Quite. However rich you are you don’t piss 1.5m away. Otherwise you won’t be rich for long.

Tell the rags that, they've pissed about £400m away since the pisscan retired.

It all depends on how much money we've spent on teas, coffees, croissants and danishes while negotiating with them. If it's anything less than £1,500,000 then we did a great job.

Don't forget the Cornetto bill, we're dealing with Italians.

It's all coming together.

It's all coming together.

I bet both players will be relieved also when these are concluded.

Seems like a long saga that doesn't feel like it's coming to an end anytime soon. Came back from Italy last week and i spoke to 3 guys who reckon he's a top player and will do the business in the premier league.

Get him signed City!

 

[TonyM]

It's all coming together.

If they come together it'll be impressive.

Ha... mutual registration!!!! :)

I love how 1.5 million is now seen as a waste of time negotiating nowadays, put it into perspective it's a lot of money

1.5m and his wages while he was off for his summerbreak!

I was thinking about this yesterday—and it is by no means scientific—but who was last midfielder to come from Serie A (Italian or not) and have success in the Premier League?

I suppose maybe Coutinho, if you actually class him as a midfielder, but I think that is a bit of a stretch.

I am thinking of the disappointments like Pogba, Aquilani, Veron, Ramirez, Muntari, de Roon, Dossena, and so on (looking back, a lot of United and Liverpool flops there).

Coutinho is a midfielder.

zola wasn’t bad

zola wasn’t bad

More of a striker though.

 

[SebastianBlue]

Coutinho is a midfielder.

I would class him more as a CF, even when at Liverpool, but as I said, he could technically be the answer.

When it comes to CM/DMs, though...

I think most have been bad fits style wise and Pogba was simply overpriced and it's gone to his head.

David Pizarro wasn't bad and I'm still gobsmacked we didn't sign him permanently.
