In shocking news this morning, at least for me, Kevin Prince Boateng was sold in just a matter of a couple hours to Bundesliga club, Schalke 04. Prince was expected to be sold at some point in the summer and rumours were flying around of what might happen to him. Eventually, the rumors died down and talks of his sale disappeared and he went on to smash in 2 goals against PSV in the Champions League preliminaries to put Milan into the group stage. Two days later, he's not even on the team anymore. Kevin was always a good player for Milan, but he was world class two seasons ago when he had Ibrahimovic leading the attack. When he's used the right way, in the right formation, Boateng can be an absolute deadly threat to any defense. It was a great move for him to make, as Germany is his home and he's always expressed his desire to go back to what he calls "the best league in the world." This move now leaves Milan with some decisions to make. Kaka has said he wants out of Madrid immediately and would love to come back to Milan, while Honda has been set to join Milan for what seems like years now. For me, I would want Milan to get Kaka now and then get Honda for free in January. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem like it'll work out that way. Kaka has extremely high wages, which Milan just simply can't afford and for the level of Kaka's play, he doesn't really deserve. Kaka is also not willing to lower his wages very much, not because of greed, but so he can still fund his charity in Brazil. It seems like a return is more likely not to happen, as Galliani has now started to really push to sign Honda right away. There's only a couple days left in the transfer window so it should all be clear very soon. In the end, it was nice Big Bang Boateng could leave on a good note.
