Juventus have an obligation to make the transfer permanent this summer for an undisclosed fee.

 

From the club in February so based on that he ain't coming back 

Yep, they don’t use language like that if there’s a chance of him coming back.

I don't think he's Newcastle level, and particularly not Juve level, but he's not a rubbish player either. Truth is somewhere in the middle.

 

Agree we've got a good deal here though.


Question is did we intentionally sign him for the purpose of selling him on for a fee in January for PSR reasons, or (more likely) was it due to a  offer by Juventus being too good to turn down and that he hadn't really impressed in his time here. Brilliant deal for us mind, for a signing that cost nothing in terms of transfer fee.

Never really understood the pelters this lad gets but, then again, so do players we've kept. 

 


If there was a trawl through the Chelsea Carabao Cup game thread I’m sure there would be a lot of people suggesting he replaced Burn in the starting XI.

 

He had a couple of bad games for us but he never really had a proper run in the side. I have no doubt Howe would have made him into a good signing for us, but we couldn’t look a gift horse in the mouth when Juve came in with that sort of money for him.

I think we were after him and Tosin as solid PL signings to get us through a couple of years, so any funds we did have available could have been used on a RW, hence the bid for Olise last summer.


When Olise went to Bayern and Tosin went to Chelsea, I think that’s why we switched attention to Guehi and brought in Osula.

Absolutely. Even the Juve fans picking on him is a bit tight like. It's not his fault he's not the stellar signing the fans think they're worthy of now. 

Decent player, been injured, getting games now. They are still 5th (?) 

I'm just baffled by the desire here to laugh at him. Weird
