    OH DEAR: Berlusconi unhappy at Milan for letting ElSha go

    What's Silvio Berlusconi angry about this time?

    "Roma play good football, El Shaarawy's arrival has brought a creative spark to the attack"

    Wait, there's no rage in that!

    Maybe there is. The Corriere dello Sport believes that these words are more than just a compliment, but also imply how angry the Milanese business mogul is at how the ElSha situation was handled. 

    The Rossoneri had the opportunity to bring the Azzurri international back to the San Siro in January, but opted instead to loan him to AS Roma, with the Giallorossi being offered a €13 million buy-back clause. 

    Seeing as the 23-year-old has netted 8 times in 15 Serie A games, and has generally been a breath of fresh air, it looks very likely that they'll be excercising that clause. 

    To be fair to the Rossoneri, the striker was coming off a poor spell both in Italy (where he was either injured or on the bench) and in France, where he failed to make much of a scoring contribution and eventually drove Monaco to bench him one game short of the agreed appearance total at which they'd have had to excercise his buyout clause.
