If he's worth 8-10m tops, I would suggest we get him back and fight for a place in the squad. He's after all an above average footballer who is also an Italian regular in the first 11 on current form.
he is 26 and not 28/29 as many quote. It is just brinkmanship from Juve, we agreed a fee of 17mil and they probably wont pay more than 12mil but really want to spend 9/10mil. I would get on the phone now and request him back if they have no plans to pay the agreed price. We have shelvey out for 3months, Spearing injured again as well. Aquiliani has a good attitude and whilst struggled with the physical side generally you could see he has ability.
Kenny is a smart operator so I trust him. Also we must rember Aquiliani is a key part of the squad purely just from his re-sale value. If we want to spend in the summer accepting 8-1mil less will hurt our transfer budget. The lad is playing well and therefore is holding his value. let them sweat I say. Also why do this now? they want a deal done before others can get involved.
