28.Aug.2011 Aquilani, What A Shame
Alas, I won’t get to see Alberto Aquilani in a Liverpool jersey anymore. The Italian international finally secured a loan move to AC Milan for the rest of the season, with a view to a permanent deal. And let’s face it, it’s highly likely him and his agent will be looking to hammer out a [...]
