As for Pato, don't think it will be as instantaneous an introduction as implied, he's amazing but will still be blooded in, it'll be quite a switch from South American flow football to the more tactical slower game in Italy so Gilardino still has that front locked off- patience is the keyword here, he's done it for AC Milan before and he'll do it again.

The sad thing is that he needs time and time is something Milan can ill afford. And yes, Toni would have been an ideal signing! I’m glad someone agrees with me on this.

Gilardino is still very much a classy striker with excellent technique and a goalscoring record to be proud of. But with Pato waiting in the wings and Ancelotti's job looking unsafe, Gila may end up leaving the San Siro before he has a chance to rediscover his form. I can't help thinking that Kaka would benefit the most by playing behind someone who can hold the ball up. Why didn't Ancelotti buy Luca Toni in the summer? Kenny is almost certainly correct.
