BERLUSCONI: Nobody better than me

Posted on 04 November 2009 by Ben Greenwood

Silvio BerlusconiIt probably doesn’t come as a surprise that dear old Silvio, Prime Minister of Italy and owner of AC Milan, thinks nobody is better than him. In this case he was referring to any potential buyer of his football club.

Having overseen the sale of Kaka to Real Madrid for £59.9m and NOT buying too many replacements to help balance the Rossoneri books, it’s a fair question to ask if he would ever sell. There are interested parties, not least the Albanian Rezart Taci, but Berlusconi has always said never. In fact, what he said was:

I would make the sacrifice to sell Milan only to someone who would benefit the club more than me. Up to now, no one has come forward who fits the bill.

This is Silvio Berlusconi talking, so presumable until the Pope, Jesus Christ or God Almighty himself steps forward…

Beckham bids for World Cup with AC Milan

Posted on 03 November 2009 by Ben Greenwood

David Beckham continues his bid to claim a spot in the England squad for next year’s World Cup with the news that he has signed a loan agreement with AC Milan, the club he enjoyed a successful spell with last season. His MLS team LA Galaxy are happy for it to go ahead too, which is nice.

If it works out just as well then it’s almost nailed on that he will be on the plane to South Africa, Fabio Capello clearly keen to take him if he stays fit.

But should he? The contentious issue continues to keep pubs and papers in business. Sporting Fare is clear on the issue, however – yes, he should go. As an impact substitute and / or back up to one of his as yet unproven heirs there is no better option. Taking two or three from the Walcott / Young / Milner group and leaving Becks behind would be, in our opinion, A. Bad. Idea.

So good luck to him in Milan. Because England are going to need him at some point.
