At this point, do you think our Paratici connection helps or hurts us?
I'd fucking love Chiesa.

That’s a putrid front 3.
We've got to buy a right winger. I'd be fine giving Porro a shot to become one, but I'm not comfortable banking on that unknown.
Also 3/11 English players is troublesome, no? Major reason why Raya is worth the money.
TBH im not against Para at all, he is actually very good at scouting and finding players....
Plus i dont blame him too much for what happened at Juve right at the end, he was also always a Sporting / Technical Director never a Managing Director, thats not his forte, and was only and MD for the last 18 months/24 months as Beppe Morata left for Inter.... PEOPLE need to understand how and who owns Juve aka the AGNELLI family , they make the all the decisions , they have the final say in everything and full control... People need to research and know who these guys are and the power and influence they have outside of football and for more than a century too. Para was told to give a biased valuation on Juves players for the balance sheet, all would have be be agreed and signed off by the Agnellis and he was instructed to do it , remember also Para's forte and skill has been as a TD identifying the best talent and getting them for great prices.... valuation is subjective too, i think player X is worth 50M for example you say no that player is only 30M, of course within limits which they didnt go stupidly crazy on, who would ever of paid 90m for pogba and 80M on Maguire (even back then) valuations are subjective, is declan rice worth 100M hell dafuq no!!
... especially when the contract is not backed up with a release clause.... Everything that happened at Juve happened because the Agnellis were in full control , agreed to it and gave instruction to it.

Just read that we have agreed a 3 year deal for Lenglet so that’s 1 of our 2 new centrebacks .
Been so obvious for so long that this is the marketing link of the window.
There is no chance this transfer was ever going to happen.
The mistake was not buying Maddison in 2017 as an understudy to Eriksen and selling Eriksen for 80-90 million in 2018. That would have required us to have proper transition/refresh planning in place, which we obviously didn't.
The only thing i got against Maddison is that he's a big Woolwich fan, hates Spurs, and used to call Bale a schimpanzee! Other than that, i think he would be a good signing!
Sometimes these things get way out of proportion too, EG
1. do we have some interest yes
2. will we contact to find out if its do able
3. media gets a whiff paints social media left right and centre with the story
4. fans get way ahead of themselves now believe he will be their player, make formations diagrams, and they have now made this a reality in their minds
5. fans get distraught and blame the club it never happened
RINSE and REPEAT
^^^^
the above applies to im guessing another 10 clubs who tried to enquire for the same player, their fans did the same thing etc
Just depends how real it is and did it go any further than an enquiry

Oh yeah, I think it would be a fine move for him.
I can't possibly begin to hate the likes of Harry Winks (whose toenails are more Tottenham than we could dream to be) or Eric Dier and so on. Look at those who were screaming for Skippy to be a starter and who now think he's pig shit (I may have exclusively revealed this possibility a couple of years ago).
Winks, Dier, Skippy, Davidson and co are
always welcome round Casa Bill if they're passing. I'm a fine cook, there are excellent wines available, we'd have a great time.
Ain’t going nowhere unless it’s at least above £80m, probably £100m. If Bayern think they will try a Man City, get the agreement with the player then lowball it won’t work.
He quite literally started his career as a winger, so not sure it is.
Exactly the same playbook as last time.
Kane really needs a better agent if this is really what he wants...
Insert *not sure if serious* Nick Cage gif here!
He is well off the mark, we all know the only KANE that reached an agreement was CHARLIE
Looks like were getting maddison. I suppose if we ever play in New York and he scores the headline will be maddison square garden.
