No longer Drogba’s dream move, we assume

Only last week, Drogba was caught twittering about how great AC Milan are, alluding to a move, building them up like they were the best team since AC Milan in the 1980s. And yet, now, everyone has gone a little bit hushed.

All the big talk has been of Ronaldinho linking up with Kaka, Berbatov was on his way, some quarters had even thought it not out of the question that Messi would ply his electric wares at the club. Then at the weekend, they stuttered into fifth place in Serie A

Aquilani’s sass mouth earns him a decking

Instead of helping their side lose 1-0 to Juventus this weekend, Christian Panucci and Alberto Aquilani warmed the Roma bench. At training yesterday, Panucci was telling teammate Philippe Mexes about a new tattoo he was planning, when Aquilani interrupted with one of the wittiest comments ever to fall from a footballer’s lips:

“Maybe you should get a tattoo of yourself sitting on the bench in Torino.”

Instead of firing back a witty retort, or pointing out that Alberto was also on the bench at the weekend, Panucci resolved the situation with fisticuffs, and three teammates had to pull him off of his sharp-tongued teammate.
