I know we were looking closely at the euro u21s. I assumed that it was Meyer but that was poo pooed more than once by @JJetset but its probably likely the italian player was in that tournament
I think that's a good shout. Out of the players on my list, Marco Benassi (the Captain of Italy U21 and Torino), Jakub Jankto and Karol Linetty are the only midfielders that also played in the U21 Euros.

Worth pointing out that Jankto apparently has a £6m release clause, and has the most Scouting videos on YouTube. I think it might be him.

Edit - Also, Jankto is known for being quite a quick midfielder, and is thus more likely to be exciting in a video.

Not massively convinced about Berardi from what some people who have watched him regularly are saying on here but then again he seems like he would be a decent option from the bench if anything. If he's better than Sissoko and Nkoudou then i'm all for it.

Why do people feel the need to guess a list of 60 players every time there's a bit of itk?

Does anybody really think that jj is going to keep a name back- for whatever reason- but then tell us who it is when their name appears on a guess-list?

"I wasn't going to say anything because of important reasons, but since some random dude on a forum managed to guess the player in his list of 27, I'll confirm it and risk it leaking so we lose the player."

And why are people losing their shit over players that are just a guess?

All jj's latest itk tells us- at best- is that we might be buying someone from Italy. How about- and I know this is radical- you show a little bit of patience, and just see what happens?

Honestly, this place is like a kindergarten sometimes.

Because it's fun, and is seemingly being allowed by the mods on this occasion.

Nobody forces you to read these comments.

Why does everyone assume an Italian!
There have been several suggestions for non-italians playing in Italy.

Because, within reason, it's fun to draw up some relevant lists, share knowledge, and discuss them ? Which is appropriate given there is ITK that has been confirmed by Rob.

Nobody is expecting JJ to appear and suddenly announce the name being correctly plucked with confetti descending from the forum ceiling and bunting being brought out.

The real problem is when people don't read posts, explanations etc even when the threads aren't that long and then go off listing players from Nice in France and endlessly go on about black and white even though it has been explained and clarified on quite a few occasions

I can confirm someone's named him in this thread ;-)

We obviously have vastly different definitions of the word "fun".

Nobody forces you to read these comments.

No, but we are forced to wade through pages of guesses in order to find anything relevant or interesting. And, as was shown yesterday, the thread will be locked when the mods have had enough. But this has been done to death, every single transfer window.

Come on mate, have a pint, post some sexual banter about dwarves, and it will all be good! (y)
