just a weird story. like I said, he's got to go somewhere after the last week - I cant see him reconciling with Lazio. And now Juve dont want him.

I think the real question is..what will juve offer last minute? How many pennies will they attempt to force lazios hand with?

If Juve are being straight up, then he's ours on deadline day IMO, if we keep enough back to pay Lazio.

Come on, focused intent, positive outcome!

Levy time deadline day special IMO.


I think you may very well be right but he would absolutely have to be a bonus signing as we couldn't risk chasing him as a main target until deadline day with a good chance of missing out and no time to get another in.

Juventus CEO Giuseppe Marotta has insisted the club will not be signing #thfc target Keita Balde.

Marotta: "We have a competitive roster as we have important objectives."

"Keita Balde and Patrik Schick? Keita is a closed argument like is Schick."

Risky leaving it until deadline day. Need to give KB a deadline of a few hours before and have 2 or 3 backups lined up should the worst happen.

That's fairly definitive. He could be lying though I suppose.

If he's so keen to join juve rather than anyone else we should leave well alone. There's no point signing a player who comes to us seeing it as the second best option. We need players who are passionate and excited to be playing for the team.

Doesn't mean he isn't excited about playing for us, just more excited about playing for Juve. Think it's the pull of Juve more than anything which is fair enough.

We can't only sign players for whom we are first choice.

I reckon we have left well alone hence the latest itk that we ain't getting him, as far as we are concerned its over, if near deadline day Juve still aren't going in for him he and his people may decide he can't stay at Lazio and get in touch in which case we might do him a favour and give him a way out.

he is not wrong, they have costa, Bernadeschi and cuadrado, not to mention if needed dybala can play on the wing. They have pjaca and highly rated moise kean too.

Doesn't change much. Would go in line with what the ITK is saying. The issue is Balde wants Juve not that we can't do a deal with Lazio.

But what if Juve don't want him anymore? Seems like he's burnt his bridges with Lazio, so it maybe either join us or stay with them.
