You are so weird man.

Sneaky. Could see this being feasible, as we were still a bit short of the money they asked for with the amount of money we had guaranteed. Provided the percentage isn't crazy, and is based on profits only, they should be able to come to some agreement.

Okay, well maybe next time watch the player a bit more or look further into these underlying stats you love so much, before accusing me of just rating him because he's got a Nigerian name.

Interesting. So you've gone from saying you'd not seen much of him, and he was just super quick, with no ball control, to now saying Howe can make him world class. Okay buddy

Hmmmm ... oh really?!

Lies. Just took a quick look at the Bruno thread, and it was the same old pants pissing about other clubs coming in for him, not getting deals over the line and taking too long, him not wanting to join and no chance the bid would be accepted. Pretty certain it was the same for all the other players you mentioned. It's always the same thing on here when it comes to transfers. Always.

This game man

Hakimi man. My God.

Pacho red card. Awful challenge.

Haven't really seen him play, but the below reads very well. https://breakingthelines.com/player-analysis/amir-richardson-fiorentinas-new-midfield-metronome/ One of my biggest concerns is who can step in for Tonali when he needs a rest or if he gets injured. We don't really have anyone else with the legs, energy and defensive nous to protect the back line in the same way. This guy seems like he'd do nicely.

Pretty sure there'll be certain things they'll look for during the medical too, to see if there is any potential for longer term problems with these injuries.

The fee from Atalanta's side has always been around £40 million, which is already a great starting point. If we've gone in at £30 million, it likely gets done for around £35 million perhaps with some add ons. Would be a pretty incredible signing at that fee, considering how highly rated he is and what his potential could be.

So you don't think he has been involved in any of the discussions regarding what to bid and when? And he has just come back from holiday, and told off his nephew and Nickson because they have been moving too slow? Come on man.

Yeah, he would have definitely been in communication with his nephew and Nickson for sure.

Yeah, can just imagine him coming back back from his holiday, looking himself in the mirror and shouting at himself

Okay, that's fair enough. And even then, if there are others that won't be convinced until he puts in performances for the club, that's perfectly fine too! Nothing wrong with that either.

How am I arguing? Just said we won't know until the games are played! What on Earth?! There's been so many posts with people giving reasons why they think it will work, but they're just ignored, so until the guy steps on the pitch, I just don't believe anything else is going to convince anyone that isn't sold yet

Will be interesting to see what the breakdown of that fee is, as far as guarantees and add-ons.

If you're not convinced nothing is going to change that, so there's no point going back and forth. Everything that can be said has been said already. If he comes in, once the games start being played, then we'll all see how it plays out.

That will get the deal done I reckon.

Yeah, you guys love giving good players away.
