Nicoló Barella

Yes, you’ve just proved you can go on all night about players from Italy that didn’t come to the EPL. Where do the top players in the Premier League come from? France, Spain, Germany, Scandinavia, Brazil, Argentina. The rest are exceptions that prove the rule. Italians miss Nonna’s home cooking.
On that we agree...
 
The first question for any top player we are linked with is do they have a release clause. If the answer is no the chance is pretty much none.
Kovacic and Gvardiol would dispute that.

In fact, how many of our squad have we bought through release clauses? Ake, Laporte, Haaland, Rodri and Grealish. Any others? Not that big a percentage.
 
Barella to us is the worlds most obvious transfer. Great footballer, tremendous work ethic and should seamlessly fit into how we play. It’s a no brainier for me. If the fee is 80 million euros in this market that is a snip.
