    Ronan, it sounds like a fairytale, but I would much rather have the league wrapped long before then!

    Maldini couple of days ago.

    “No way,” smiled the Rossoneri captain, “I do not think about that at all, I promise that I will surprise you, but I won’t be sitting on a bench.”

    A piece from Channel 4…Borriello is the man and with the reinvention of Rino, we may be relying and counting on our Italian spine more than ever.

    Milan have a problem in attack. They’ve had one since their decision to sell Andriy Shevchenko left them short of options and they still have one now that they have four quality attackers in their ranks. The issue has morphed from who can they play, into who gets the playing time?

    Carlo Ancelotti has, at times this season, been suffering with tactical confusion given his decision to use a 4-2-3-1, a 4-3-1-2 and a 4-3-3, variations which have left his strikers in a state of flux. There is clearly not enough space in the team for Pippo Inzaghi, Shevchenko, Alexandre Pato and Marco Borriello, so which ones should he look to play most frequently?

    It’s an easy question to answer when you have Borriello and Pato. They are the youngest, the ones who can still develop into even better players and the two who have the fewest doubts over their ability to perform every week.

    In terms of Shevchenko, the Rossoneri faithful are still waiting to see if he can regain a resemblance to the player who was once the best striker in world football. Early signs suggest that he is improving, but at 32 it is unrealistic to expect him to reach his former heights.

    Inzaghi at 35 is not a player that Milan will want to rely upon. He will still score goals – he will probably do that even if he plays until he is 40 – but if he is not scoring he may as well not be playing.

    He does not contribute a lot to the performance of the team as a whole, and in the games where you need a player who will continue to chase down the ball for 90 minutes he no longer has the capacity to manage it.

    Borriello can be the man that Milan rely on this season. We all know about Pato and his talent, but his all-around game is not yet as complete as his Italian counterpart. Borriello is a very complete striker, good in the air, quick over the ground and with great finishing ability, but he also contributes a lot to the team when he is not scoring.

    In the Diavolo’s 4-1 win over Lazio Borriello was arguably the best player on the pitch even though he didn’t score – and a striker who does more than just net goals is worth his weight in gold.

    It is time for Borriello to establish himself as one of the best strikers in Italy, a man who can lead a club like Milan to the top of the table – a position where they should be.
