I'd say give him to empoli and take back gio. We can't say anything about ekdal. He's just a big mistery to everyone. He played in a pretty low league, he's not followed by the bigs (so far), he's had an injury (which turned out not so bad thank god). but, it's quite possible that he's been followed already by moggi and co, and we all know he had a nose for the talents. I'm pretty sure ekdal will turn out a good buy. But we'll have to loan him out, that's for sure. If there is some team in shich he ould play quite regularly, give it to them, that would be better than playing in our primavera. We'd need a team with lack of offensive players, because giving him away as a 3rd or 4th choice striker won't help him. Maybe even serie-b? (i'd prefer NOT to... but everything is fine as long as it helps that guy)
