Prefer Meireles by miles.

We can't recall him anyway. £13M in the summer please Juve.
 
I asked this before but can't remember if anyone answered - has anyone EVER received the full pre agreed fee for making a loan deal permanent?


Anyways, sell.
 
As talented as he is, the physical side of the EPL is something he won't be able to handle so I think the best thing would be to sell him.

He is doing very well at Juventus, so much so that past Juventus officials are calling for the side to be built around him.

He was never given a chance, id love him to be back but I doubt he will.

Yup.
 
We we're stupid to give them Alberto yet not inquire about Diego on loan.

To think we gave them Aqualani on loan and bought Poulsen from them instead. Jeez.
 
Aquilani is class. Hes been man of the match in most games hes played over there.
But he failed here once, under 2 different managers, so unless we get an Italian manager or an attacking one we may as well forget it.
 
Is he staying fit over there?

I'm sure he is a decent player but he was a liability here. Whether that was his fault, Benitez's fault or just pure bad luck, the fact still remains.

Best to cash in before he gets broken again.
 
He was excellent here on some of the few chances he had. It makes me sad to the core that we didn't give him a chance this season when he was finally fit.
 
Serie A was made for Aquilani. The Premiership is just too physical for him.

Great player that he is, Juve is his home now and he likes it that way. Ca-Ching!
 
I´d love to have him back? Too physical? There are plenty of not-built-for-the-epl-players who are playing very well.

I think that's a harsh assessment. You can only really label him as having failed under one manager. Did he even play a match under Hodgson? Saying that though, I see the point you're trying to make.

He had a miserable time here and is now enjoying his football again with Juve so I doubt he'd want to come back anyway.
[/quote]

He was saying in preseason that he was up for it, and the Juventus thing was a bolt from the blue. Unfortunately, he does sem to be enjoying Turin now.
 
Unless we get a major offer or he get's injured I wouldn't mind him back. Showed in glimpses that he can become a real player for us but as has been said not in a defensive-minded set-up.

Yeah I'm not saying he was desperate to leave at all. But at least football wise he was having a 'mare and now that he's flourishing in Italy it would be very hard to persuade him to come back I would assume.
 
I don't think he was having a mare by the end up.

He had a number of really good performances towards the end of the season, with a number of assists and a couple of goals.

He made his long awaited Premier league debut on 9 November 2009, as a late substitute against Birmingham City in a 2–2 draw.[17] He then made a 30 second appearance against Hungarian club Debrecen on 24 November which Liverpool won 1–0 courtesy of a goal from David Ngog. Aquilani made his first start against Fiorentina in an Champions League match on 9 December 2009, where Liverpool lost 2–1.[18] Aquilani made his first Premier League start against Wolves on 26 December 2009 and received a standing ovation from the Kop when he was substituted in the 84th minute for Daniel Pacheco.[19]

Aquilani next started for Liverpool in their 2–0 win over Bolton Wanderers, where he got his second assist for Liverpool, again setting up Dirk Kuyt. He scored his first goal for Liverpool on 15 March 2010 against Portsmouth and he also assisted Fernando Torres for the fourth Liverpool goal. He was voted man of the match by the fans on Liverpool's official website. Aquilani also gained the man of the match award in his next Liverpool league start, against Fulham F.C. in a goalless draw at Anfield. In his next start for Liverpool he finished the match with three assists during a 4–0 away win against Burnley F.C. On 29 April 2010 he scored a goal against Atletico Madrid in the Europa League, cancelling out Atletico's first leg goal from Diego Forlan by scoring moments before half-time. Despite a great performance from Aquilani on the night, Liverpool eventually went out of the semi-finals on the away goal rule after Benayoun had put Liverpool 2–0 up, as Diego Forlan scored his second of the tie in exta-time to take the aggregate score to 2–2.[20] Aquilani won the LFC Man Of The Match award again after his performance.[21] Aquilani also played in Liverpool's last 2 games of the season, a 2-0 defeat at the hands of Chelsea at Anfield[22] and a goalless draw away to Hull City at the KC Stadium.[23] In total, Aquilani played 26 times in his debut season for the reds, scoring twice but rarely playing the full 90 minutes.

Well maybe having a mare is a bit harsh but he certainly wasn't setting the league alight. But that's really not the point here, the point is if Juve wants to keep him there's very little we can do about it.
 
Don't rate him in the league whatsover. Don't want him back. Sell. Hope he continues to do well so we get a good price.

what reason have you got to doubt us getting the agreed 16m euros fee? if juventus decline the option then we either keep him or sell him for whatever the market value is, and there's more reason right now to think that'll be higher than 16m than lower.

the price has already been set.
 
True, but that's usually because they've been crap and they refuse to pay unless the price is reduced.

Like with Scott Carson and Villa.

If Aquilani keeps playing well, they'll bite our hands off at 13 million considering it's far less than what we paid for him.

Did we not pay 17m for him?

About 18 million; with another 2.5 million in add-ons (which shouldnt kick in).

5% of the fee goes to Roma though.

Cunts.

Actually I read your post wrong and thought you'd said we'd paid less than 13m for him. Sorry...
