Serie B giants Parma have swooped to secure Milan striking starlet Alberto Paloschi in a co-ownership agreement.

The Ducali were relegated last season after a 19-year spell in the top flight but they are strong favourites to bounce straight back.

Gigi Cagni's side have kept hold of Azzurri hitman Cristiano Lucarelli and have now added a star of the future to the ranks.

Italian Under-19 international Paloschi was unexpectedly thrust into the spotlight last term when an injury crisis at San Siro handed him his first senior starts.

Paloschi thrived on the pressure and found the net just minutes into his debut against Siena, but his chances of playing first-team football this term were slim with the additions of Ronaldinho and Marco Borriello.

After being linked with Torino, Reggina and Genoa, Paloschi has finally found a club for the 2008-09 season and will be a dangerous weapon in Serie B.

AAAARRRRGGGGHHHH

WHY? WHY NOT LOAN? We will now stupidly buy him back for 6-10 million when we could have just loaned him out

It's very rare for a team to pay wages of the player that they're loaning.

Well we've seen Chelsea do it countless times, Crespo with both us and Inter and Veron. But I guess that's because they're idiots. I wonder if they're paying some portion of Sheva's wages....

I'm wondering if they are paying the bigger portion of Sheva's wage (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)


@kurt, you don't need to tell me what the management have done or not done, they can only be judged by the results that they bring. And considering the competitive nature of Silvio Berlusconi's Milan which averages out to 1.2 trophies per season (considering 22 years history). Then how can you say that they do things wrong, if anything they are the reason Milan is one of the most feared sides in the world.

I know what Silvio has done for this team, and his trophy average per year thing is great and all. But he threw away £5m on Borriello over a co-ownership, and I'm sure we'll do the same with Paloschi, so in my opinion it's a bad decision.

Milan are one of the most feared and succesful sides in the World? You won't hear an arguement from me. One thing that does get to me a little though, is this. Silvio took over Milan and made us great, how exactly? Money. And it does get a little annoying that people will just insult and criticise Chelsea, Real and Barca for their high spending approach, when ultimately that's what Silvio did. I know people will look at it differently since they support the club, but Abromovich has won tonnes of trophies for Chelsea, the same way Silvio did for Milan, in my opinion.

Does Silvio go about his business in a classier way.. I'm not so sure. He's quite arrogant and such. People often say bad about Roman, but I'm not sure where this hatred comes from, does he do bad thing sin public? No, he hardly ever speaks. He does get involved with transfers too much for my liking, but so does Silvio. But hey, its' their money to do so.

I respect both what Silvio has done for Milan, and what Roman has done for Chelsea. Will I question their decisions? Of course, all the time. I'm a football fan and will not always agree with every decision.

You don't get too far not doing what they did. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) It just has to be done. How did they get so dirty, filthy rich in the first place? And I don't know about Roman, but Silvio has done some classy things during his time here in the club - whether to cover up or whatever is anyone's guess.

But I get your point.
