    Looks like he is on his way to AC Milan on a season-long loan. I'm not going to lie here, this is annoying me. We brought him a couple of seasons ago, he had a difficult first season with injures and Roy decided to loan him out. I didn't think it was a good decision but he performed really well at Juventus and to be honest, i'm surprised they didn't buy him.

    Now it looks like we are sending him on loan again! Why?! He doesn't seem to be in Kenny's plans so why don't we sell him? He performed well last season at Juve and could command a decent fee.

    One point in that article that caught my eye...

    Does this mean that they have to buy him if he makes 25 appearances? Or could Aqua make 25 appearances and Milan could decide that they don't want to buy him?

    <ok>

    Makes about as much sense as watching the X Factor WITHOUT being rewarded with sex.

    7 mil but I wonder if that is the lowest figure and it can go higher? Must be something to make that more, unless he was a player we just really wanted to get rid of. Does anyone know if he got on with all of the players? Was he a distrubance? Was this back and forth a disturbance? All of these could have factored in as well....

    On the face of it, this looks like a very bad piece of business indeed. The 25 start clause is just too easy to manage. If they don't buy (and no fee is stated) then we get a player back who does not figure in our plans but has yet another year less on his contract thereby making him of less fiancial value to us - no matter how well he plays!

    Wait? If you watch X Factor someone has sex with you? That show is supposed to be coming to America- I wasn't going to watch it... I'll have to watch it if I get to have sex... who do you get to have it with? British telly is so much more advanced... they haven't invented sex with the telly over here yet.

    An ex loved the programme. But if you think the X Factor itself will somehow reward you for watching it, feel free to give it a go. Hopefully it'll be worth the risk of brain damage.

    It's another Simon Cowell creation right?

    I think I'll pass. I think TV is beyond saturation for these talent shows now. On any given night there are at least two or three on. Almost as bad as reality TV shows.

    Are script writers that expensive that networks can't show scripted shows anymore?

    Where is LOST when you need it! F***ing loved LOST, at least it had a plot line that got a little out of hand, but had you guessing and waiting for the next show. Not like Jersey Shore in f***ing Italy! Brain cells lost by the dozens watching shows like that.

    You have to be careful where you stick it.

    Don't worry, the X Factor is scripted. That's actually one of the flaws though.

    Seriously though don't you have HBO? There's some good viewing on that.

    Research shows the brain is in the same state when watching TV as when asleep and it makes no difference what you're watching.

    Watching TV switches brain activity to the right (non-logical) side of the brain, which isn't responsible for critical analysis, hence stupid contentions that the X Factor is any different from a shark documentary or that rock music is any different to pop music become accepted and unquestioned untruths.

    I like the X Factor, I know more about the music biz than most of you and I'm considerably smarter than the average bear. So stick that in your TV guide.

    Anyway, it seems odd Juve wanted a loan and Fiorentina wanted a loan but now Milan have got one. I assume this is because we tried to sell but this is the best deal we could get before the window closes. I figure the £7m fee will be offset by not having to pay his wages.

    What makes better sense is letting the misses watch the X Factor, while i play Fifa on the Xbox, then getting sex. Then i feel like i am being rewarded with sex for being half decent at Fifa. Everyone's a winner.

    Big boast there but I believe you. Other research has shown that most bears struggle to type coherent sentences into computers. From what I can tell you might even be able to get a GCSE. ;)

    Latest research suggests that watching tv is actually detrimental to you longevity. From my experience of US cable tv the effect is likely to be even more virillent!

    Back on topic. How much did we pay for him? So even allowing for not having to meet his wages £7m is no recompense.
