Talksport are reporting on their website that Riccardo Montolivo has agreed a four year deal with AC Milan. If that's true I'd be really disappointed! He is quality and to get him on the free that would be awesome.
Not saying its Wengers fault like why wouldn't an Italian not want to play for AC but I'd high hopes we could get him! {Ed002's Note - Montolivo was always going to leave Fiorentina in the summer and regardless of interest from Juventus, Liverpool and Roma he was certainly headed to one or other of the Milan clubs.}

Italians hardly ever leave Italy, especially when they are still recognized internationals looking to catch their coaches eye.

This isn't true for EVERY case, so don't quote me there, but Italians stay home most of the time..

Not surprised whatsoever with Montolivo...

Ed plz tell me is it true that wenger has given a transfer kitty of 55 milliom. wajid {Ed001's Note - clubs don't operate in that way any more. They don't set X amount aside for transfer fees, any fund will include signing on and agent fees. It will also be subject to being dipped into or added to as needed to fund other areas of the club.}

Thanks for making this point clear ED! I hope people finally way up to the fact that there are no glass jars labelled "Transfer Kitty" sitting in managers offices. These are businesses that hold some cash reserves, but not wholly for transfers.
