Sven Goran Eriksson has already spent over £40million of Thaksin
Shinawatras money since replacing Stuart Pearce at Eastlands, yet
the Swede will again make a splash in the transfer window in the
New Year.
It is believed that Eriksson wants to sign AC Milan striker Alberto
Gilardino in a £17million move and link him up with fellow Italian
Rolando Bianchi, although the former Parma man insists he is
staying at the San Siro.
"Yesterday, I spoke with president Silvio Berlusconi and
(vice-president) Mr (Adriano) Galliani. Both have reassured me that
my future is at Milan, so I can be calm, said Gilardino.
