Leonardo Bonucci

[lancs blue]

Can't imagine us going in with a third bid if that one has been rejected!

Well, if City are prepared to pay £50m for potential in Stones then for the finished article, who knows?

Juve are gonna have an unhappy player on their hands he will earn half with them than he'd have been on with us...!

Not neccessarily. He won't be a pauper and would surely have some allegiance to Juve.

Doubt he'll be that unhappy. Waste of time this transfer, Juventus were never going to sell. If Bonucci was not Italian we may have more chances.

Bit too ambitious this transfer

I think 3.5 million a year for the next 4 years might piss him off. He won't be a pauper but he'll woman and moan - as will his agent.

I agree mate....Looks like Juve really are serious about keeping him at all costs...51mil would have made him the most expensive defender in football....think its safe to say, we'll have to move on but its clear, Pep/Txiki dont want to go into the season with our current set of starting CB's and that pretty clear....I think we should just get Stones signed and hopefully Kompany can stay healthy...

Doubt it very much. Its not always about money. Neymar could have got more €€ at PSG, but decided to stay at Barca for example.

I agree mate....They might be solid defenders in the right system but someone like Mangala should be no where near a Pep's starting 11......we seem to be struggling to find a CB so far this summer!

IBH said if the rumour is true that they have rejected the second bid we won't go back in with a third bid for him

Laporte turning us down was a big blow to our plans it seems. Hopefully we get Stones over the line at least.
