My away days are more or less behind me, we've got friends through in Glasgow so will probably head through for the weekend in March and go to the game then but I won't be able to make it on the 7th.

Edit: 7-0 now, Di Francesco's probably getting sacked in the morning...

Napoli - Dortmund is the way to go, Milan will be dreadful tonight, look at the state of their starting 11, that midfield 3 especially:
Abbiati; Zaccardo, Zapata, Mexes, Constant; Nocerino, De Jong, Muntari; Birsa; Balotelli, Matri

A player must have 2 years or more left on his current contract to be eligable.
You buy 50% and agree where he plays, either one of his owners or on loan to a 3rd team.
After a year you get the chance to negotiate the deal, so you can buy the other 50%, sell your stake or renew the deal for another season. If you can't agree what to do by the co-ownership deadline it goes to a blind auction.
Co-ownership only lasts for two seasons, so the end of this season is the same as the first except you can't renew the deal.
The pressure in the Italian league system is huge and more often than not managers don't see out the season, as a result every game is crucial and 9 times out of 10 they will use older more reliable players than loan kids. Through co-ownership the Serie B/C side owns a share of the player so it's in their interest to play him, get his value up and make a profit when/if they sell their share.
Anyway, back on topic, shame about the defeat in Europe, still 5 games left in the group so it's not a disaster. I'm not sure if your database will be the same but keep an eye on Brocchi, his stats and performances tend to drop off after Christmas and he becomes a bit of a liability and card magnet.

I think their jumping the gun a bit, there's a big gap between the wages etc Arsenal are offering and what Ozil's after but I doubt the deal would have collapsed so quickly.

Shame Gattuso didn't do it when he had the chance...
In other news Innocent Emeghara has moved to Livorno, seems another season battling against the drop in Serie A was more appealing than a move to Celtic.

Sorry on my phone so the image isn't great, I take it it's a framed picture sort of thing? It's our first (paper) wedding anniversary next year so something like that kinda suits it.

Your defender is a total moron, two handballs and two penalties in as many minutes

It'll be interesting to see how he gets on, he's already seen as a realistic alternative to Zabaleta in the national side (his defensive game is meant to be better) so he could end up replacing him at club level as well.

I dunno, I'd be lying if I said I can remember seeing him over a full match but from his stats and the reaction of varous Lazio sites he's not what we're looking for. 22 goals over two seasons in a league where Graziano Pelle got 27 or so isn't really encouraging.

Last night he was heading to Napoli, this morning they had signed Matri for €12m and this afternoon their signing some Uruguyan laddie. I hate this time of year

They are, that's why they'd have either demanded a fortune to give up their share or came to a compromise within the rules like them getting a share of a sell on fee. That exact situation happened when Lazio were trying to sign Felipe Anderson, the deal was agreed with Santos long ago but an English company that owned 30% of his rights kept demanding different things and offering the player to other clubs in the meantime. Only when he said he was going to report them to FIFA did they play ball.

For the 3rd parties to give up their stake in a player moving to Europe for the first time they'd have either demanded a fortune (which Arsenal wouldn't have paid) or wanted a huge slice of the fee Arsenal got if (more like when) they sold him on. Can't see Wengers economist brain liking that one bit either.

Milan's budget is more or less dependent on them getting into the Champions League groups, as things stand they probably won't be bringing anybody else in but once their through the qualifiers I wouldn't be surprised to see them bring in another one or two late in the window.
