Roma really need to get the hint - all the offers are loan with option (maybe due to his medical history) and they're wanting an obligation. If they're not careful they'll be paying for him to play in the reserves (if at all).

They’ll get desperate.

Loans is great news. We never used to do them and were then stuck with nkoudou & Janssen, Ndombele & Lo Celso etc. It’s made it much easier to get rid of Gedson, Gollini if they don’t work out. I hope we continue doing loans with options.
Lo Celso was originally a loan. We all thought we’d played a blinder buying him permanently a window early for a slight discount. Joke was on us.

Anyone feel sorry for him?

Nah, me neither :whistle:
I do, Roma are ready to let him go and let him investigate options of which he chooses one with a possible backup then Bournemouth wave money and Roma force him to make that move. He doesn't want to, I don't blame him, and they set the ultras on him, that's effectively what they did with their inflationary language, the ultras break into his house and attack him, threatening him with a knife and Roma back them up with an effective banishment.
Yes I'd say I feel some sympathy for him.

Rome transfer market, photo-finish poker for Zaniolo: one out in the Premier League​

From now until tonight we will discover the future of Nicolò Zaniolo , who left the capital and was not seen in Trigoria this morning. While the background on Bournemouth's offer appears, accepted by the footballer but rejected by the English club , the next few hours will be decisive for the last minute assault. Enrico Camelio spoke in these minutes on the future of the number 22, on the live Twich of TV PLAY on Calciomercato.it .

Here are the latest on Zaniolo's future, a poker of suitors appears for the number 22: “ At the moment there are four teams on Zaniolo's trail: Leipzig, Everton, Milan and Tottenham. ” The stumbling block remains in the formula: “ If Roma were to accept a onerous loan with the right to buy in June, he would leave. ” Finally, the double signal from the English championship: “ Let's remember that in England the market closes at midnight. The Leeds track is not available to me .”

Straight after we had some ITK saying the door was still open and that don't rule out a late move but sine then its been completely dead. There's maybe some small small chance we move if we cant get Hincapie but i think its more likely Hincapie or bust.
I still think this could be a Levy last minute deadline Day special deal!

I find the whole thing baffling, Conte seemingly loves the player, he's now completely burned his bridges at Roma and they need to move him on and make a buck - so why not take a punt!??

Very very weird situation. It's so quiet. The guy's there for the taking.

We keep saying that but I can't actually remember the last time we did a really late deal. I'd love this to happen personally, I think he's potentially a great little player for us.

Zaniolo to Leeds looks reliant on Harrison to Leicester happening, which now appears to be off.

Got to think Roma will be offering Zaniolo about for silly money at this point, someone will surely bite.

No doubt he ends up at Shakhtar or Fenerbahce or St Mirren.

Fuck sake, I've just seen Arsenal are signing Jorginho and United are signing Sabitzer.

Yeah sorry but coming out of this window with just Danjuma and Porro in isn't good enough at this point.

I genuinely wouldn't want either of them.
