He's dangerous on his day. I suppose he's had a few more of those days this season, all of a sudden PL teams take notice. They love a good counter attacking pace threat.
Perisic isn't even that pacy and they already have Rashford, Miki, Martial...Young :p

They again focus on attacking players when what they actually need are defenders and (maybe) CM's.

Would be a good deal for Inter though.

New twist in Milan takeover
By Football Italia staff

The Milan takeover is getting more complex, as Sino-Europe Sports is disbanded, making Yonghong Li the sole owner funded by several different loans.

The conglomerate had been set up to bring together numerous Chinese and Asian investors who were aiming to buy up the club from President Silvio Berlusconi and his holding company Fininvest.

As there were more and more delays to the closing, which was originally meant to be last year, it became apparent the investors were also dwindling.

Now it’s reported Sino-Europe Sports has been shut down and replaced by a new offshore holding company, Rossoneri Sport Luxembourg.

Chinese banker Yonghong Li is the only shareholder now and will finance the takeover of Milan using a variety of loans funnelling cash out of China through offshore accounts, the most recent being in the British Virgin Islands.

Il Sole 24 Ore – the Italian equivalent of the Financial Times – notes that he has approached US hedge fund Elliot Management Corporation.

They are expected to provide €180m to both meet the deadline for another deposit and complete the closing by April 14.

However, this situation is definitely not what Berlusconi signed up for, nor promised to fans when he said the club would be left in safe hands.

While city rivals Inter have giant Suning Group able to finance the club, Milan are going to be propped up by a series of loans to different offshore companies using loopholes to avoid a clampdown by the Chinese Government on unauthorised funds leaving the country.

Even if Yonghong Li does manage to complete the takeover, how is he going to get guaranteed access to money for transfer fees or improved contracts to the likes of Gianluigi Donnarumma, Giacomo Bonaventura and Suso?

even the young players they buy are shit. Sabatini :touched:

Roma sporting director Walter Sabatini released a surprisingly intimate interview discussing his thoughts on sex and his suicidal tendencies.


The 61-year-old was at several points touted to leave the Giallorossi this season, and some believed he wanted to take a sabbatical as he was under tremendous stress.

The Gazzetta dello Sport published an unusual interview in which Sabatini discussed his life in terms of his beloved novel, Gabriel Garcia Marquez's '100 Years of Solitude'.

In the South American masterpiece, the character Jose Arcadio Buendia is stunned to discover ice for the first time.

“Myself, I have yet to discover ice, perhaps,” he told La Gazzetta. “But I remember when I was nine and my grandfather, who worked in the foundry at Marsciano, told me about a kid called Gianni Rivera who was good at playing football.

“He may never even have seen him, but he made me curious enough to stop one Sunday in front of a TV and abandon forever the cowboys-and-indians games. From that moment on I could think of nothing but football.

“At the time I used to wait and let the wind dry my sweat so my parents wouldn't know I'd played football, because they didn't like how it ruined my clothes. I convinced them to take me to Juventina and that was the beginning of both my happiness and self-harm.”

Sabatini was also asked, in a more personal question, what his relationship with sex was.

“Sex saved my life. I see it everywhere. The goal, for example, is penetration. I've always had desperate sex, of the type that heals pain.


“Men have a hormonal problem. When the hormones are satisfied, you can also quieten the voices of greed and arrogance. I was hoping those voices could be quietened more quickly with me, but it didn't happen.

“Sex lets you do things in excess and helps you tolerate the rest. To this day I can't stand losing.

“I am like [Marquez's] Coronel Aureliano Buendia, who loses not because he fails strategically, but only because he becomes lonely and nasty in his solitude.

“My plight is written in numbers and statistics. Of course there are other factors too, but with Roma I feel our problems in my guts.

“I've often been ambushed, but that doesn't surprise me. Friendship for me is a silent process, I don't really cultivate it. Even when it comes to my brother, whom I love enormously, I can go without speaking with him for three months. Phone calls that last more than 15 seconds are unhealthy for me.

“Suicide? I already kill myself every day. I always had very little respect for my own life. At first it was because I adored my own psycho-physical abilities: I thought I could do everything, and I still think that, so much so that I am unsuccessfully suicidal.

“My greatest regret? I think I wasn't good at loving people. Some women deserved a bit more tenderness, starting from my mother Lina. But I also held everything inside.”
