Does he have to sell a certain amount on iTunes too?

He could call the first one, Wonky EyeApp Mate.
And it could give everyone Wonky eyes on their photos?

Needs to be a bit more prolific with his apps

Aquilani's personal terms yet to be sorted. Imagine Milan will want to work extension option. BTW, his apps, last 5 yrs: 34,26,18,30,21

Is there some loan fee as well as the proposed £7m fee if he plays 25 or more games? As there should be, something around a couple of million would be about right IMO and if we sold him that would swell the fee to a decent level.

what the **** are you dweebs on about?

I accidentally put this post iin the wrong thread but speculations are that deal to AC Milan will look like this:


-first year loan free

-Milan pays 2.5m of his wages, liverpool pay 1.5m.

-Option to buy for 6m spread over 3 years

-2.5m/year contract if purchased.

-Mandatory purchase if he makes 25 appearances

-Payment starts on June 2012

What a ****ty deal if true

What a sticky horrible situation for the clubs and the player! Im pretty sure he will end up going somewhere before the window shuts! look pretty certain he will end up at Milan!

That's a crap deal.

IMO there should always be a loan fee associated with these types of deal, so if they choose not to take up the option to buy we at least get something, and 6m spread over 3 years, if they're getting him for that price we should get the cash straight away.

They are making us look like idiots. We will be covering almost 40% of his wages while he is on a loan with them, there is no guarantee that they will sign him permanently and if they do they will spread piss take of the evaluation over the 3 years

I really wish we had balls and tell them to **** off and don't come back with something more reasonable like a permanent deal for £10m right now or they should look elsewhere.

We shouldn't be in desperate hurry to let him move regardless if Aquilani prefers to move back to Italy.

[Exiled_red]

I guess if the deal goes ahead we will be £8.5m better off (£6m from the fee and 2.5m we don't have to pay in wages) But FFS for £6m can't they just buy him now and end this saga. £6m is a bargain.

BTW what happened to Aquilani only wanting to move on a permanent deal, as far as I can tell this isn't much different to the Fiorentina deal he rejected.

Zavaglia for Gazzeta: "Aquilani has decided. He wants AC Milan. We hope that we can quickly reach the agreement".

Bet he plays exactly 24 games and is never seen in a Milan shirt again

Almost certainly.

It's a completely **** deal for us (if the breakdown above is correct). At the very, very least they should be covering his entire wages.

What a shambolic transfer from start to finish.
