Alen is right about the buyout. Obviously the relationship between club and player is significantly different... but on paper, isn't this contract/buyout basically the same situation that Hamburg just endured with VDV? Definitely correct me if I'm wrong, because I'm not certain. What did Madrid...

Very good point Cyril. It's clear that the top RB's (guys like Alves, Ramos, Maicon) are not going anywhere, and would be too expensive for us even if their teams were looking to move them. Let me rephrase that, and say 'if not world class, a clearly above average RB'. Maggio was who I...

We're not getting Aquilani... A WC RB would be outstanding though...

I agree Adrian... at this point, having made the Poulsen signing, I think it would be "wrong" to sign A.A. and not give Marchisio a chance. I really don't think there is any way that Aquilani makes sense at this time... and yet if he were available... damn that proverbial 'potential'... Try as...

Nice post Vimo - I definitely agree with most of what you've written, and sincerely hope that the Xabi signing works out exactly as you described... Clearly Liverpool's extremely slow negotiations with Villa are what is holding up the Xabi signing - Rafa is playing hardball (I can't believe...

I agree that the offer of 18M + Iaquinta should be considered excessive at this point in time (given Aquilani's current productivity). Furthermore, that is a solution that is not realistic or feasible under the current budget constraints. I mentioned that specific combination because I believe...

Hey everyone - like the site - my first time posting here... I'm curious - How much do you people think that Aquilani would be worth on the market? White Rabbit, there is absolutely no way Roma would even consider the offer you put forth. In fact, I have a feeling that you could...
