He is a good prospect, but he hasnt space in our squad, so its good to let him stay with Samp. If he turns out to be a very good player, do you think Samp have the capacity to outbid us in a blind auction? And I guess Marotta has some gentlemen agreements with them to facilitate a eventual buy...
Pirlo, Marchisio, Pazienza. Poli, Vidal, Diarra, Melo, Sissoko, Ekdal, Marrone, Giandonato?
Bah, we have (been linked with) so much midfielders and I still don't see a great partner for Pirlo there. Diarra is the closer in my view, followed by Melo.
