You cannot say that, b/c as I explained they are different types of players.

Robinho is someone who excels at other players movement.
Robben is someone who can dribble pass pretty much any defenders
While Torres of old was a great 1 on 1 player and all he needed was a long ball and isolation. However, he struggled alomost all the time playing for Spain due to playing like Barca.

That's exactly what we expect from him against barca,cause strikers won't get much help obviously in most cases.

But I have not seen this Torres for the past 3 years.

I think Cassano will be a bonus if he plays for Milan next season.
I really don't see how Milan will sell Ibra or Robinho at this moment, unless there is some insane offer.
SES is improving with more game time and I think he will the X factor coming off the bench for Allegri for next season.
Then it comes down to Pato and Lopez. Nomatter how talented Pato is, I have a feeling Milan is giving up on him or that his injuries are just too much to handle. While Lopez might not have Pato skills or talents, he is someone who can stay heathly for more than 2 months and is also someone who is willing to accept the bench role, a lot like JDT.

As for midfield, I think when Healthy, the current Milan midfield are very deep but they lack a superstar/leader. Also, guys like Flamini, Slowdorf, Ambro, Muntari, Gattuso, Aqua, and Urby are all good solid players, but none of them can dominate the midfield weeks in and weeks out. I think at least 3 or 4 of them must leave in order to trim the roster and allow guys like Strausser and Merkel to merge into the 1st team squad.

The best counter masters come to my mind are robben,torres,kaka and pastore,none of them seems availbale this summer.if pato leaves,tevez is still the most likely option.or we should invest on another big young talent like sao paulo's lucas who is damn fast too.
