useless Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 I wouldn't be all that surprised if this Italian keeper is back up. We may not be paying the full £4m being reported until his performance levels reach certain criterias. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 But it probably won't be anywhere near five million until he meets certain criterias. like caps for Italy, promotion and so on. I myself would be surprised if he's being brought in as first choice. Think we'll still go for the Watford keeper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Demitri_C Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 Might not be a done deal Quote Aston Villa are looking to sign a new goalkeeper this summer. According to a report in the Daily Mail, Pierluigi Gollini is unconvinced about a potential move to Aston Villa. Gollini, who currently plays for Verona, is a transfer target for Roberto Di Matteo - but the deal could be a difficult one to force through. Although Villa have made a £3 million offer for the 21-year-old, he is reportedly unsure over whether a move to the Championship would benefit him. Gollini made 27 appearances in Serie A last season, and apparently feels that staying in his homeland will be better for his development. Villa, therefore, could be forced to look elsewhere as they look to bring in a new goalkeeper this summer. Brad Guzan and Mark Bunn both failed to convince with their performances for the Midlands side last campaign, leaving Di Matteo wanting to sign a new number one. If Gollini does reject the chance to move to Villa, the Claret and Blues are expected to make a move for Costel Pantilimon. Pantilimon is currently playing for Watford, and he is expected to be available for transfer this summer. SuperClick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 I hadn't realised he played 27 times last year, think I was getting him mixed up with another one of the keepers we've been linked with. In that case he probably wouldn't come here to sit on the bench. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully if he was a trainee at Utd his English will be good, the youngsters that come over when they are teenagers often end up speaking better English than our homegrown lot. You wot bruv? innit!

But its a big ask for 21 year old overseas keeper to come in and hit the ground running IMO. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted July 5, 2016 Moderator Share Posted July 5, 2016 I agree hippo. I know nothing about him, and the price suggests first choice, but he's only 21 and that would be my concern with any keeper. Hopefully his time with United means he won't be completely unfamiliar with the English 'way'. But hey, let's see what happens. I'll try and enjoy the ride no matter what 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

romavillan Posted July 5, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted July 5, 2016 Not seen him in the flesh but seen him on the telly, didn't scream out top class keeper but he's well regarded down here. Price I think inflated by it being an english club, I very much doubt Verona would have got €5m for him had he gone to another italian club. This says it's only a step away, just sorting out the details Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
