    So now that we got Gilberto, I honestly think Gilardino would be better than Dafoe and this is coming from a guy who doesn't really like Gila all that much but have seen him play tons of times.
    Pros- he is awesome at holding up the ball and can hold it long enough for support to come. Especially if we got good width and speed, he can be useful.
    - He is a finisher, the guy can score period.
    -He is really good in the air
    -Very good at making runs and knows where to be, pure poacher. But we need a guy that can pass to give him service

    Cons- he will cost a lot to get him off Genoa (having a good yr)
    - he isn't a fast or quick player
    -not the best guys at 1 vs 1 with defenders, he depends on his instincts and where to be in the box

    The sad news is that apparently Duane Rollins drove by exhibition earlier and there was nothing to indicate preparations for a press conference.

    Beginning to worry that all the "later in the week" hype is going to be a bust.

    I'm starting to thing our "A" type DP won't even be Defoe OR Gilardinho... Not saying we haven't been working on those guys at all, but i'm starting to get the feeling that these guys are both distractions, so they can work on their real target without the media ruining their chances (as we have seen so many times before)...

    If everyone is focused on Defoe and Gilaridinho the smokescreen is working... Just a conspiracy theory lol

    Well if we sign him and he is playing up top with Gilberto then that's what we're calling him.

    If Kelly has the inside story (which he seems to have), I'd believe him that it's either Defoe or Gilardinho. Most likely the latter to partner Gibertino up front.

    Well done. (I'm assuming I finally caught the sarcasm this time. If not Milanista is going to shoot you).

    Also, it's DEfoe not DAfoe.

    I think it is. A smiley face at the end would make it unsubtle.

    Red Bulls have got to give.

    I bet we wanted Convey for about 100,000-130,000. And at NY he is probably at about 170,000.
    How are they going to afford him?

    That hasn't stopped an announcement in the past. Usually "the player is elegible for selection upon receipt of his ITC..."

    Lol. I thought that looked weird when I wrote it, but I had to rush out so I didn't have time to double check. Too many Brazillian names end in "inho"

    guy had no heart for shirt he wore...was always laughing it up after the game with players from the other team after we blew it late or loss...was first off the pitch other times...was half way down the tunnel after the final game of the season until someone dragged him back out to join the rest of the team as they came over to thank the supporters

    Well done Drake.

    Seriously though, that's one hell of a recruiter to have on our side in this day and age.
