But they're resigning him? Perhaps that would suggest that they may, to some extent, regret the wonderful talent* slipping through the net.
*Admittedly, I'm being a bit facetious here as I think most of us have felt his time here as been lacklustre for a number of reasons, but it does make you think.
Maybe it's a situation of horses for courses: he isn't happy here and they think he can do a job in the slower Serie A; they think it's a decent deal to exploit.
I'd have liked him to have thrived here as we need goals and youth; it's regrettable that we're talking about another failing, but hopefully we can reinvest wisely.
