El Shaarawy

He played in the qualifiers for Milan. There was a rule that if a player has played in qualifying and his team reach the group stages proper, then he's not eligible to play for another team in the competition (if his team don't qualify, then he is). Not sure if that's still true, but I'm sure that would be a deciding factor in getting him...

I think he will be able to play in the second stage, just at january and so on.
 
Is this going to be the surprise of the day? I thought City was done with big signings. What is the logic in this move because I don't see El Shaarawy playing much if he signed for City. Jovetic is a better player, in my opinion.

Negotiations between Manchester City and El Shaarawy not called off. Difficult deal though, as City offer much less than the 30m€ expected

why the fuck Tancredi Palmeri's posts gets so much attention on this forum is beyond me - I cannot think of anything he has ever got right, a grade A tosspot
 
Tancredi: City offering much less than 30m, negotiations ongoing.

Di Marzio: No contact from MCFC for El Sharaaway, who wants to stay with Milan.


I think I know who to believe. Thread - over!
 
I think El Shaarawy will complement our team really well. He operates on the left whilst Navas operates on the right and he tends to cut inside and score goals whilst Navas tends to use his pace on the outside and whip in quality crosses. This will pose two problems for our opposition and help us to change our game when one method is not working. My only concern is the Italian thing, the history of the EPL is littered with unsuccessful Italian imports who could not make the adjustment to the English game, but if we pull this transfer off today this season is going to be very exciting!
 
From what I have seen of him it seems to make sense. Plays down the left, quick, direct and technically sound.

I can't think of many better 20 year olds around in his position. He would be a good rotation player and a solid option to come off the bench late on if we're chasing games.

We won’t be in for him but if it came off it would be a smart move in my opinion.
 
If we genuinely wanted him then we would have pursued him a month ago. There is no value in deadline day signings unless a club approaches you with something you want, and seem to want to do a deal. Which is why I will enjoy watching the rags squirm over Ozil, Baines and Fellaini all today. They'll probably get Ozil, but he'll cost a pretty penny regardless of Bale, because Arsenal are also in for him and are under huge pressure to sign someone, anyone.

At best it is a cheeky bid to see if we can get a cheap deal done.

In reality it is deadline day and if a player as much as farts it will be taken as a sign that he wants to leave his club immediately.
 
I agree....no panic buying this time for City! They've done their shopping and picked up extra cover for the back 4 which was needed! I do think we could have still improved our team alittle more during this transfer window but i think we're done and city might see how the team does over the next few months and if needed might pick someone up in Jan...imho!

thanks

El Shaarawy staying at Milan
By Football Italia staff


Stephan El Shaarawy has rejected reports that he could be leaving Milan for Manchester City today.

The youngster’s future has been placed into doubt after the Diavolo signed Alessandro Matri from Juventus and Real Madrid’s Kaka over the last four days.

“I’ve decided to stay at Milan,” he told Sport Mediaset as he arrived in Florence to join up with the Italian national squad.

“I have made a precise decision and, no matter what offer arrives, I want to stay at Milan.

“There's more competition in the squad now, but there will be playing time for everybody. I'll fight for my place in the team.”

El Shaarawy was dropped from the Milan starting XI that beat Cagliari at San Siro on Sunday, but he insists there is no problem with boss Massimiliano Allegri.

“I don’t question the decisions of the Coach,” he responded.

When asked about Kaka’s return to Milan, the 20-year-old smiled: “He is my idol!”

El Shaarawy is now in his third season at San Siro. He has scored 18 goals in 61 League games for the Diavolo.
