An Sionnach Posted 28 June 2021 Share Posted 28 June 2021 Why do we discuss a player who would cost £40 million plus , even if he was prepared to leave Italy , which he isn't. Matheus Pereira is the achievable player. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matheus Pereira is the achievable player. It was in € euros I.e. £34 million. I'm sure we could haggle that down further. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How much would Trincoa cost and what are your odds? I know you mentioned another guy a while ago but I can't remember! I'm going off of this deal given his age mainly amongst other things.

enmac Posted 28 June 2021 Share Posted 28 June 2021 Too old, especially for that money. Would rather get Embolo, who can apparently play right wing. Cheaper and younger. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slymunn Posted 29 June 2021 Share Posted 29 June 2021 Graziano Pelle was the last good italian in the Premier league for me. Ogbonna is solid enough too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And how many have failed? In general there haven’t been many Italian players move to the PL in recent years, in my lifetime I can think of plenty of successes, many already mentioned. Don’t think his nationality is relevant anyway, it’s down to his personality and his new environment as to whether he will adapt or not. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those who have been a notable success: Zola Vialli Jorginho Ravanelli for a season Eranio Di Canio Carbone Di Matteo Balotelli (early part of his Man City career) I suppose looking at those, the overwhelming majority were experienced and quality players rather than unproven highly rated youngsters, so in that case Berardi stands a much better chance but at £40m I'd really rather look elsewhere. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Criggers Posted 29 June 2021 Share Posted 29 June 2021 I’d probably say Cudicini did alright at Chelski. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suffolk fox Posted 29 June 2021 Share Posted 29 June 2021 Everyone is forgetting Mancini. Turned up in an Armani suit when he signed never took it off either when he played. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coolhandfox Posted 29 June 2021 Share Posted 29 June 2021 I don't see us paying 40m, if we have already spent 40m odd on Daka and Soumare. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Babylon Posted 30 June 2021 Popular Post Share Posted 30 June 2021 Wake me up... we finished 5th two seasons running, won the FA Cup, Gareth is shithousing us to European glory, We've just signed a highly rated player and we're "leading the way" in signing an Italian International player under the noses of AC Milan. Remember when Carl Court on a free was a "coup". 22 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MILAN - In view of the great return to the Champions League, Milan is thinking of a heavy restyling for its attacking department. First of all we need a profile that can exalt, and exalt, in the right lane (Samu Castillejo is now saying goodbye) as well as guaranteeing an important contribution in terms of assists and goals. Practically the identikit of Domenico Berardi, protagonist of a season to remember with Sassuolo and also of a European in which Roberto Mancini, so far, has awarded him the degrees of blue holder. The possible operation is very difficult, but as the market teaches, nothing is impossible. Sheva to the quarters, the compliments of Ambrosini Pioli has been following Berardi for some time The Rossoneri coach has been "courting" the Calabrian winger for some time, ever since he sat on the Fiorentina bench. Berardi, for the coach, reflects the perfect characteristics in the right lane and would give more offensive weight. His history with Sassuolo now seems to be running out, given that in addition to Milan (and Inter) Berardi is also followed in the Premier League, with Leicester leading the way. In addition, the attacker has a particular "relationship" with the Rossoneri: Berardi al Diavolo has scored 9 goals (with 4 assists) in 15 games. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know 2016 changed everything, our standing, the perception of Leicester abroad; but having been watching / supporting the team since 1962 it’s not something that’s easy to get use to! I accept you younger lads sort of take it for granted, but for me it’s really emotional having seen the relegations, financial worries, poor players, poor managers and countless disappointments, punctuated obviously by some great moments. This is the greatest period in the clubs history and we are so lucky to be witnessing it. 9 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't disagree with you in general terms but on these specific rumours I've yet to see a credible source and Fab said a couple of weeks ago that we weren't in for Gosens, even before his stock rose in the Euros.
