pish-posh, Sergio. If Milan has indeed signed yet another "Galactico" just remember that only eleven can play at a time. Anyway, the big news today is not about Gilardino (in fact that is still only a rumour, I believe), the big news is about Torino and Messina possibly being expelled from Serie A.
pish-posh my ass, Robert.
While only 11 can play at one time, having such a talented group of forwards at your disposal can do nothing but help a team like Milan that is always contending for the Scudetto, and as always, are going very deep in the CL.
Could you imagine a fresh Vieri and Tomasson starting for Milan in the early rounds of the CL, thereby giving Sheva and Gila some much needed rest?
You can't compare Milan's situation to Real's Galacticos. The big difference is that Milan acquires players that can fit their particular system, while Real just goes on a spending spree to grab any big name that is available, regardless of whether or not they can actually play together.
Yes, I did hear about that. I wonder how that could be with either one of those squads. From the matches I had seen, their attendance figures were very strong, and in Messina's case, didn't they just build a brand new staduim??
