Oh if he goes to City they would have the acumen to topple Barca in the CL for sure and i'd love to see them play 3-5-2.

Damn, seems like he's the loyal time, can never get those.

 

[Auwais]

He'll probably feel like moving after a season under Zeman's ultra-pressing, lung-bursting, attacking philosophy.

Well done Daniele De Rossi for valuing loyalty more than millions | Paul Wilson | Football | guardian.co.uk

True, it is a bit of breath of fresh air.

Interesting comments in though that suggest it's a somewhat poorly researched article. Plenty of claimants that firstly De Rossi is on a contract that means he'll always be the highest payed player in Serie A, and more importantly he's just entered into a rather bitter divorce case with his 'wife' with a custody battle attached. He basically can't go anywhere... yet.

Also some good mentions of a true hero in Tommasi. Apparently used to take a normal workers salary and donate the rest to charity. Then when he suffered a long-term injury, he personally negotiated a much lower contract as it was 'fair.'

Haha, Cassano moves to Inter and Pazzini to Milan. And Inter also get 7M euros.


What the hell is happening?!

The option is City or Roma. Not millions or Roma. He gets millions already at Roma.

Milan are ultra doomed this season. That is what is happening.

And Taiwo was also sent out on loan. Brilliant, just brilliant.

 

[Haarithan]

And they're close to signing Ze Eduardo (who's he?) on whom Matteo Bonetti (Serie A expert, Milan fan) had to say this:

"I want to say something about our new striker, and this's my best shot: He has red hair, and doesn't score a lot of goals. Enough said."

Edit: Never mind, the deal's collapsed according to the same guy. Thank goodness.

 

[Bevab]

Unless Allegri shows some remarkable skills with man management and resource management, Milan's tale could be really over.


I just wish they get relegated like Villareal and end their misery.

I still can't forget how Milan were one of the leading contenders to win the Champions League (after Barca and Real).

lol how is that in any way a logical deal for Milan?

 

[Auwais]

Very, very strange deal. Shows the poor financial situation the two Milan clubs find themselves in, while Juve are flourishing with the revenue from their own stadium.

 

[thedon5]

Thought about it and perhaps Cassano can't play as much after his stroke whereas Pazzini can? Pazzini also brings back the aerial threat which was lost with the sale of Ibra, and he's also two years younger.

Still, I don't see any reason why Inter get 7 m euros.

 

[Bevab]

That's what makes this deal crazy, that 7M.
