Paloschi was sent out on loan to get some in game experience so that he can continue to mature as a player. A player can't really develop by sitting on the bench each and every week. This is especially true for Paloschi, who has seen limited actions the last couple of years due to his injuries.
I agree that we should have included Inzaghi in the CL list because we don't really need that many defenders and the man does deliver us goals. But the truth of matter is, I am sick and tired of players like him, who can't really be counted on for production any more, complain and moan about not having a larger role on the team. Pirlo did it, Seedorf did it, Gattuso did it, and now Inzaghi is doing it. Milan is about more than a team that was built to let Inzaghi get that CL scoring record. We are a team that is trying to win the title. If Inzaghi can't handle the fact that he is nothing more than a fringe player on this team, then take a hike and don't look back.
As far as that CL scoring record is concerned, we need to face realities. Raul is over four years younger than Inzaghi and in much much better physical form. Even if Inzaghi breaks the record this year, Raul will in all likelyhood take that record back next year. That record is not for Inzaghi to keep so lets not act like we are destroying Inzaghi's chance at history here.
