Nope. He's a winger and he'd be useless for us now, Honda-Ljajic is the way to go.
I'm sorry, Sal. We couldn't say no to Monaco's offer.

Berlusconi wants more titles and is ready to spend and buy us a new Pirlo.
Expecting Xavi/Schweini/Thiago, we'll end up with Cigarini. Book it.

Not as good as Lazio's Hernanes, but Hernandez has talent for sure. And I think he's less volatile than Llajic.
Either way, we're getting a young and promising striker. I'm good with that + Balo, El Shaa, Pazzini and Niang.
When is Pazzini expected to be back in action? And surely you can't have either Llajic or Hernandez, plus Honda, and then four other players up front. Niang will get the shaft, much like Quagliarella/Matri will get the shaft at Juve.
I reckon Francesco Lodi.
Why not just sign Candreva or bring back Aquilani and be done with it?

Cardozo to fuckin Fenerbache, of all teams, is almost a done deal.

Did he pull his hamstring after taking this picture?

Pazzini should be back around September-October. We'll buy a new striker, Galliani clearly said that, we need a new one. Otherwise, we'll play the CL playoffs with Niang and Balotelli/El Shaa with less than a month worth of training in their legs. Honda is a done deal and I honestly don't think we'll pay him more than €4-5m, basically we'll have to look for another CB and a striker, with the latter being our first objective.
Not sure about Niang, I guess Galliani will give him until December to prove if he's worth it otherwise he'll be on a loan somewhere else.
I don't think Aquilani would want to return to Milan after what we did with him last year (if he played 25 matches in Serie A we would've brought him. We put him on the bench when he was at 23 games played). Candreva: I'm sure his pricetag went really high after the Confederations Cup, plus we'd have to deal with Lotito.
Nope.
EDIT: can we get over the "Milan is old" thing now?

Just woke up. Checked the BBC Football website.
Haha what are they saying?
Would be a decent buy for them, assuming City do their usual thing of giving him away for nothing and subsiding 80% of his wages.
So shocked you couldn't complete the embedding of the gif? Let me help you out.Just woke up. Checked the BBC Football website.

bayern isn't desperate to sell him.
gomez doesn't see his future at bayern anymore and what's the point of forcing him to stay.
it's not like bayern needs the money either.

Thiago's dad gavevan interview and said he has no idea where his son will end up.
But Sport Witness have done a follow up article saying its in his best interests to play dumb as he doesn't want to antagonize Barca coz Rafinha has just signed a new contract with them.
Because EVERY player is thinking about the World Cup now!
Moving to a relatively big team would harm his chances too.
(I do this mainly to encourage discussions)
London FC
Cech
Ivanovic - Luiz - Vertonghen - Rat (!)
Sandro - Santi Cazorla - Wilshere
Hazard - Berbatov - Bale

Unlike many, I actually don't think Arsenal's bid for Suarez was an attempt to manipulate Real Madrid in negotiations for Higuain. If you recall, Arsenal were linked with both Rooney and the Argentinean. After United's stance on the former, its possible that Suarez was meant to be that second striker.
Liverpool are unrealistic in expecting to get a value bid. They have a player who has made it clear that he wants to leave. A bid from outside the PL will logically be lower than a domestic bid considering Suarez favours going abroad. But regardless, there is no way LFC are going to get a 40m+ bid for Suarez considering the context. Whether Liverpool accept it or not of course is another matter but rejecting it purely on the basis that the figure doesn't match his worth is silly; you're not going to get that kind of money.

Suarez doesn't "favour" to move abroad, its the only option he wants if he is to move. He wouldn't leave Liverpool for any other PL club, let alone one in London.
Then we won't sell. Suarez can want away all he wants, but Liverpool isn't going to sell him for less than 40m.
Thanks.
Seems like we'll have to wait a while yet until we find out where he'll be going, or even if he stays.
Edit: He says he knows nothing, but then apparently says a decision will be made in the next few days.

If Liverpool were to accept a domestic bid, would Suarez choose to stay at Liverpool? I don't know. I wouldn't be surprised if he left if a foreign club failed in their bid.
Do you really think that if his only option was Arsenal, Suarez wouldn't want to go there?

His pops said (allegedly) that there will be a decision in the next few days. Hopefully it's sorted this week.
I think it's possible, but he massively runs the risk of showing himself up if he does that. If he wanted to move for footballing reasons and to play in the CL, he could have quite easily said so in his interviews abroad. Instead, he focused on how much he hates the english media and is desperate to escape them. Kind of makes a move to any other PL club a bit pointless really.
