The Skipper 20,609 Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 Again he has 25 appearances in the Serie A but 4 of them off the bench; 6 in the CL with one off the bench, so 26 starts. He's not really in Milan's plans because they have younger players who are already better than him like Niang and El Shaarawi.Kevin has always been inconsistent and this season has been no different. He's an attacking midfielder who only managed to score more than 5 per season once in his entire career. Even last season, which was the best season in his career, he had some great performances in the CL (which cause all this hype around him) but was largely inconsistent in the league and only managed to score 5 goals. I'd much rather we get Van Ginkel (or God forbid bring De Bruyne back) who has loads more potential to be come better than Kevin and would come in on low wages and more importantly low expectations. No, ESPN has him as 32 official games started (GS) + 5 substitute appearances. Again for the last time, I'm not saying we should sign him, he doesn't suit our squad. All I'm doing is arguing about how I rate him as a player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jase 43,479 Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 Actually 29 in the Serie A with 4 of them as a sub. One start in the Coppa Italia and 6 starts in the CL as well as one substitute appereance.Total for 12/13 is 32 starts and five sub appereances. From Soccerway.com, can't see why they would be wrong. WhoScored and ESPN agree with me and The Skipper.http://www.acmilan.com/en/teams/roster_player/8240Milan's website also agrees with you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's not a key player for Milan any more nor is he in their plans for next season as I just pointed out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jype 6,398 Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 http://www.whoscored.com/Players/11867/Yep, that means exactly what I wrote. You're the one who's reading it wrong.25(4) means 25 starts and four sub appereances, not 25 total with four of them off the bench. If you'd played FM, you would kow this.

Beepu 1,714 Posted June 9, 2013 Share Posted June 9, 2013 Also both named Kevin so it's not really helping. I can see commentators making a mess of this if they play together."That was a great shot by Kevin De boateng, I mean Kevin Prince Bruyne, what the hell am I saying?"

Leif 6,006 Posted June 9, 2013 Share Posted June 9, 2013 I'm confident that regardless whether the club do or don't actually want him that his wage demands will be too high. The club would probably want to spend £60k per week on him at most but he'll likely demand something more like £70k - £85k, especially when you consider the fact we are indeed Chelsea and have had a record of overpaying players in the past.I remember he had a long contract dispute with Milan last season (I think). He was on around £40k a week and was demanding close to £80k a week. The proposal was rejected by Milan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leif 6,006 Posted June 9, 2013 Share Posted June 9, 2013 After talks with our Chelsea reps today his agent is now off to Portugal where Jose currently is to speak directly with him to get an understanding of what Boateng's role would be here if he were to sign.

Strike 7,540 Posted June 9, 2013 Share Posted June 9, 2013 Well, the good news is Chelsea are trying to add a bit of steel to the midfield. Last week there was talk of de Rossi, this week KPB. Most of us would prefer de Rossi but I can only imagine he wants to stay at Roma if Chelsea have jumped to Boateng Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jype 6,398 Posted June 9, 2013 Share Posted June 9, 2013 So looks like this deal could well happen. On a personal level I'm not holding a grudge on him for Ballack like many Chelsea fans but I'm not quite sure what he'd bring to the team. I'm under the impression he's best playing behind the striker but that's the only position where we really are stacked as it is. How's he in a deeper role? If we're really getting him, maybe we could try negotiate a part-exchange deal involving Essien going to Milan? They've been interested in him before.
