Real Madrid coach Bernd Schuster has told sports director Pedja
Mijatovic he needs a new striker.
AS says Schuster held crunch talks with Mijatovic yesterday over
Sunday's Supa Copa disaster and told his sports chief: "We needs
goals. We need another No.9."
Schuster doesn't regard Roberto Soldado as being ready for the
pressure of playing for Real and told Mijatovic to send him away
for another season on-loan and to bring in a replacement.
Top of the shopping list is Real Zaragoza striker Diego Milito,
whose brother, Gaby, signed for Real's bitter rivals Barcelona this
summer. Also in the frame is Ajax ace Klaas-Jan Huntelaar.
Mijatovic favours Huntelaar over the cheaper Milito after enjoying
success this summer in landing his compatriots Wesley Sneijder,
also formerly of Ajax, and Royston Drenthe from Feyenoord.
