I would like to think Van Ginkel is going out on loan rather than permanently. Seems a decent prospect for the future.

It also doesn't help with his high wage demands and Milan's unwillingness to pay all of it. Everything points towards the deal falling through. The phrase 'if it is too good to be true, it probably is' really epitomises this situation. But as you said, lets hope Milan don't get sober anytime soon because they must be drunk to even be interested

If we sell Torres, which in all honesty is best for him and us, we need to get another striker! Schurrle as a 3rd striker won't do. He is a winger and will be on the pitch most of the time anyway. He played upfront against PSG in the first leg and wouldn't stay central. Upfront he has no presence and is ineffecitve, while on the wing, he is able to make effective runs under the radar, without being rigorously marked like a centre forward is. Just having Drogba and Costa would be worrying. If Costa were to get injured Im not sure a 36 year old Drogba could handle a game every 3 days. I really hope Mourinho has another striker lined up should Torres leave.
