Defo like Federico Chiesa for the same position. On loan at Juve from Forentina and only 23. Would cost a pretty penny but looks a special talent and that step up in quality we need.

thabucks Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 (edited) Chiesa id say is the future of Juve and Italy so IMO zero chance of getting him... Im not sure how they play with Chiesa, Kulusevski and Bernardeschi. So maybe one of those two are more realistic targets longer term.

Would be a very good fit for us and he's simply miles better than Kienan Davis now or will ever be (and Wes). La Real would probably offer us Willian Jose instead though! Think it's fair to say that's a pass after what he's done at Wolves so far... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im not sure how they play both Chiesa, Kulusevski and Bernardeschi Bernardeschi basically warms the bench and isn't really that good (not for Juve anymore). Think Juve will be offering Douglas Costa to some prem clubs in summer as he's only played 11 games on his return to Bayern Munich this season. Would be big name signing but 30 and on the way down now plus stupid wages. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 (edited) Dortmund has a €33m buy back clause on Isak, other than that Sociedad has been quoted at €70m for Isak. Doesn't mean he'll cost that much of course but they rate him very high. Edited March 16, 2021 by sne 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thabucks Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 Another young striker I’ve been reading up on and trying to watch more of is Dusan Vlahovic from Fiorentina ... Any Serie A fans shed some more light on his abilities and potential? He appears to be a realistic option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what FM told me I would think he's their Haaland safety net, if someone goes silly with Haaland and they lose him then they activate the clause and he ends up back at dortmund 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guy they talked with regarding Dortmund said he didn't think Dortmund would buy him back but that was sometime early this season so things might have changed.

For me he needs another season to develop at Fiorentina 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thabucks Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 See Plop being linked with Berge as well as Spuds and le Arse .... But I thought he wasn’t supposed to any good nor as good as Lundstram? Strange that they want him then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaChris Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 If Real Madrid have a massive summer spending spree an ambitious loan target for us could be Vinicius Jr. Had a good game for them tonight and would be very exciting pick up for us. Perhaps Rodrygo of the two they're more likely to loan out but I haven't seen as much as him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just think that RF/RW position is crucial and a spot I’d like to see us push the boat out financially to fill. With Covid wrecking so many clubs finances in France, Spain and Italy, I think this summer might bring a few players within reach we wouldn’t otherwise get near in normal times.

Right Wing is not a position that we will be signing a player in the summer, we just signed Traore who is still settling into the team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kinda bittersweet he’s forgotten how to play football and suffers Titus Brambilus-itis ... Richardwrightitis... kierandyeritis... the older you get the shitter you become... Randomly & weirdly they all started Out at Ipswich Town FC and were amazing in their early days!
