Quote:A1. Since he struggles at Roma, it shows that Roma was smart not to pay for him TWO seasons ago, lets say he is around 15mil. Thus, Roma actually made a saving of 15 mil on a crap player.

Quote:B. If he is a solid contributor in Roma. I am sure both Roma and Barca will neg., a better deal than the 40mil. Since I doubt Barca wants someone who is just solid and okay in their attack in two years time, as Messi, Allefay, Pedro and Sanchez are all between 24-27, aka prime age while Villa is only 31. Given they don't sign anyone or promote any youngsters in the next two years. At the end of the day, Roma will probably end up with Brojin without coughing up 40mil, and lets say half of that. Yes, Roma might have to pay abit more than TWO years ago, but the difference is, Roma knows what they are getting instead of someone with great potential with chances of being a bust.

Quote:C. He turns out to be the next Messi or someone at the top level. If that is the case, then 40mil is a bargain. True, that Roma could have sign him TWO seasons ago with 1/3 of the price but as I mentioned in B, it is a risk as he is an unknown. While this 40mil is on a sure thing. You won't need to guess how he will bend in with new surroundings or performs in a new formation...

Quote:I really don't understand why you would think Roma made a bad deal in all of this as long as they have the 40mil to pay Barca in two years. As the only way I see Roma loses out in this deal, is Brojin becomes a great player and can't afford to pay Barca that 40mil.

It's a very reasonable price considering he is young, a captain, world class and just the player we need.

Come on, we bought Nesta for 30 million when he was needed. 40 millions today might be even less than 30 mil back then.

Mr. Galliani Wrote:Mi risulta che Fabregas sia un giocatore dell'Arsneal e non del Barcellona. Non so ci sarà un derby con il Barcellona per arrivare al suo cartellino. Costa cifre iperboliche, non è un nostro obiettivo". Lo ha detto l'amministratore delegato del Milan Adriano Galliani a proposito di una possibile sfida con il Barcellona per entrare in possesso del cartellino di Fabregas. A proposito di Schweinsteiger, poi, Galliani ha detto che "Lui è una bandiera e non verrà al Milan. Basta con questo Mister X - ha poi detto Galliani - Se verrà arriverà alla fine. Kakà? sono tutte operazioni difficilissime, con operazioni economiche complicate. Stiamo tranquilli". Un ultima considerazione Galliani l'ha fatta a proposito di Montolivo assicurando che "Non siamo mai andati a fondo con Montolivo. Poi sul mercato tutto è possibile. E' una delle tante operazioni aperte. Se ho in mente Mr X? Forse".

Actually 40 mil euros now should be more than 40 mil euro in the past if we see how strong EURO now AND how we have much money in the past (compare to lately situation where we have to make tight transfer fee).

For 40 mil euro I do doubt Milan can pay it without adding player(s) in that sum. Milan could probably give only 20-25 mil euro+player(s).

Anyone can translate or at least give important information from Galliani's quote below? Thanks before.
