Sheva replacement

Van the man for Milan?

Among all the rumours that have been sparked by Sheva's departure, Milan have most strongly been linked with Ruud van Nistelrooy. The Dutch striker, who has scored an amazing 150 goals in 200 games for Manchester Unied, has had a well-publicised fallout with Sir Alex Ferguson.

Milan are reportedly keen to bring him in, as they are on the lookout for a big name striker to replace Sheva. Here's what the BBC's site had to say on the rumour:

Milan 'eyeing Van Nistelrooy bid'

AC Milan are contemplating a move for Manchester United striker Ruud van Nistelrooy as a replacement for Chelsea-bound Andriy Shevchenko. Van Nistelrooy is reported to have fallen out with United boss Sir Alex Ferguson, while Shevchenko is about to begin talks with Chelsea.

"Van Nistelrooy is the man we want," an AC Milan spokesman is quoted as saying in The Sun newspaper. "He is one of the few players in the world who could replace Sheva."

Well, if you ask me, i'd say Van Nistelrooy would be a thousand times better than someone like Drogba. The fellow has aquired a rather ill-advised image as a diver, but his goalscoring record is beyond doubt. Scoring 150 goals in as little as 200 games in a league such as the EPL is something extraordinary.

I'd still prefer Ibra or Adriano if we could lay our hands on either of them, but in the likelihood that we won't i believe Van's the man.
