrid LOAN Oliveira? It's only a loan move, wheras Mascherano has actually made 'permanent' moves to three clubs.
Maybe next season Liverpool should ask to be given the CL title, I'm pretty sure they'll get it

Oliveira Makes Instant Impact
Ricardo Oliveira has made an instant impact with Real Zaragoza after scoring twice in the Aragónese side's friendly win over S.D. Huesca at the weekend.
The Brazilian striker has only enjoyed five training sessions with his new team-mates since joining the club on loan for a year from AC Milan.
After a difficult year in Italy, however, he recovered his smile with two clinical strikes in the pre-season encounter against the Segunda B team on Sunday.
Sergio García staked his claim for a place in the team next term with two goals of his own during hte opening 45 minutes, but it was Oliveira's appearance that lifted Zaragoza.
Having come on at the start of the second half, Oliveira had to wait only 14 minutes before guiding in his first of the evening and then capped a strong display by netting a second in the 89th minute.
The 27-year-old arrived from Milan to replace Ewerthon, who opted to return to the Bundesliga to join champions VfB Stuttgart this summer.
Coach Víctor Fernández also gave Francisco Pavón a run out as he continues to build for the new season, that will see Zaragoza participate in the UEFA Cup.
Following their stay in Huesca, Zaragoza will remain in Andalucia for their next three friendlies as they compete in the Trofeo Colombino against Parma and Recre, before taking part in the Trofeo Ramón de Carranza against Cádiz next month.
As Porty would say 'Sell Kaka, buy Oli back'!!!

In the game between Real Zaragoza vs. Palermo, Amauri netted a hattrick, but a familiar name, Ricardo Oliveira, netted twice for Zaragoza. Pretty exciting game. Oli blows by his defender well in the first goal, even though there is quite a keeper error, but also has a sweet strike from outside the 18 for his second goal, and looks to be in fine form in the preseason for zaragoza. i feel we were hasty.
