Liverpool boss Dalglish explains allowing Aquilani to join AC Milan

Liverpool boss Kenny Dalglish has explained allowing Alberto Aquilani to leave for AC Milan.

Aquilani has joined Milan on-loan with the view to signing permanently for the Italian champs.

Dalglish told Liverpoolfc.tv: "It's a great move for Alberto. He's got his wife and kid over there. It was difficult for him here.

"When he came back his pre-season training was excellent. We gave him a few games, he did well in those games. But the problem for us was trying to get him in the team. We couldn't get him in the team.

"Obviously everybody wants to play and Alberto is moving over to a fantastic football club. He goes there with the best wishes of everyone and we hope it works out for him, because he was never a problem in any way, shape or form."
