Gianluigi Donnarumma | Done deal according to Romano

[yankblue]

See above.

There are 2 italian nationals he has managed.

Clearly everyone is forgetting Giuseppe DiPizza from the youth team

 

[Coatigan]

Well he may have managed them but he's not played them in any games.

No he has. Well one of them, the other there is still time. It is a different type of technicality.

At City? You sure?

 

[p.taker]

Are we talking about Mario because he never coached Mario

Edit: Don't tell me we are counting Julian

Is one of them Chelsea’s current Manager?

 

[BimboBob]

Not sure how cheap he will be, reports claim PSG want anything from 35m to 50m. Euros, and I do expect him to go for less than that. But still even at the lower end, not really 'cheap'.

Cheaper than Trafford who is still a work in progress.

Look at the fees for other goalies in recent years, all around the 50m mark.

If so that's slightly different lol

Pretty sure someone is having a play with dual nationals (think Bettinelli)

Ye me also ha.

He's gone quiet he's re checking his info haha

 

[Utter bobbins]

Why on Earth are we signing yet another goalkeeper when we need a proper right back? What was the point in buying Trafford?

Yawn

Could be mate!

Cherki is eligible to play for France, Algeria and Italy - he’s not Italian, clearly, so it’s a bit of a stretch - but if we’re being very generous with our interpretations, you could make an argument for him.

 

[Damocles]

Just waiting for the 'rags join the race' media bollocks then it'll be done and dusted for us.

This feels nailed on to United but apparently it's extremely close.

Cherki was eligible to play for Algeria and Italy ;)

Feels like a travesty that Pep never managed Pirlo.

 

[Stoned Rose]

Stefan Borson reporting he wants €15mil net, or 400k a week. Fucking ridiculous, massively overrated player, stupid wages and not a massive improvement over what we have.

Stefan’s celebrity has gone to his head. He’s decent on Talksport but those demands are a liberty.

 

[Nicholas van Whatsisface]

Quite right!

 

[thomas1307]

if we didnt already have trafford signed, i think a lot more would be well on board with this.

yeah i understand that

 

[Stoned Rose]

He’s not.


That’s much better. Still don’t think we need him but that’s more palatable.

This will get the green light now city know you find it palatable.

And I hear he’s no good with his feet…

Yep.. Alvarez and Bettinelli are both Ialian nationals, dual nationality

Pub quiz technicality.

Messi and Echeverri both could have had italian passports too, had they chosen to.
