Have you actually proven I'm wrong? Of course the official statements are going to say its a loan, because it formally is, thats not what I'm talking about, same thing with the Mutu deal a few years back, as somebody said.
There were discussions before the Mutu deal that we were looking at somebody else to sign him for us because of the non-EU rule, them officially Livorno bought him and the officially sold him to us. So if you're looking at it very formally there was no deal between us and Livorno, after all there were no official statements to say so. So by your purely formalistic logic it would seem it was just a coincidence that Livorno bought him and sold him to us on the same day?
Thats what I'm talking about. While the official deals are one thing, in reality the presidents/DGs can unofficially agree something between them, like Moggi unofficially asking for Livorno to help us out with Mutu, and Marotta unofficially promising to buy M/Q/P. Some things, while not being official, are pretty evident.
So how exactly have you proven I'm wrong?
Exactly, you cant have any evidence to support that, but you can make a reasonable assumption, or a well founded speculation.
