SuperPippo: No Foreigners!

Filippo Inzaghi has told Milan not to sign any foreign strikers this summer because the Italians they have at their disposal are already good enough.

The Rossoneri have had a miserable season, having crashed out of the Champions League in the last 16, and struggling in fifth position in Serie A.

This summer the club is expected to splash out on a top-class centre forward, and a whole host of overseas stars have been linked, including Didier Drogba, Emmanuel Adebayor, Dimitar Berbatov and Mario Gomez.

Inzaghi however has called on the Milan hierarchy not to sign any foreigners.

“In my opinion, all that will be sufficient for Milan in the summer is a few modifications,” he said.

“You do not need to make any revolution, much less with regards to the attack.

“Here at Milan we have Pato, Gilardino and Paloschi who are guaranteed. Borriello is doing so well at Genoa, and who I would not hesitate in recalling. He is strong, powerful, and has grown very well this season.

“I repeat: I do not want any foreign bombers. At home Milan already have players stronger than many others, they just need to be given confidence.”
