Get lost Milan

Jokers. Not even funny.

AC Milan have have dropped out of the running to sign Argentina striker Carlos Tevez from Manchester City.

Managing director Adriano Galliani claimed they came "ever so close" to agreeing a deal for the 27-year-old.

The Italian club, who set a 1800 GMT deadline to secure a deal, have instead signed Maxi Lopez from Catania on loan.

"If someone had asked me at 5.30pm who would be coming, I'd
have said Tevez. It was heart in mouth stuff right up to the deadline,"
Galliani said.

We've left things well with City and the misunderstandings have been overcome

Earlier this week City criticised Milan for the way they had gone about trying to sign the Argentine striker,
while Inter Milan and French Ligue 1 club Paris Saint-Germain both
withdrew from the race to sign Tevez after having bids turned down by
City.

Tevez has not played for City since September and his dispute
with the club has so far cost the Argentine £9.3m in wages, fines and
lost bonuses.

Tevez's adviser, Kia Joorabchian, told talkSPORT that he
expected his client to remain at City until the next transfer window in
June and Galliani has not ruled out making another bid in the summer.

"We've left things well with City and the misunderstandings have been overcome," he said.

"The market opens again in four months, so perhaps it will be just a few months of separation with 'Carlitos'.

What bollocks.

They were told to pay up - and once again they bottled it.

Be interesting if the rumour that we are going to make a late bid for Cavanni is true!

Double whammy for Tevez......"come back Carlos........now go train with the youngsters you twat, we've got Cavanni!!!
