it seems like a kind of "stop-gap" like players you would only want to have for a season to fill up the team for depth.
when some of these players convince you can buy them, if not its no problem. i think that the board thinks that we will play champions league next season, so they will evaluate which players did well the past season and which did not... and on top of that its more simple to get rid of the players that did not perform if it was only a loan in the first place. if we achieve CL qualification we will easily say "fuck off" to players that did not perform and will have the possibility to get better players in that position (because of our CL status).
i see no problem in taking someone on loan for a position you really need, if you are not convinced he is really good its the best you can do.
so i guess a few of the loans will not be made permanent if we qualify for CL and we will get better players (that only come to us because we play CL) in those positions.
completely agreed.
Most complainers miss a few key factors
1 : milan signs robinho and ibra because they got championsleague money, we dont got championsleague money.
2 : and IF you had the money, No TOP player CARES about a euroleaguecrap team, they want champions league.
3 : LOANS are fantastic, it allows us to buy players we keep for a year to reach champions league, and takes the risk away of spending
seriously, i wish they loaned tiago, almiron and grosso, now we payd for them
example : we got pepe on the wing. he's a loan that might help the team with the dept in selection to get 3th place.
if we finish third, we just send his pathetic ass back, and buy gourcuff from lyon
gourcuff, good example of a player that we would have gotten if we made CL, but since we didnt, he didnt want to come, and we didnt had the cash
to add to this
since we got no real striker at the moment, and benzema, pazzini, and dzeko not wanting to come to our euroleague team, getting borriello is a good idea
he can play for now, cause we are strikerless
and when amauri and iaquinta are back wel, how many injuries did we got last year ?
i'm pretty certain we wont stay injuryfree up front the entire year
and at the end, milan can have him back, and we buy someone who's better, if we get 3th or 4th
