http://www.milannews.it/primo-piano...e-dal-3-di-gennaio-e-avra-la-numero-10-130802 Galliani: "Now I can say it, we already have the contract registered, but we made it secret. Honda will be a Milan player from the 3rd of January and will wear the shirt #10. Now I can say it officially. I'm not sure if he will be able to play immediately on the 6th of january because for extraue players there are some rules. I hope Gandini won't get mad"
It seems like L'Equipe was right reporting what Galliani said in October. So that's 4,5 year contract?
Hmm there doesn't seem to be any official confirmation so far but the last was 4 years, and between 2,5 and 3 millions as a wage.
A couple more words from Galliani: " Honda has to go in Japan for the work permit. That's why I'm not sure if he will be able to play already on the 6th. If he misses that, he'll be ready for Sassuolo, on the 12th. "
Wow, Honda already sell shirts Good market business for Milan... and despite this fact i think he will do well at Milan because it's a player with personality
If you're really interested, I checked, and no it shouldn't be http://store.acmilan.com/en/shipping/?___store=milanen&___from_store=milanit
Thanks, I'm gonna use part of my salary (hory shet, it's expensive) to buy the home/away official jerseys with honda's name
Do you think it's safe to pick up the #10 jersey before Honda confirms it? I know Galliani said it, but shouldn't we wait for Honda to say something?
Galliani confirmed that the contract has already been registered by the italian football association, it's definitely ok. But hey, shirts don't sell out so you can wait as much as you wish, I guess. Meanwhile, Milan is playing in 10 since after the first '20 thanks to mr. Montolivo... they'll advance with a draw. Keisuke can't play with Milan in CL, of course.
This guy even gets coverage here in England as well. . To be fair, I've been surprised by the number of people who knows of Honda here. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/25338102
