Man I want to order the jersey but am I getting too old for that? Besides the Milan US store is fulfilled by soccer.com and apparently doesn't offer the official patches...hrmmmmmm
You can get all of the patches on here: http://store.acmilan.com/en/ac-milan-home-authentic-jersey-13-14.html
http://www.gianlucadimarzio.com/cal...-e-mezzo-abbiamo-soltanto-i-diritti-sportivi/ Galliani: "We had to lie for a while, now I'll tell the truth. He's in Japan to prepare the move. He'll be in Milan on the 30th of the december, we'll start training again by then. He signed for 3 years and half. June 2017. We don't have his image rights, only sports-related ones. The shirt n°10? He asked for it. We said all right. The expectations are very high. He's done extremely well until now"
http://www.nikkansports.com/soccer/world/news/p-sc-tp3-20131213-1230624.html 5,5 M Euro in base salary. How much is tax in his threshold in Italy? 43%?
Hmm if nikkan's numbers are true his wage would be on a par with Higuain? Maybe the incentive for joining on a free is included here.
Hmm I don't think it's very likely. Balotelli gets 4 mln, that would make him one of the highest wage of the whole Serie A... if it's 5,5 as total max., like considering the bonuses on goals, assists and stuff, then it seems a bit more realistic.
This is a sum with tax included. If it's like I heard, 43%, then it would be around 3M in his pocket.
http://www.milannews.it/primo-piano...l-milan-cosa-funziona-il-market-poolae-131015 Milan's Gandini at Milan Channel: "Yeah the hardship is about the work permit. The winter market actually opens exactly on the 3rd, the procedure will start and, as soon as possible, we'll get Honda's work permit. The player won't come to Milan before he has all the needed documents(note: this contradicts Galliani who said he was going to join on the 30th of December, dunno) so I don't think it will be before the 4th, 5th of January."
One more bit from Galliani, for what's worth even if he's not the coach he claimed that "if Milan will play with the "tree"(4-3-2-1) he'll be on the right. Which would mean: Montolivo, De Jong, ? Honda - Kakà Balotelli edit: yeah it seems Galliani was talking about the offensive trio
So what happens to El Shaarawy now? Does he get sold or he's just gonna be a bench player? In my opinion, it should be Honda, El Shaarawy, and Balotelli up front. Kaka can be a sub. Although it seems Kaka has done well so far in his return.
Kakà has been their best player so far, he won't be benched. El Sharaawy just got injured, he'll be back just when Honda comes, and will be a sub anyway. There's also Champions League and Coppa Italia to play for him too... Many people would like to see Muntari benched and 4-2-3-1 anyway. De Jong, Montolivo, Kakà, Honda, El Sharaawy, Balotelli.
That 4-2-3-1 formation would be perfect. El Shaarawy is too much of a young talent to let rot on the bench in my opinion.
