What’s the animus with Napoli?
 
The problem with grealish isn't his playstyle. It's that he's absolutely shit at beating his man, delivering a cross or shooting. I'd absolutely love a grealish that can do those things!

It goes back to Jorginho signing for Chelsea. We believed we had a deal with Napoli only for them to negotiate a higher price with Chelsea behind our backs, when they were trying to take Sarri as manager.

The owner seems to be a knob as well and think we were also priced out of kouilably a couple of times, shame we only got Dias instead!
 
Fences can be mended in football.
A few years ago the perceived wisdom was the near impossibility of signing anyone in Raiola's stable plus the Sporting Director of BVB hating us and everything we stand for.
Not saying anything will come of this but nothing is forever in this business.

This is step 1 in the process.

I expect step 2 of bidding well below the asking price and waiting for something to happen between July and mid to late August.

Then it's on to settling for a player doing well at a mid table team and pretending there's some sort of master plan instead of it just being a mediocre signing.

Haha. Also, "Ouch" and, "Touché". Still. Sometimes it works, Haaland and so on. And we're good on FFP compared to many, which will be an organisation level target - remove us from the line of fire.

I get the impression he really has lived up to the hype so far this season. At 21 - that's scary.

Even further than that mate - they pissed us around a whole summer a while back over Cavani, eventually calling a press conference at the end of it all to announce he was staying - but mostly to take the piss out of City.

Then there was Jorginho. And then Koulibaly.

Their owner seems to delight in building his personal brand off making a big song and dance of standing up to big bad City - in a way he never bothers to with other clubs.

I’d be very surprised if we went back for more.
 
Leao and Kvara are both superb would be lucky to have either of them, I feel like Kvara is the better player all round and would fit better BUT I feel Leao is something different and maybe more of what we need, I’m so torn, whoever city would decide would be class, gonna be hard to get one!
 
Maybe Gio could have a quick word and get this lad on board.....after kidnapping the knob who runs the show over there.
 
I know he plays on the left side, but his dribbling skills remind me Luís Figo.
 
The Transfer Documentary on Sky is good. Very good in that you get to see the agents talking about Napoli.
They're trying to get Fabian Ruiz a move to PSG and they talk about how difficult Napoli are to deal with, despite their player (Ruiz) having just one year left on his deal and making it clear he wont re-sign.

I just think Txiki and Soriano will stay well clear after the Koulibaly circus.
 
A bit of scouting from me, he's already played in a wicked shot and cross. Causing all sorts of trouble for Roma
