Aha, thanks.
And do you know what's going on with Tosic?

I know he's not playing at all (according to Wikipedia he played only 5 matches in 2009), and only once I saw him coming in as a sub.
Is he really that bad not to get a chance even in Cup matches where even some completely unknown kids get a chance, or there is something else going on?

From what I saw from him while playing for Partizan and Serbia, that boy clearly deserves more chances and I can't help thinking that there must be something else in question, not his quality.

They hyped him up as being the next Ryan Giggs and all that. I don't really know what happened with him, but i think they decided not to keep him too.

Haven't seen enough of him to make a sound judgment either.

I thought Tosic was a lot younger than he is, he needs to get some football. Looked VERY nervous every time I saw him though, and the purchase of Obertan doesn't look good for him.

Dule, what's the story about Ljajic?
I heard Manchester decided to back up and not sign him, even though everything has been agreed. Apparently, he didn't develop as they expected him to.
How's he playing this season?
Well actually, this September I wondered if he's the right way to go. He looked like a one season wonder and his price was just in the air because of the Jovetic and Partizan hype. He looked like a potential but it seems he's not the old self, kinda inconsistent etc.

They are probably broke too so they decided to back the offer but even if that's not the case, it might be the best thing to do. For that price, he looks like a big risk in my books.

I don't know why don't they let Tosic play though, he always looked like a good player to me, someone who deserves a good chance.

Santon-Kolarov exchange Sunday 3 January, 2010

Lazio and Inter are ready to exchange full-backs, as Davide Santon accepts a loan switch to make way for Aleksandar Kolarov.

The Italian turned 19 this week and was tipped to make his mark in 2010, but has spent most of this season on the bench or in the stands.

Santon does not want to miss out on the 2010 World Cup and so is ready to accept a loan spell at the Stadio Olimpico.

There he would receive regular playing time and the opportunity to show his tactical versatility.

Kolarov has already done so at Lazio and caught the eye of Jose Mourinho.

The Serb wide man with the fierce left foot can play as a left-back, wide midfield or even as the third prong in a trident attack.

Lazio were reticent to sell Kolarov and his contract does not expire until 2012, but they would be willing to part with him if Inter offer co-ownership of Santon.

It is unlikely the Nerazzurri will accept giving away half of such a promising young player, so there are alternatives.

Inter could throw in youngsters Rene Khrin and Mattia Destro on loan to sweeten the deal.

Kolarov is also welcomed by Goran Pandev, his good friend who won a legal battle to be released from his Lazio contract.

Pandev is expected to undergo his Inter medical tomorrow and make his debut for the club against Chievo on Wednesday.
