Jorginho's not been that bad imo. He's been solid at the least.
Moise Kean's the most recent one. Before him, there were both Jorginho and Davide Zappacosta to Chelsea.
Don't forget, you have to be very careful with what you say nowadays because someone is bound to get upset.
Jorginho was definitely one of the best Italian players at Napoli. His transfer to Chelsea was a big deal especially since they beat Manchester City to him.That’s quite a list, I think @Dazzmondo point stands
Aquilani gets brought up so often when referring to Italian players in the prem even though it was almost 15 years ago now
Realistically he'll go to Juventus. But Juve are struggling for money, there might just be a remote chance that Sassoulo would prefer the money up front, rather than a loan with obligation or 2 fringe players or the likes.
Then again, it is Italian teams.
Arsenal also have to hope that Locatelli doesn't just prefer to play for Juventus and no other club in terms of the clubs that are interested in him.

Ya my thoughts exactly, I was like maybe I'm misremembering how recently Aquilani signed for Liverpool, but no. If you're having to go back to Aquilani to prove you're point I think you're reaching a bit
There's been quotes recently that Juve were his preferred destination, but that he would also be open to a move abroad.
Im not sure he would think as low as us mind you.
Ballotelli too.
Signed in 2010. When I said recent I meant in the last 5 years. So far the only example I've seen of a player that was highly regarded and moved to the Premier League is Jorginho, who I personally don't even think has been that bad. He underwhelmed based on the hype but it's not like Chelsea suddenly looked like a terrible team any time he was in their starting lineup. He's competing with some very good players in that Chelsea midfield.
Free transfer to Madrid next summer then
Not today.
If Mbappe has said that, which is a big if, as it stands? Which could easily mean if Psg sign another big player he'll be tempted to stay or whatever they're offering him isn't enough,
No way will he leave next year if Psg end up winning everything.

The full list in the Premier League era. Not an impressive list, many of the best date back to the 90's and others used the early 00's for retirement. 10's- many I don't even know or remember being at their clubs, mostly relegated type ones.

It is more Ronaldo, Ramsey, Bernardeschi, Rabiot not having gone yet, possibly willing to stay until their contracts run out. Allegri would be fine with keeping them all, in case (even the fringe players, namely Dragusin and Fagioli). Here it follows that Locatelli becomes redundant and Sassuolo’s sporting director needs to shop him around.
Matic was not a box-to-box midfielder.
- New meetings between Milan and Brescia to finalise Tonali's permanent transfer to Milan
- Bakayoko to Milan is more likely.
- Bakayoko rejected a contract extension from Chelsea.
- Odriozola has moved ahead of Diogo Dalot in Milan's right-back priorities (loan options).
- Brahim Diaz to AC Milan is pretty much done.
Such a weird post. Pogba is popular in every locker room he's in.
talks about "attacking and entertaining football", then hires Nuno
Levy has seen Wolves play over the last few years right? Id say Mourinho plays the most boring football, with Nuno a close 2nd. Can't wait for this to implode on them :laugh:
Avoid embassies Kylian.
All of it, to this old man's eyes.
FFS more shit in this thread! Guys could you take it to another thread please!
Also, where's @Fridge chutney !!
Also, where's @Fridge chutney !!
We laugh but that's probably not bad advice
He's one for the missing posters thread at this stage.
Thread bans and warnings are upcoming if you can’t get it together in this thread.
Wait, what?! They offered a contract extension to a guy who hasn't played for them in 3 years?
Transfer fees wise he's pretty reasonable. 40m is chump change for PL clubs. No problem in asking the question. Nothing attempted, nothing gained.Arsenal having the audacity to try to sign Locatelli
They have no idea what it is they want. Approaching coaches who all have different approaches. At least fans will now know exactly what they’re going to get with NunoWhat the feck?
Still would love to know what it is about Pogba’s choice of clothing that makes him look like ‘a ghetto gang member’?
