Yeah guys, Liverpool would never agree to a "trial period pay later deal with Aquilani"... except they've already agreed to it fucking twice - with us, and Milan. That's what happens when you're paying something like 3.5M+, net, for Aquipussy - you try and get that salary off the books, ASAP.
Oh, and Blake, that 4 year payment plan you laid out works exactly the same as a Loan with a clause for an obligatory purchase (although all the figures can be adjusted). It's not a shady deal, it just adds an additional installment window; it's easy to make the language work. We've done it many times, and the only negative one you can point out is Aquilani - although I'll give you Estigarribia for free, he would have liked to stay. Hell, Juve made good on MARCO FUCKING MOTTA - clearly when Beppe gives his word, he sticks to it.
Quagliarella, Matri, Pepe, Motta, Caceres, Asamoah, Isla, etc. These are all examples of loan/option, or co-own/option deals that are designed to spread payments out.
