El Shaarawy and City

[ACMilan]

Hasn't his form dipped since Mario arrived? There seems to be quite a commotion about his drop in form on Italian websites.

He isn't worth that sort of money for me. As someone said, £20million is a more realistic value.

Papers are doing what papers do... Pull shite from their ass to sell stories.

El Shaarawy has only had a dip in goals. But that's because Mario is taking that by the scruff. Stephan is still playing very well, contributing all over the pitch, especially defensively... He's getting his scoring chances (admittedly not as many as before) but his finishing has let him down.

Ya, being blunt, his form has taken a "hit" but only because his stats arent growing since mario came. but a few games aside, hes been same old great

this is all according to Corriere Dello Sport, by the way

not verified, but I wouldnt be totally shocked

Better spent on Lamela.

I would be I'd have serious questions whether he can make it in england. He's very young and I just don't think Milan have any intention of selling and I don't think anyone is gonna pay an obscene fee right now given his age

CdS probably got the story from greguccis assistant or some shit and didn't bother getting a second source. Lazy reporting per usual

45 million. Fuck me is Cook still involved


No fucking way

I'd say that it is bollocks.

And I think £45m for him is more bollox!

Confirmed, 35m euro offer for him. I think it is too much right now.

Not a chance, would be a royal waste of 35m.

I find it hilarious how people who are saying "OMG YUSH!!! NEYMAR'S WORLD CLASS OMG <3" in the Neymar thread respond to the notion (probably not even true) of us bidding on a player in a big league who has scored 15 goals in 24 games from primarily a left-sided role in such a negative way. It's sad that people would prefer a footballer who they've (probably a few exceptions) only seen in Youtube videos and vs. England over someone who has put his team's attacking force on his back in a respectable league.

I'm not saying we should be spending 45 million on him, but it bothers me how people are backing a bigger move for a less proven player (Neymar). If we're spending 45 million on one player, it should be Cavani in my opinion. I'd rather we spread the money out and get multiple players though.

What like Maicon, Rodwell, Sincliar and Garcia!!! That worked well! No thanks we need world class talent that can go straight into the first team!
