Financially, the new Juve stadium has the same fiscal impact as making the Champions' league. Smart clubs will build their own places..even if it means going to a smaller stadium then the one they're leasing.

Absolutely. I would add that, unlike the Champions League, you are guaranteed to have stadium revenue every year.
This is exactly why Roma's american ownership is so focused on building the new stadium in the least amout of time possible (and vastly improving merchandising).

And why both Milan clubs are looking for dump expenses while teams like Fiorentina, Palermo, Udinese etc are moving ahead with new stadiums that they control. In 5 years, the top clubs in italy will be the ones with their own stadium.

They are sharp. Classy compared to Liverpool's scuba awa kit and Liverpool's purple/orange tribal-art mess of a 3rd kit. (despite me being grumpy overall - I do love the new home kits)
Edit...Scott Parker looks like a tool in the photo. lol

Borini is in Liverpool getting a physical. Looks like 10-12M is the price tag...
Rumors heating up that Liverpool will get Dempsey. Looks like Dempsey for Charlie Adam +3M....or Dempsey+9M for Downing. (LOL) I'll take the later in a heartbeat. Aquilani is staying put at Anfield, so moving Adam would make sense...but I'd love to offload Downing.

It's approximately 13.5M (euros).
8M would make no sense whatsoever since we just effectively bought him at 8.5M

"Seriously you have no money anymore? Should I sign you a cheque?"
-Zlatan Ibrahimovic to Galliani(the Milan President) on the phone yesterday.

Still buying, normally he is supposed to sign tomorrow.
Who is signable otherwise? the list is very limited (Messi, CR7 and Rooney can not be considered).
Tevez is nuts, Higuain is football-stupid...
Falcao or Hulk would be nice, but I'm not sure of their adaptability and for sure their star power is lacking.
I'm seriously open to suggestion, because if Zlatan may not be my absolute dream, I beleive is offering some strong arguments in his favor.

Roberto Soldado, Pappis Cisse, Fernando Llorente, Robert Lewandoski, Robin Van Persie, and these are just the players I can name off the top of my head who will be cheaper in terms of transfer fee, wages and headache. Star power shouldn't matter as much as getting the right players. City learned this the hard way and won the league when they finally started getting their spending right.

And when you have Levezzi, Ibra, Pastore, Gameiro and Menez...you really don't need another high ticket attacker. A matchup depth striker maybe.
