AC Milan seriously lacked punch on their front line this past season.
Jeremy Menez scored 16 times, but a full half of those goals came from the penalty spot. After Menez, the next two spots on the team's scoring chart were occupied by Giacomo Ventura (seven goals) and Keisuke Honda (six), who have played on the wing but are originally midfielders. The next-highest-scoring forward on the team was Giampaolo Pazzini, who netted just four.
Injuries played some part. The team was deprived of Stephan El Shaarawy for much of the year due to a foot injury, and his play in a late-season cameo suggested he might have helped augment those numbers to some degree.
