If nothing else, I think we could all get behind the idea of having a handsome AM called 'Niko' at the club again.

I’m out in Rome at the moment and caught up with a Roma pal of mine for dinner. He thinks Niko is a fantastic talent. Very natural. A proper footballer. But he needs to use his head on releasing the ball at the right time. That’s his failure, but he’s young. He thinks Conte could get a real tune out of him. Lots of noise on our interest out here.
Hopefully it’s moving onto Paqueta ??

Paqueta is more a FP pick fwiu.

Yeah just like we should have walked away from the Spence one

I'm sure it will get down, especially if he is the man Conte really wants. I don't sense a Inter situation with this one, hopefully...

Oh
I guess the management need to answer the following questions:
1) Is this just posturing, is this just a normal part of transfer sagas...or is there genuinely a large gap in the bid/ask spread?
2) do they want another player like him, or is it just him they want?
Ultimately we need to sell anyway, so it shouldn't affect much there, but (2) is really important. Because if they genuinely feel the squad is short, and it's more than just posturing, we might need to get on with looking elsewhere
No idea, personally
I reiterate my view that they have no intention of selling and are just dicking us about like Inter.
The only way it gets done IMO is we pay them what they want instead of trying to negotiate which they clearly have no intention of doing. This could be very costly and a risk which is questionable considering his injury record.

Move on to Paqueta or Madison and leave them to stew. And they can forget about Tanganga
No update my end on this. I don't get updates as regularly as others. Last I heard from my contact, there was a high level of confidence it was heading in the right direction and looked likely. Clearly we have stumbled across more issues. My guess is we will set a deadline for this week and if we haven't agreed anything, move on to the next target.

Death, taxes, Italian club shenanigans.
I don’t see it as a huge negative, just means we get to look at other options which hopefully FP has done. As long as he isn’t too attached to this transfer, there’s still a great outcome to be found for the AM/WF position this summer.
And it’s not like this one is dead either.

that’s fair long as we have other good targets you cant blame the club for moving on

Paqueta and testing the waters with Maddison maybe then. It’s been a good window either way.

I think it was pretty obvious the deal was off looking at his playing time, involvement and conduct with Roma’s game last night.
Didn’t at all look like a man leaving anytime soon.
Hopefully we move onto the next target quickly.

Sad, while I would have preferred Maddison on a purely personal level as I think he is a better footballer Zaniolo might have been much better suited to Conte so this deal falling through if it does is not good news.
Let’s hope we hit our second or third target on the list
