I'm sure he's a player Paratici likes but I can't see Conte trusting a 19 year old foreign player to be one of 6 CB options in a season with a schedule as hectic as this. If we're signing this guy he will be in the Sarr, Gil, Udogie mould and we'll be loaning him out.

Clearly we'll be wanting 6 centre backs though so the question will be what is happening with Japhet?

Assume it’s West Ham. They seem to have built their entire window on players initially linked to us.

He plucked Bastoni out of relative obscurity when he was like 21 and got him in the team.

Every club says this about every other club. Can't stand this, players are linked to everyone.

Can't imagine a Ukrainian going to play for a club that chant "Roman Abramovich".

 

[taidgh]

How come? We've been linked to him by several Toer 1 journos over summer

Just a feeling. I get the sense from what we've been told by ITK and Conte, himself, that we're after a different (higher) profile CB. Admittedly I don't know a lot about this guy, and we could well get him. I just get the feeling he's more Fulham/Palace level than what we want.

It never ceases to amaze me what a footballer (or anyone for that matter) turns a blind eye to when a big wedge of cash is waved in front of them

 

[Adam Zampa]

Didn’t this guy say Malinovskyi was done?

No, he just hinted at it being a potential deal. Long before anyone else even linked him to us

Facebook shows me Newcastle fan-site posts fairly regularly for some reason, and it is just insane and depressing how easy its been for them to embrace the absolute worst dregs of humanity because they can now buy an expensive striker.

Starts for Dynamo Kiev so can’t be that close to anyone

[glacierSpurs]

So they rejected one bid and not going to entertain perhaps a second or third bid? ?

 

[jpascavitz]

If true, surprised they would turn down a bid of that much, the kid must have a ton of interest!

Also probably is the reason Tanganga is staying

Going to Bournemouth

Going to Bournemouth

We can snap him up when they go down
