Do Juventus actually have a fecking clue what they're doing with half their players?

 

Yes as long as they are prepared to accept our offer of £4m payable monthly over 5 years.

 

I'm only guessing here but behind the scenes the transfer negotiations are not as messy as they appear in the media....

Probably something like this...

Gino makes as approach for the player
- media say its on
- media say its off
- media say club don't want to sell
- media say its on
- media say player doesn't want to leave
- media say its on
- media say its off
Gino completes the deal

 

Is Lemina the mysterious "unnamed target"?

 

Lemina is the Box to Box midfielder we are looking for - not the CAM

 

No. It is illegal not to name your child in Gabon.

 

Neither of my children are called In Gabon. Hope i don't get caught

 

Box to Box sounds like a lesbian sex position. An offshoot of the scissor movement.

Shame Berghuis left as Im sure he would have welcomed the addition.

 

Are you saying Berghuis is a lesbian?

Possibly the best piece of ITK info we've had on here for some time.
Of course, I'll only fully believe it if you provide photographic stills and HD video footage of him 'in action' with another lesbian.

I can't believe we let him go now.

 

Schalke have reportedly bit 23million euros for Mr Lemony

 

Berghuis and Forestieri used to be a couple.

Ill PM you the pics as they are too explicit to post publicly.

 

I read that too and my first thought was where the fxck would Schalke get that sort of money to blow on a realative unknown

 

Apparently Reports from [SKY] Germany are saying that is nonsense.... link

I suspect that story is to drive up the price for us.

Just speculation but I'm convinced that we are trying to wrap up a deal for both Lemina & Pereyra.
Pereyra is agreed - we're just trying to work out the Lemina piece.

 

My thought exactly. You'd think they'd have come up with a more credible club than Schalke though!

 

Hope you're right but really don't see it. Too much noise saying P wants to stay, we haven't met their fee plus of course others are interested inc wet spam who can offer European football of a sorts.
Less excited about Lemina and the asking price seems crazy. Really hope you are right though.

 

Off Man City and the Leroy Sane deal

 

If Juventus want to sell Pereyra then he knows he's going and is only looking for more wages or the story is made up for click bait purposes.

 

Schalke just sold Sané to ManC for £37m and last season sold Draxler for near £30m. They've got some wonga.

 

They did spend around 30m on Breel Embolo although As you pointed out they still have budget..

 

From today's Telegraph........


Watford to outbid Arsenal to sign Mario Lemina?
Sorry, what?

In a remarkable turn of events, good old Watford are flexing their financial clout and could put Arsenal to shame here, as they appear to have outbid the North London club for the signature of Mario Lemina, according to the Mirror.

Reports over the weekend claimed that Arsenal had seen a €16m (£13.8m)rejected by Juventus for the Gabon international, but it seems that Watford have blown them out of the water with a €20m (£17.3m)offer.

 

Suarez and Doucouré out, Lemina and Pereyra in?

 

If we lose out to them we'll just have to Schalke it up to experience.

 

I could be wrong but I think the papers have got their wires crossed confusing Lemina for Pereya.

I doubt we'd bid £17m for Lemina, that's a little rich even for us.

 

Would be funny to outbid Arsenal though.

 

Very!

 

Outbidding arsenal is really not difficult. Their owners are only interested in cash and profits and other than the exceptions of Sanchez and Ozil always bid low on the basis there's no competition and they can offer champs league. Will finish outside the top 4 this season.

 

Not a bad deal but let's make sure we get them signed up before we release our two.

 

Turned us down per Wdsport.

 

Saw a similar article to this but I think the mirror. Pretty much the same article except they go on to say that Lemina is thought to have rejected us.

Hopefully Pereyra and Lemina are good mates and we end up with both.... Or neither.

Edit: too slow

 

Probably turned us down in the hope Arsenal come back with a better offer. If they don't...

 

never heard of him, any good? Then again, I've never heard of pereyra either. Who's better?

 

Why would we sell Doucoure ?

And Lemina is wanted by Arsenal and Leicester, so I dont think thats going to happen.

 

For us, right now, Pereyra would be significantly more of an improvement IMO.

Juve fans rate Lemina much higher if my expert twitter scouring is anything to go by; many are happy for Pereyra to go as he's taking a squad place. I would be significantly more surprised if we landed Lemina, though I do think it's a good buy.

 

Not saying we should or will but it's strange that he was left out at the weekend after playing a big part in pre-season. If he wasn't suspended and the bid from Monaco is all true then you have to wonder.
