Technically the co-ownernship arrangement could be extended another season, but I think that it's pretty much a foregone conclusion that we'll be purchasing him outright very shortly. He's an important piece of the squad at this point, versatile, still very young, with the potential for further improvement; it's going to happen.
I noticed that, but they were tired of doing that by then, it was more telling De Ceglie was kinda ignored when he was amongst ze first dozen when they were all hyped hehe.
