Guest blueboy122 Posted January 12, 2014 Report Share Posted January 12, 2014 (edited) Gutted to be missing out on a player like him on a free. But to be fair can see why he would want to go and paly for AC Milan they are one of the biggest teams in the world however on the other hand I certainly wouldn't want to be playing in that Italian league with there boring football and empty grounds. Sometimes watch the Italian highlights and cant believe how empty the stadiums are they look like there actually empty as if the games are being played behind closed doors, even the big teams in that league AC, Inter, Juve, Roma have half empty grounds unless big teams are playing each other. Good player though by all accounts. Edited January 12, 2014 by blueboy122 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted January 13, 2014 Report Share Posted January 13, 2014 Daily Mail reckons he'll sign a pre-contract deal with AC Milan: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2537876/Everton-target-Fernando-ready-sign-pre-contract-agreement-AC-Milan.html would be surprised considering our respective seasons and AC just sacking their manager. I know they have history but so do we, as well as stability and a bright(er) future (at the moment at least!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hafnia Posted January 13, 2014 Report Share Posted January 13, 2014 wont be when they dont qualify for the Europa League, nevermind CL! This is the beauty of what we are seeing at Old Trafford... lets see how cocky and arrogant they are at getting the worlds best when they are trying to get into europe by fair play awards. I would truly love to see United fail to achieve top 4 and watch their targets go to their rivals. Just watching the likes of Mourinho picking at the likes of Rooney and infuriating their fans with comments like "Chelsea are bigger than Man United right now, we are in the champions league, Wayne Rooney should be playing champions league" - ahh would love it.

Lowensda Posted January 13, 2014 Report Share Posted January 13, 2014 wont be when they dont qualify for the Europa League, nevermind CL! Honda? He understands that AC are going through a blip! The lifestyle at Milan... Footballing reasons and for a project, we'd be a better prospect but for success, unfortunately, a player of his caliber, will choose Milan.

I would sign for Milan, get a roll neck undershirt, wear gloves, grow my hair and have an alice band... it's just a cool club. I still look back at that team from the early 90's as one of the best, gullit, van basten. baresi, maldini... ace.

Lowensda Posted January 15, 2014 Report Share Posted January 15, 2014 Barry isn't guaranteed and if having a Champions League level player in your team will help you push on, then we need him. I agree that we've left ourselves a little short on top but it's also a position we can't take for granted (CM) Matt 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louis Posted January 15, 2014 Report Share Posted January 15, 2014 He wasn't too keen in the last window, I can't see it happening. Although, this time around there's no work permit malarky as he recently acquired Portuguese nationality. Steve_E 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lowensda Posted January 29, 2014 Report Share Posted January 29, 2014 I think it's Liverpool. Successor/replacement for Lucas. Would hate it but Roger's been saying for days they're close to a major signing or two. I hope not but fear it could be. United a possible second.

c1982 Posted February 9, 2014 Report Share Posted February 9, 2014 The rumour I've heard is that the contract only means he'll remain under consideration for selection at Porto pre-world cup and the move to man city will happen in the summer.
