we're going to end up getting SFA for aquilani,a ren't we?

[Nathanzx]

unused sub for milan tonight in a big game at juventus

 

came on as a sub the previous few games (i presume sub appearances count)

 

is it 20 or 25 appearances he needs to get to for us to get the 7 mil?

 

even if he stays fit throughout the season they'll be sneaky about it and make sure he doesn't quite get there

 

jesus, we are going to get mugged again here, how dull are we?

 

we're making offloading this lad look as hard as solving fermat's last theorem

 

why didn't we just agree a 7/8 million deal with someone...anyone and get this monkey off our backs

 

this transfer and transfers like this frustrate the shit out of me

No one wants to pay. Duh!

[Strontium]

We should have done what we did when we couldn't even get £12m for Xabi Alonso.

Bring him back and fucking use him. He's a brilliant player if he gets the confidence a player of his class deserves. But obviously that ship has sailed and the whole story is just sad.

[Barnesey]

They pay us for the privilege of taking him on loan so he hasn't cost us much at all at this point. Get £5m next summer and we may well be in profit!

[Pony Princess]

I think we should have kept hold of him and used him. He looked ok in the pre-season and he obviously has talent - just needs confidence and to find a place in the team.

[Biscao]

He must be the most misunderstood genius in the world. If he's so brilliant, surely we would be able to offload him for a cut price? Seems like a pure luxury player to me and the sooner he's out, the better. A disgrace that we bought him in the first place. Another one of Macia's gems I guess.

[Unrighteous]

Yes. An absolutely brilliant player. We can barely give him away every year. Truly stunning, indeed.

[The Special One]

He's shit.

[Jairzinho]

I can't remember whether its currently fashionable to like him or not.

[Newport]

He must be the most misunderstood genius in the world. If he's so brilliant, surely we would be able to offload him for a cut price?

 

Or maybe other clubs get him for a season at a good price for a squad player and then if he turns out good they sign him. Him being swapped to Juventus last season for Poulsen is the most disgraceful thing done to a player since we let Beardsley go to the blues.

[stringvest]

No wonder he looks like that when his pay cheque is coming from one direction and his shirt from another.

 

What I like most about him is his girlfriend.

[Xherdan]

I really cant understand the level of plaudits Aquilani gets. He had some fleeting moments with us but in the main done fuck all. He evidentally done fuck all in training also otherwise Kenny would have kept him.

[Juan Galonso]

I've seen him twice for AC Milan this year and he has been very poor for them, giving the ball away easily, caught in possession a lot. Not for me. Will never understand the love-in surrounding him because of a few decent games against pub team opposition.

[zigackly]

Or maybe other clubs get him for a season at a good price for a squad player and then if he turns out good they sign him.

 

This is where we've been going wrong with him. We need someone to take him on a buyer beware basis like we did.

[Juan Galonso]

How long does he have on his contract here now after this season?

[Liverpool lad]

30 million pound player apparently

[Original202]

Milan have played 5 league games.

 

Aquilani has started 3 and made 1 appearance as sub.

 

He's also played 2 out of 2 games in the Champions League for them (Both as a sub).

 

It's hardly time to hit the panic button. If he's any good, he'll play and if he's playing well then why wouldn't they want to sign him having already reached an agreement to do so?

[zigackly]

If he's any good, he'll play and if he's playing well then why wouldn't they want to sign him having already reached an agreement to do so?

 

You would have to ask Juventus. Apparently he did well there.

[Beantown Red]

Next summer I think he will have two years left.

[BenR_]

He's a potentially great footballer. But there are thousands of those out there, with the key word being 'potentially'.

 

In reality, he's a crock, a bag of nerves and hasn't been very good for us, Juventus or Milan (so far).

It's difficult to see what your run-of-the-mill RAWKite finds in him that makes it such a big crime for us to have let him go. "And on loan!!" they say. I don't think they quite understand that he's being loaned out because no one will fucking buy him.

 

It's all about vindicating Rafa, really, and convincing themselves that even his flops are actually world-class footballers who simply didn't work out (through no fault of Rafa himself of course, but Purslow, Parry, Hodgson, and unknown forces of nature).

[G Richards]

If the player is not in Kenny's plans and we can't sell him for a decent fee, sending him out on loan, receiving a loan fee, having someone else pay his wages, while all the time allowing amortization to kick in, means this won't be as bad as it appears at first sight, from a financial perspective.

 

Granted, it hasn't worked out with Aquilani and the deal was bad, but considering the amount of outgoing deals we concluded in the summer, I think we did well.

[silverlining]

Fuck off. Beardsley was a brilliant player who was part of one of the best Liverpool sides in our history.

 

Aquilani is a spineless, boss-eyed shithouse who did fuck all for us, and has done fuck all for for anyone in his entire, trophyless and ultimately pointless career.

[silverlining]

You would have to ask Juventus. Apparently he did well there.

 

Ahahahahahaha!

 

He's one of the worst signings in our entire history.

 

I love reading clueless superfan RAWK cunts quacking on about this fucking turd. It simply drives home how some people don't actually *watch* football matches.

 

Wake up! He's fucking shit and makes Juan Veron look like Roy Keane.

 

Some players do not belong in the Premiership.
