#272054 Transfer Rumours 2015/16

They should but it's kind of tricky to enforce that sort of thing properly. It's way easier to enforce a ban on player registration than on transfer negotiations.

He scored 28 in all competitions for Sevilla last year and he's got 7 in 20 for Colombia. He's probably not a world beater but he's pretty good.

There's no comparison with Atleti at all. In 2012 they had won two Europa's in three years. Milan aren't even close to being as good, they could qualify sure, but there's no way they are going to improve quickly enough to challenge. Things can change quickly but they rarely, if ever, change that quickly. You seem to be suggesting that there's a reasonable chance of Milan jumping from 10th in Serie A to Champions League contenders in 3/4 years - at a time when the group of teams challenging for the CL is probably the most predictable it's been in years. You're kidding yourself.
I always enjoy his attempts at hyping up Mendes clients on Twitter whenever they do anything vaguely noticeable. He's so biased to Mendes/Mourinho/Ronaldo it's almost laughable.

Yeah, the other options aren't great.
There's no way in hell they will be a 'contender' for the CL within 3 seasons.
#271643 Transfer Rumours 2015/16
bluemoon.
It's not a team that has the potential to win the CL though, certainly not within the time he'll be there given that he is, as you say, almost 29. He's not exactly a long-term signing and as it's probably his last big contract, it's a slightly odd choice unless he's being given a bid wedge of cash (in which case it's entirely understandable).

And? Since when is that the deciding factor in what club a player joins? They tend to be more interested in wages and the potential for success.
It does makes sense if they're actually spending money, I've got so used to Silvio being stingy I hadn't really considered that as a possibility.
Going from 10th to 2nd/3rd would be pretty impressive tbh. It'll be interesting to see who else they bring in, maybe they'll finally get rid of Philippe Mexès and bring in an actual good centre-back.
#271555 Transfer Rumours 2015/16

He's moving to an average team in an inferior league and giving up Champions League football in the process. I realise they're still a big club but that still strikes me as odd. I hope he's being paid a lot because that would explain it but Milan haven't exactly splashed out the cash over the last few years.
I'm pretty surprised nobody else has tried to sign him either.

The great centre-backs always do.
#268639 Transfer Rumours 2015/16

Yeah, he's just not a centre-back. He had a decent spell there about 8 years ago. He's struggled basically every time he's placed there since.

They really missed out there. Fairly certain they rejected a buy-out offer from City for their percentage too.
Really hope it works out for him, I'm not convinced based on the last few seasons though. Apparently Sherwood might be using him as a CB?
#268034 Transfer Rumours 2015/16
bluemoon.
Absolutely, but not all 29 year-old players sign 4 year contracts on £100k+ p/w. In that context I'd say it's a very valid argument.
#267991 Transfer Rumours 2015/16

He was horrendously underrated, now he's coming close to being overrated. He can't be faulted for his work-ethic, that's virtually always good, but his end product can vary pretty wildly. He has spells of very good form and then spells of poor form that tend to be masked by the aforementioned work-rate.
#267950 Transfer Rumours 2015/16

The problem with the Milner signing is less about the money and more the length of the deal. A four-year contract for a 29 year-old is a bit excessive, it was the main reason I wasn't fussed about him leaving. He'll probably be fine for another two years but after that? I wouldn't fancy keeping him on at 32-33.
He was really good for the first half of the season and pretty average for the second half of the season. It'll be interesting to see how Liverpool use him though, because he's fucking gash as a central midfielder.

Fair enough. That I can understand.

I'm not particularly advocating for McClaren, I was asking because I'm not convinced Vieira is ready to manage a Premier League team yet. He's done alright at City but while the EDS have been pretty good, they've made a habit of letting leads slip and he seems incapable of properly organising a defence.

You'd prefer Vieira?

I think Rodgers has come close with a few players this season (although admittedly with players who aren't quite as talented as Di María).

Absolutely and this is a massive concern due to the huge influence of the grime scene.
