I may be wrong but I'm pretty sure Claudio wanted Mendy and Inler, and Walsh wanted Aranguiz and Kante. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

City and Villa both agreed a deal with Nantes for £8m and the decision was left to the player. He chose Villa who were relegated. We instead signed N'Golo and rest is history. 8 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure there is many more who have made similar poor choices when signing for other clubs instead of us. Would make an interesting thread actually.

The league isn’t played at the same intensity, as the climate doesn’t allow it. So a slower game suits certain players that aren’t as athletic but technically sound. Ghezzel was a great example of this. Look at players going the other way and you’ll see. Lukaku, Pogba, Cuadrado, Suso, Luis Alberto, Shevchenko, Higuain, Sczecsny. Even compared to the Bundasliga, the likes of Ribery went to Italy for a retirement cheque. It isn’t the special force it once was. Certain leagues suit certain players and you'll never know until they play in said league. Every league has hits just as they have flops. Just look at Messi. Point being, you can't judge a player from the league they play in and unless you're looking at the likes of Ronaldo and Mbappe, every play is a risk and it baffles me how people assume going to a certain league is a bad career decision. Annoys me even. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LFox99 Posted 7 June 2022 Share Posted 7 June 2022 (edited) Noa #Lang is very close to #Milan : five-year agreement reached with the player at ca. € 3M / year. With #ClubBrugge you can close at approx. € 20M. The dutch attacker strongly wants Milan Surely with potentially Berardi coming in as well this all would severely limit CDKs minutes at Milan?

A few Serie A clubs are looking at Berardi, I wouldn’t bank on Berardi going to Milan just yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially now with the Belgian camp, the Youri hug and the video where out of 25 players its the 3 Leicester lads and CDK they chose to play cards with. That Ekrem Konur guy just posted something about Milan having put an offer in but after his tweet today saying we'd listen to offers for Fofana starting at 50m, I've banished him to Seanfromenderby's corner in my mind. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
An Sionnach Posted 9 June 2022 Share Posted 9 June 2022 Hope he is not this year's Madueke. The main question is , he has never played at our level of intensity and that has caused problems for Soumaré who don't forget was a starter for the French champions.

Seriously though it is a big step up from the Belgian League. If he comes I want to see him get stuck in even if he picks up a few cards . We need attitude.
