As much as I am an Ibra supporter, I really would not say he is Milan. Heck, I won't even call Baresi or Maldini Milan as they are only players. QThe only person I would call he is Milan is Berlu, as he is truly Milan, since his decisions are the bible for Milan.
Now, I stated it a few days ago, that to me,I still have a little doubt about Cavani due to the support he gets from the whole Napoli, Hamsik, Zuniga, Gargarno, Leveassi, Inler and Maggio.
IMO, I don't think Cavani can do what Ibra did this past yr with the same Milan team. I had this whole debate with Dev not long ago about Ibra dependent and I really don't want to get into that again. The thing is, Nocerino, Boateng, Gattuso(last season), even Muntari all surprised us with their performances in Milan and I think Ibra had a hand in that. Not to mention Pippo best game these past two yrs was playing with Ibra. I am not going to judge Robinho bc this past yr he was just crap while last yr he did well with and without Ibra. Slowdorf is Slowdorf depending on his period. As the only person who seemed to suffer is Pato, but I think it has more to do with his style of play and his injuries than anything.
I think a point I want to make is Ibra wages is not a problem for Milan bc his stats and performances proves that he is worth the money. The thing is, and I agree with Dev on this, Milan struggles when Ibra plays bad, but the question should be how come the other players do not step up. Then again, maybe they did but they are really not good enough. Nocerino, Muntari, MVB, And Ambro wont suddenly become, Xavi, Cesc, Iniesta and Tiago bc Ibra is not on the pitch, Abate wont become Cafu, Slowdorf won't start running, Aqua is not going to turn into the player all Italians hope for when he first played for Roma and injured players ain't going to heal themselves.
To me there are pros and cons of selling Ibra and I agree on both sides, no matter it is bc he is not getting younger and time to cash in to get a younger version of him or holding on to him as there is just not another player to perform like him......but the problem with Milan is not Ibra, rather it is the quality of the midfield and avoiding another injury massacre. I really doubt any top striker could have a good year with the current Milan midfield and the high possiblity of injuries to players.
