They did post about it in Serie A thread, same thing.

Personally I think it's a good signing for Milan, despite of him being an idiot I think he'll grant them a fair share of goals.

If he settles down just a wee bit, he's an awesome signing. Still surprised they're shelling out 20M for him when their defense is what it is.

He's a type of player that makes weird stuff outside of the pitch. IMO young Cassano had worse attitude on the pitch by far.

I'm not. They always had good players upfront, despite of weak-ish defense. In Serie A they can outscore conceded goals.

Regardless of Nesta slowing down in his last seasons, I wouldn't call him an Silva or even Silva and some other nerd a weak defense. At least not compared to Bonera, Yepes, Mexes.

Im happy to see him back in Italy to be honest. It's also better for us because now they have no money to invest in a defender. This is quite honestly a stupid signing by Milan. Balo would have probably joined Milan anyways once his contract ran out in manchester. They should have used this money for a defender and maybe a young goalie(Perin) and then waited for Balo to come for free when he was done at City.

I think so too. I wouldn't want him here though. But for Milan I can see it being a good signing. I doubt Allegri can handle him but he might be gone in summer.

I think him returning to Italy will calm him. He'll be speaking his native language and won't have the English press hounding him to the extent that they do so in the UK. If he can keep his calm, this is a good signing for Milan.
