Milan after a striker - Adebayor, Drogba or Eto'o?

[Dellas]

How old is Borriello exactly?

Well frankly I was just waiting for Milan to say no because that is way too much money for Adebayor. Arsenal are inflating his price so that he stays otherwise they would be very short in attack.

Eto'o is still available don't forget, last I heard he was going to have talks with Barca so he surely must still be a target.

Borriello is 26 i believe...had his first breakout season last year with around 19 goals.

Milan have owned Borriello for years but it typical Milan fasion only now is he actually gonna get his chance.

He's always been a good player, they've just never realised it.

I don't know much about Borriello but to loan out a striker when you have an attacking problem seems a bit daft to me frankly. He may as well have been given the chance seeing as their only other option is Pato imo. Better late than never.

I think Boriello would work amazing with Milan.Playing ahead of Kaka and just a bit ahead of Pato would be mouth watering.Sadly Boriello isnt given enough trust to lead the line.Underrated I feel.

Yeah, even for the Azzurri he didn't get his chance.

I think if Milan stick with him consistently he'll be a success, they just need to show a bit of faith.

Leonardo:

“It’s no secret that we’re interested in signing a forward and we are looking at candidates,” he told BBC Sport.

“Drogba is a fine player and I really like Adebayor. We are just waiting for the right time to make a move.”

Milan: "Arsenal want Adebayor talks" Tuesday 8 July, 2008

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Arsenal sent a letter confirming they are ready to negotiate for Emmanuel Adebayor, announced Milan chief Adriano Galliani.

“Today Arsenal sent us a letter in which they declare themselves ready to negotiate with us for Adebayor,” said the general manager on television station Antenna 3.

“He has said he only wants to play for us. This is definitely a step in the right direction.

“Now there is only one very difficult obstacle separating us - the asking price, which will be very high.”

It is quite a turnaround, as the Gunners had always assured they had no intention of parting company with the Togolese striker.

Recent reports had him if anything closer to Barcelona, but the Rossoneri's statements suggest that was never an option in the players' mind.

This does not mean that Milan are set to unveil Adebayor any time soon, though, as they have already baulked at the £32m asking price.

It is believed they could be tempted into making the signature for around £25m, but are unlikely to go above that figure.

AC Milan claim Arsenal are ready to sell Emmanuel Adebayor, a month after insisting he was not available.

The Gunners told Milan on 13 June that the striker, 24, was not for sale.

But Milan vice-president Adriano Galliani revealed the Gunners have since written to the Italian club to say they have changed their position.

Galliani told Italian TV station Antenna 3: "I have a letter from Arsenal that says 'we will consider a deal if it still interests you'."

However, the clubs still need to agree a fee, with Milan unwilling to meet Arsenal's £36m valuation of the Togo international.

Galliani says he has spoken to Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger about a deal but that they are "divided" on the player's value.

Milan said in June that Adebayor was their "sole transfer target" of the summer, although they later said they could not afford him.

After selling Alberto Gilardino to Fiorentina and with Ronaldo out of action because of a serious knee injury, Milan have made signing a striker their top priority, although Barcelona also covet Adebayor, who scored 30 goals in 48 games last season.

"If Adebayor decides to leave, Milan definitely want him but it is clear that if an offer arrives from Barcelona it would be difficult for him to say no," Galliani added.
