Ben Davies!!???
You just know AngeBall will lead to ‘TWANG!’ if we sign him!
It will for every player we buy, it’s part of the Angeball initiation
Did you not see the Euros?
You shut'chour perdy little mouth!!Ben Davies!!???
10 years... Yo show some respeck!
Clearly in a minority here but think Solanke is ready for a step up.
19 goals last season - appeared in every game. 4th highest XG90, good with his back to goal, good passer, strong, great in the air.
Think he would be an excellent fit for our system and would score a lot of goals for us.

Have read eze prefers city to us if city come calling.
Torn on Chiesa
When on it, he's top 10 in the world in his position. One of my absolute favourites in the world to watch. But he's had horrible injuries. Cruciate was years back but just niggly ones here and there since. And Angeball and the training is full on. He'd at least have Johnson and potentially Moore sharing the minute so hopefully eases him through.
But then 25m is nothing in this market. It really isn't. Especially when someone like Neto is being quoted for 60m. And when both are fit and on form, Chiesa is a much better player.
Guess we'll see what happens.

Chiesa is an excellent player. His problem is a contractual level with the club. He asked for contractual adjustments too many times, not in line with the economic recovery of the club which lost a lot of money by skipping the year in CL. Since he expires in 2025 and does not have the proposed figures, Juventus wants to sell him for €20/30 million.
He’s also capable of creating his own goals with tricks and flicks around the area. He is a good player. Mighty dear though.
When he is well it is devastating: he has recovered from the bad injury. As written, the problem with Juventus is the renewal. Without renewal (expires in 2025) it is better to leave now and possibly abroad.
So you think this might be happening?
It was just my list of people we’ve been linked with and, yes it was suggested Kane might come back at some stage. Obviously I would have the old Kane back over any of the others but I thought he was terrible in the Euros so I think we need to look at new younger players. I see I forgot Isak. I don’t think Solanke is much cop
Hiya. As a Juve fan, what would you say his level is post-injuries, if 100% was pre-injury? 80%, 90%?
I don’t trust him to deliver either.
Juventus is making a wall: he and Huijdsen together with Rugani, McKennie, De Sciglio have been left in Turin while the team trains at the Adidas center in Germany.
Juventus invested a lot in him and waited for him in his recovery. I would have expected gratitude. Among other things, he had bet on the European Championship to promote himself... it went badly so now he has a gun without ammunition...
Every player in the world would wouldn’t they?
I saw him laugh at things he did before. He seems to have recovered: he is a good boy, calm and has just gotten married. His exaggerated demand for money just makes me angry.
They want him out. Paratici surely is pushing him to us?

Thiago #Motta on Federico #Chiesa : "For now he's a #Juventus player, then we'll see...".
The #Juventus plan does not change: both the company and the manager have approved Chiesa's exit in this transfer session.
Juve wants Chiesa to leave the club to profit from it.
