I hate Emerson and would never want to see him in a Milan jersey. What I'm not understanding is if we're desperately looking for a midfielder, why couldn't we just keep Massimo Donati as a sub instead of selling him to Celtic? He's a pretty good player. thank the lord. I hate Emerson and would never want to see him in a Milan jersey.

(I do know that not everything in the paper edition turns up online, but beyond that I have nothing useful to provide.) If I go out again later, I'll check another newsstand and see if I can at least see the front page.

I checked the <a href="http://www.gazzetta.it" rel="nofollow">Gazzetta.it</a> quite frequently yesterday to get an update on the news, and unless I my eyes deceived me enormously, I don't remember seeing an article confirming Emerson's arrival to AC Milan. And if there's a newspaper that would have clinched the story first it would definitely have been Gazzetta (given that they're slightly Inter and Milan-biased). Even using their search engine yields no results: it only finds the article that <strong>denies</strong> his arrival (along with an excerpt of the statement made by Milan's official website). Unless maybe... the person that wrote the article decided to delete it from the database once the news was denied. What seems more likely (my guess) is that it was Channel4 who got a bit hasty in translating (and made a mistake). In any case, Channel4 mentions August 15 for the Gazzetta article, and I know for a fact that it was <strong>not</strong> published on that date. If anything, it would have been published <i>the day before</i> (I tend to go to bed very late at night, usually past the time they update their news back in the old country).
