Just now when I check out soccernet for the football result, the headlines is "Gerrard: We must spend big". But if you ask me, this "We must spend big" word is more suited to AC Milan, who despite winning 4-1 against Udinese in the last game, fail to clinch 4th place, and will play in the UEFA Cup next season.
Milan in the UEFA Cup?! That's disappointing by Milan's standard! And the last time they don't play Champions League football is 6 years ago! But surely, we have seen this coming, and so is the coach. It's just that the board think that by being AC Milan, they will have a long run in the Champions League, and finish 4th to qualify for the next one! But that does not always happened, not everyday is a Sunday!
By looking at their activity in transfer market, you really questioned their ambition! They certainly don't look capable of challenging Inter for the Scudetto this season with this squad. Though the evergreen Inzaghi keep scoring, he is 34 now and is susceptible to injury, not to mentioned the ever injured Ronaldo. Gilardino's form has been bad, but then Milan's failure can only be blamed on the board! By having Alexander Pato as the only player they are buying, and that also came at after winter break is frustrating!
Milan board owe the fans a big star striker! Milan had failed to replace Shevchenko, and had put Kaka with so much burden that affect his performance. So going forward, "Milan must spend Big!". Buy someone who can score to replace the ageing Inzaghi, and keep the squad. The squad is definitely not weak, just the attacking department, particularly the forward department is weak and do not have enough capable cover! Pato is very talented, but yet he is still a young lad and is one for the future.
On Inter winning the championship again, and Alessandro Del Piero winning the Golden Boot, I can only say "Congrats and well done! You guys deserved it! And so is Milan's participation in UEFA Cup next season!"
