All Things Alberto Aquilani

When you've barely got a pot to piss in, you cant really afford to make a £20m transfer that just doesnt work out.

I will see your £20M For Aquilani and raise you £20m for Keane!

Aquilani's not in the Keane category of turkeys yet.

Italy aint the best place to go for players. I think that league so vasty over-rated its untrue. And the style of football obviously doesnt equate very well to the pace over here.

Really?

He has played less time in a longer period. The fact Rafa wont play him when the only other option is Lucas tells a lot.

I don't think any one has really rated the Italian league for a few years have they?

Difference is Aquilani's had times where he's looked good and his next move wont involve being shipped off to Scotland because he's not even good enough to be 4th choice at a PL club.

Jose Mourinho certainly doesnt like it

[CJ]

we havent paid £20M for him though have we.

From whats been posted on here it was a small downpayment and alot of clauses.

so maybe he was the best we could afford

Aqua arrived to a new country injured and Keane played in the UK for yrs. Go figure?

It's not the temperature that makes our weather ****.

It's the fact that it's grey and **** for 300 days a year.

Thanks AA. Couldn't have expressed it better myself.

They also name Spearing in the squad though mate

Either way, the Aquilani business is a farce. Utterly ridiculous.

Ooh - feel much better!

[Leyton388]

Yeah time for us to recoup as much as possible so we dont lose anything on him. I know we have only paid £5m up front but i don't want us paying the other £12m in add ons if he is out most of the time.

I would like to see us sign stephen Ireland in the summer.
