i think what all have to understand is that Gilardino is being hunted and will be hunted by the likes of Roma and even Milan. When this happens, other big teams win out simply because Moggi wont go that extra step in trying to secure that player by adding another 5 million or so like milan would do. The way i see it is that Moggi has gone for a striker who Capello admires and a striker who really is capable of being a superstar, just like Gilardino and even Torres for that matter.
Come next season, if Saviola is able to join, its still a big IF, but it would be amazing to have Zlatan, Saviola and Miccoli as our future strikeforce. its a combination that has just about everything. And who cares if none are going to score 20+ goals because between them, they will score maybe 40 or even more. they can all score and create....and most of all, i think capello prefers that in forwards. thats why zlatan has always been a favourite of capello.
i say let Milan and Roma fight over gilardino, hopefully Roma buys him, goes in such bad debt that they have to sell all their stars
