you're right, stankovic is more probable. BUT i don't know which one is the better option. Of course, aquilani is younger, he's italian, he's the more technically skilled, he's the more promising, BUT he's also the more expensive (more than double stankovic's price) and the LESS NEEDED. I honestly don't really want stankovic but i think every objective person should see that stankovic's versatility on LM/CM is more needed than aquilani's CM/AM. I mean, we have one CM (Tiago) and we want to get rid of him... says enough about our policy with pure CMs right?!
Aquilani is the better player, but Stankovic is the better deal.
