to be honest, i'm not sure Boriello would be an upgrade on last season's Milito...but anyway, my point was that Inter suffered from many reasons this season, one of which is Milito's form...so to try to compensate a player of the caliber of Milito by Boriello is certainly welcome by any Milan fan
and again, I'm not sure why they would need Boriello when they have Pazzini...please nobody tell me that Boreillo can play on the sides...or Pazzini...

Leo and Borri are old friends.
Besides, Borriello and Pazzini are different kind of forwards. Borriello's teamwork is better; he is strong, can hold the ball, can be a postplayer or even defensive forward. Pazzini is a poacher.
I don't think both can play at the same time, but they can be tactically choices for the coach.
However, Leo had Borri and Hunter at Milan and made the latter play winger, so anything could happen

Why is Fabregas too expensive as Galli says or keeps saying.€35-40 million and he's on 90,000 a week offer him 15-20,000 more a week .well it could be smoke and mirrors or truth but he isn't as expensive as a messi Sneijder cr7 or Torres ..he is affordable and a great player .

Galliani and Allegri are in London now.
Bale, Fabregas or both?

Or maybe they're there to sell Onyewu to Crystal Palace?
Most likely just to visit the Champions League final...

At the time Milan signed him he had been a standout for several years for Standard Liege and was a rock on defense for both club and country. Once he came back from his serious injury he wasn't nearly up to par for the USMNT last summer and maybe will never be the same again. But when Milan signed him he had some promise and might have developed into a player who could have helped the squad. We'll never know how helpful he might have been, but I don't think it's fair to say he was awful. He wasn't anything, really, since he was seriously injured before he had a chance to play.
Other than the friendlies and before the injury, he played 3-4 times as a substitute. I know this is less than a handful of games but when u manage to do NOTHING right every time, it is hard to wait for a 29 yr-old to improve on that.

But then somehow he was the best CB in the confederations cup in 2009 and that brought him to Milan. Sometimes I have a good week at my job, but they don't promote me to CEO because of it.
He most certainly did not play three or four times as a substitute in competitive matches. He played 30 minutes subbing for Nesta in a Champions League game against Zurich (Milan didn't allow a goal while he was in there, so he couldn't have been as bad as you claim). Aside from that, his only action was in three friendlies in the United States during the summer. He actually did some nice things in those friendlies, although he also showed he needed work in some areas. He was 27 then. So, again, you don't really have anything on which to base your opinion aside from the general attitude he faced from the moment he joined the club which was that because he's American he automatically sucks. Few Milan fans were willing to give him a chance from day one and once he was injured he had no way of improving his game and winning the fans over. So I stand by my assertion that Gooch was an excellent player for Standard Liege, an excellent player for the USMNT. We'll probably never know if he could have developed into a useful squad player for Milan had he not suffered his injury.
And why would you give a thumbs up to a comment about how mediocre Gooch was in MLS when the guy never played a single game in MLS nor was he ever contracted to any MLS club?
