That Gorky fellow no good, I tell you...he very afraid of Italian Serie A becoz that League manufacter great talents and French league manufacter nobody important.
Drogba, Essien, Malouda, Benzema all not achieve nothing in big boys.....while Italy has 4 time CL winner, and the Great Oddo who could teach all of the French poor league how to cross.
And it not becoz Milan in crisis...Noooooo and MGMT superb, it is becoz he very affraid

I tell you

It is really confusion.

Yesterday Sport Mediaset said that Rafinha is a Juve player and in a couple of ours also Grosso will sign.

Then Magath said that on Monday Rafinha will be officially a Juve player.

And now Milan News reported Secco that Rafinha was never their objective as he is a non EU player and have no space available for him. Also they will not sign anybody else on the right.

I think Secco is not telling the whole truth. At least Juve interest in the player was reported in both German and Italian media.

The good thing at the end of this report says that in this case the player has a free way to join Milan in a loan deal plus a buy out clause at a fixed price of 9 million Euros.

Caceres came on loan so it doesn't count either.
You can only buy 1 non-eu per year/season, and it was Diego. (unless he has dual citizenship?)

No, I don't think you are right on this.
An Italian team can sign 2 non EU players in one season but have to release another non EU player.

For example Milan signed Tiago Silva this summer and still has another post.
If Milan will also sign Rafinha they have to release Viudez to make way.

And Boban is right If a non EU player is already playing in Italy doesn't count.

ok...my bad

but it means Juve CAN buy Rafinha?

When Sheva came on loan, he ate our 1 non-EU spot.

Information for you, now we are able to do 2 non-EU purchases FROM OUTSIDE ITALY per season, we have used one on Thiago Silva (yes he is counted as this season's purchase as last season those spots were used for Sheva and Viudez).

Juventus in other hand, have used them also by signing Caceres and Diego.

Secco was just reported that they cannot.

And it means that Juventus can not buy Rafinha this season. (BTW, I'm not 100% sure whether he or Diego has EU citizenship. Someone can confirm?)

loans do count as a signing otherwise silva would have played last year as shevchenko was on loan, i think caceres hold a eu passport i not sure i can't find any information on his status. i think diego has a eu passport http://www.footballdatabase.com/inde...Ribas_da_Cunha

one point to make why would juventus been so keen to sign rafinha if they have caceres on their books plus they have been chasing dossena and grosso all summer which suggest they want a left back. I don’t doubt juventus interest in the player if they aren’t able to sign grosso
