viivvaa66 Posted June 19 Share Posted June 19 8 minutes ago, Tubby said: I wouldn't be surprised if the negotiations went a bit like this: Juve: we want Doug Villa: that will be £60m, thanks Juve: how about a chubby American and some change? Villa: no thanks Juve: the chubby American and a Chelsea youth product? Villa: youth product you say? Add Soule and you've got a deal? Juve: quick, tell Di Marzio that Villa want McKennie, they won't back out then Villa: we notice you've been promoting we want McKennie. Yes, Unai Emery can make wine from water, but he can't make caviar from a cheeseburger! Juve: £20m, McKennie and Iling Jr... Villa: come back to us when you are serious. Just so you know, Monchi here knows the names of your children... and those of their unborn children. Juve: ok, ok! £30m, Iling Jr and there is this guy that has posters of Emi Martinez on his wall. Villa: see, that was easy enough. And we'll be back in July for Soule. Unlikely, but how I wish it was so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keener window-cleaner Posted June 19 Share Posted June 19 The issue for me is that I want players Juve don't want to sell and I don't want any players Juve want to sell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Steve Posted June 19 Share Posted June 19 1 hour ago, jigen said: He was your key player. I would never have sold him. I suspect he wanted to leave - hence why he’s gotten Alisha to join him for the women’s team. No other clubs seemingly interested and Turin is closer to Switzerland and he will be a top name still in a great league. It’s less of a headache for us now as we can rebuild our squad a different way. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has given us good service and his attitude has been spot on. He rarely got injured as well It’s a shame but I’ve finally come to terms with it and it sounds like he really wants the move (which disappoints me tbh, I thought he was properly invested here and with Unai)… still feels like we’re being forced into it and underselling but oh well… best to just get it done and dusted now. Big void to fill, we need to sign some proper class… none of the names so far inspire or fit the bill… we need a new or orchestrator or metronome, that can play and perform regularly (unlike Tielemans).

It's not saying there is a definitive agreement. It says a "definitive agreement is being sought". So sorry, that means it is currently an indefinitive agreement! 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
