I didn't see the game to be honest. So I wouldn't know. All the reports said he stepped in and for a fourth choice CB was very good in the game.

Looks like the Chinese deal is about to be closed.

I doubt it.

The Kaka Saga
Mister X,
Mr Bee,
Season-long Public statements about the coach's job being under-fire.

When have Milan ever shown that they can do anything major in a terse period of time?
I'd argue they exhaust every last televised second stretching-out or postponing major decisions.
Not since maybe the double salvo of Robinho + Ibra at the end of the transfer market has something been done rapidly.I can hardly imagine a world where Berlu doesn't pull-out at the eleventh hour, motivated by recent political losses, and decide to keep Milan, bring in Gianpaolo--no one's serious idea of a saviour--, invest 15-30M and call it a day.

I'm certain that this won't be done by this time next week.

And, holy lord would I love to be made a fool on this point.

We'll see. Transfers saga's have little to do this one though.

I am getting a bad feeling about this one. Not sure it will close, and if it does close it will probably take a long time. Really, really, really hope to be wrong ...

I think we've all learned our lesson by now when it comes to Silvio, So I'm not believing anything or getting my hopes up until everything is official and even then I'd be wary and wait until guys like Galliani first and foremost are out the door before I can truly get on board. We've all been burned one too many times now

Does this group own a Chinese team too? I saw a very interesting piece about how Inter will potentially use their owners Chinese based team as a way around FFP.

I think so. Guangzhou Evergrande FC IIRC

Oh? Could you share the link, or a small explanation on how?

I can't find the link, but I read that the Chinese club that their owner owns would pay the transfer fee then basically loan the player to Inter. So Inter do not have the cost of the player (or even wages, possibly) against their finances.

I read something about them wanting to get Vazquez in this manner, though he would only join Inter in January.

Looks like we got Lapadula. Dunno much, but we are talking about a 26 year-old forward coming out of Serie B. Does anyone understand the logic?

Edit: He is Italian, which may be an indication that Berlu believes the sale will not go through.

I don't mind this transfer - with Balotelli, Menez, Boateng, Adriano and possibly Bacca out, we are extremely short in the forwards department. Need to land prospects when they show up.

I read we are chasing Vasquez but costs are prohibitive. Meanwhile also rumours we shall hijack Ibra if the acquisition goes through.


Btw does Brexit mean that EPL will now have a harder time with transfers?

I don't know him, but 30 goals and 12 assists in 46 games is a really good record, even for the Serie B. I also looked a few clips on YouTube and the guy clearly knows how to score. Problem is, with no service and the shitty midfield we currently have, we're not gonna go far.



I read somewhere that transfers will cost much more.

Yes maybe in terms of work permits but this won't happen for another two years...
