After the frustrating saga that is Aquaman and not managing to recoup any money, I'm now reading about Milan trying the same for tevez... They're offering a free loan with first refusal on rights to buy in the summer?!? I mean I know he's annoying and City want rid, but Milan are taking the piss a bit aren't they?!?!? The thing is though - they seem to get away with it! How?!?!?!
I've said something like this before. Loans and shared ownership of players...that's essentially how Serie A seems to work, and I don't understand it. It's like us saying to United: 'here's £30m, let's have Rooney for a season, then you can have him back, then we can have him again after that.' Seriously, check out the 'squad' section here and see how many are loaned in/out and how many are part owned: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A.C._Milan
Very good spot. I think the Italian league is all about business, but they don't like taking risks Over the years we've seen plenty of players go to AC Milan on loan, Aquilani, Ibrahimovich, Beckham, Shevchenko. Its the league works. Edit - Aquilani has made 19 appearances for AC, I think the clause was 25?
29 I think I read. Either way, above 30 and he's theirs. The can **** off if they think they can pull a Juve. We should do the same with Krasic, since they seem to be wanting to loan him. Promise them £20m, let the clause expire, then open the bidding at a cool £5m.
Roberto Mancini said: "Milan know they can't get him on loan, they know it very well. But if they want to buy Carlos, for us, that is okay. We hope that Carlos can find a good solution for him, and that he can come back and play football. But they can't have him on loan. This is sure, 100%." Well said Mancini, see right through the bullshit, and say cough it up. Zingy and Suarezlfc, my worry with Krasic is he can be electric, but he can also be very Jovanovic, sometimes running for just running. When he is on form though he is creative and runs at people very well, but what else does he add other than that I think is a problem. Can he cross? Does he score goals? Jova scored loads of goals and couldn't find it here.
