But Boriello is doing wonders with Milan. Many here considered that transfer stages better than Amauri to Juve.

Everyone, and I mean everyone, knew Amauri was better (19 Serie A goals or not, doesnt matter). And Milan only wanted backup striker really. But the funny thing is the financial difference in these deals when there is a clear quality difference . Amauri, cost 12m euro plus Nocerino plus half of Lanzafame. Borriello cost 10m euro to buy back HALF of his contract, plus half of Di Gennaro.
I would think main thing why Milan didnt went after Amauri was financial one of not wanting to sign a somewhat pricey striker when they were going for Ronaldinho. But its funny how the financial side of Borriello and Amauri is not that big of a difference.

Atalanta deny Floccari to Juve Thursday 19 February, 2009
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Atalanta director Carlo Osti denies his club are negotiating the sale of Sergio Floccari to Juventus but concedes the striker is free to leave in June.
Floccari has been a leading light for Atalanta for the last two seasons and has made a name for himself with his exploits in Bergamo.
There had been rumours he would join Roma this summer, but his agent Claudio Vigorelli declared yesterday that he expected the gifted hitman to sign for Juventus.
“He is an Atalanta player and there are no negotiations with any club,” Osti insisted.
“In June we will weigh up the situation and if an agreement is reached between clubs and with the player then we will decide what to do.
“At the moment we don't want to talk about it because we are just concentrating on securing Serie A survival, which remains our objective.”

Jack is right about the arguments given in the summer that Borriello might be a better transfer than Amauri. Not many members thought like that though but i'd like to mention that before Amauri destroyed us on Palermo-Juve, the majority here didn't want Amauri and didn't rate him high at all (and in "majority" i'm not counting those who didn't want him for one single reason, and that was "having enough quality strikers". Back then they did have a good point). We already had a better sub striker named Vincenzo Iaquinta,
All this is telling you one thing: They didn't even know Amauri. They never saw him play football. Since they didn't know him and he wasn't a youngster, he must have been an average or bad striker that only Secco could buy.
Then they watched him score a brace against us and suddenly he became a good striker.
That's a very common practice here. People judge players they don't even know and they usually judge by the age of these players.
You know this already though. You can see how great Aquilani is (after the first match they watched Aquilani play) and how awful he became (after the second time they watched him, when he played bad for Italy).

Too true, not accounting for the fickle nature of people.
But regardless of how suprising Amauri's quick transistion may be, that he is a dynamic and very good striker was obvious, only questionable thing was not him as a player, but how he will score consistently or not etc. Being reluctant towards his signing, as some were, because we had good enough striker force (counting them being healthy, neither Trez or Iaquinta been that much), is understandable (or wanting better strikers if we are going to sign one, though too expensive they would be, me personally, I wanted Berbatov the magician, superior to Amauri, without any doubt).
Saying mediocre players like Borriello is better, is not something I even acknowledged for a second. Borriello who I think is good enough player, but doesnt belong in top team as a starter, was repetetive enough about that in XT regarding NT level regarding him
p
He works hard and would quite good prima punta to have around, in the Iaquinta role (and Milan misses him even if he didnt score), but no Amauri at all. His 19 goals season didnt deceive me, because it was essentially one great first half of the season, and totally off second of it (14 open play goals, last half of the season, he only scored pks, 5 in total, nothing awing, more of a Di Vaio scenario now).

Borriello's a very decent player and he's been injured for most of the season. When he's played he's been pretty good and Milan fans rate him.
He's not as good as Amauri obviously, but his playing type is similar. His quality is on par with Iaquinta, but Borriello's younger, has a worse workrate but is a better target man.
