Aquilani - stay or go?

[Exiled_red]

I totally agree with getting rid IF HE wants out. We've heard all the bull**** in the world from his manager, "he wants out, he wants to stay" etc etc. If Kenny wants him and he's happy to stay, it's happy days I say.

If he's unhappy and we want rid of him I don't see the sense in loaning him out again though. He had a good season on loan last year and it didn't increase his value, there's no reason to think that it will this time either, if he has no future with us we should just cut our losses now. If we are loaning him out for a year and then he will sign for them at the end fair enough, but we don't want to be messing about with options again.

IF the agents comments in that tweet are correct it appears to suggest its a permanent deal

Lets hope so, as much as I'd have like to have seen him given a chance, if he's not staying his future needs to be sorted out permanently, so save all this messing about again.

Is the correct answer IMO too

Aquilani's agent tells Gazzetta.it: "The agreement between Alberto + Fiorentina hasn't yet been reached."

Cannot see him staying if this is true. He's as good as gone now.

NO. Not you too ! Don't go over to the dark side mate.

It's just his agent talking crap

I want him to stay as I think he can really contribute to the squad when call upon but If Lecter said that his sources indicated he wants to leave then it's only matter of time and his agent comments, if true, only confirm those thoughts

Agent "No liverpool agreement with fiorentina as yet. Aquilani yet to make his mind about the move"[skysports] #LFC #fb

I hate that agent

Re: Aquilani, Italian reports say LFC rejected loan move but have agreed fee with Fiorentina (approx €11M) - but personal terms a problem

[Lecter]

I hate that agent

The agent is trying to get the best deal for his client and now hes got a fee agreed (assuming the reports are true) hes trying to milk both sides for cash

He'll no doubt be looking for a pay off, and wage difference from LFC whilst trying to get Fiorentina to cough up

IF a fee has been agreed I expect Aquilani and his agent to iron out a deal one way or another (assuming what I was told about him wanting to go back to Italy was true)

Maybe it's just me, but I always find those sort of comments utterly baffling when used in the context of someone whose apparently desperate to leave.

(If true of course).

It's perfectly explicable as a negotiating position, as Lecter suggests above.

I realize that which is why I added "if true".

11M Wow, what a pisstake.

Would shudder to think how much we lost on Aquiliani, Poulsen, Jova, konch, Jones and Cole in Wages and transfer fee's

EXCLUSIVE TMW - Criscitiello: "Aquilani summit ended. New"
25.07.2011 17:49 by Editor TMW


We have just concluded the summit in Monte Carlo from the Director General of Liverpool, Damien Comolli and Alberto Aquilani's agent, Franco Zavaglia. Was reported by our Director, Michael Criscitiello. "The two parties met in the early afternoon and are now in Nice to go home, one to Rome, one to England. Liverpool have confirmed that there are no plans for Aquilani in the Reds. Rises only one problem. If Fiorentina wants Aquilani, to take it outright and do not borrow or right of redemption. Zavaglia will only have one proposal for Corvino: for Aquilani to earn the same amount (8 million) in three years compared to two in Liverpool. " Will Fiorentina be able to afford this expense?
