Loan with a buy option apparently. For once Galliani has clowned someone instead of hte other way around.

Fresh off of signing Lescott, Sunderland are now apparently interested in sassassin favourite Neil Taylor.

My extremely ITK sources tell me they are also lining up moves for Paul McShane and the ghost of Pascal Cygan.

It was a "free" transfer so why wouldn't it have been?

It went from rumor to flying in for a medical to done deal in the span of a few hours, it's just rare to not see a transfer drawn out

I don't know, have you seen Montolivo play lately? I mean nobody has but him getting hurt was the best thing to happen to Milan all season.

First Bonera and now Montolivio. Do you actually like any of your players GG?

I do! Suso, Bonaventura, Lapadula, Romagnoli, Bacca, Kucka and Donnarumma are all great. Locatelli's pretty good too but he was poo poo today.

Both Bonera and Montolivo had their times when they were decent players. I would say both were even quite good for a while. The problem is that Milan hasnt known when to get rid of their "veterans" for the better part of a decade now. To make it worse, when we do its someone like Pirlo who ends up being a monster somewhere else. It's infuriating. Abate is rapidly approaching this stage in his Milan career and I have no doubt he'll be around until he retires.

Montolivo isn't as bad as Bonera was, he's just useless. Bonera actively helped the other team.

Do you think Pirlo might have made that worse? I'm just wondering if Milan is extra-reluctant to let go of any veterans in case they pull a Pirlo again

Nah, the "problem" is that guys like Seedorf, Gattuso, Nesta, Costacurta, Maldini, etc were all insanely good well in to their thirties. That strategy worked so well that it's part of club culture at this point.

Italians call guys like that "senatori" and it's considered vital that clubs have a few. I mean, experience is always good for a team everywhere but it's set in stone in Italy. Milan has been an extreme example my whole life.

I read that the loan only becomes an obligation if he scores 10 goals. I guess we'll see him in June.

Although I'd like us to hold on to him, I'd rip their hands off for more than 20m. He's talented, but not currently very good.

Our midfield now consists of Adomah, Lansbury, Hourihane and Bjarnason. Not sure about Bjarnason because he's come from Switzerland but the other three have all been very decent this season and are killing it for goals and assists. Hourihane has 6 goals 11 assists in 25 games, Lansbury has 6 goals 3 assists in 17, Adomah has 3 goals 5 assists in 20.

I'm excited to see our new midfield going forward. It's a step up from Ashley "5 goals 11 assists in 147 games" Westwood.

I loving hate Ashley Westwood.
