Levy will want to get him in January if the price is still right. He won't want to miss out on the opportunity to get a player of his class for pretty much half his value. Then there's the commercial appeal on top of that.

Just pray he doesn't get a move before September.

I really do feel sorry for the guy, his social media seems to have an air of disappointment in it. All the “goodbye” pics from last night are gone and he’s liking and commenting on all the Lo Celso posts. The Argy army would have been brilliant to have another recruit. Hopefully he does what he can to force it though in January.

The independent article is almost heartbreaking reading. Looks like we did everything we could to get the move done in the last 3 weeks (as did Juve and the player), but just couldn’t overcome that image rights hurdle. With PSG sniffing, I doubt they’d have the same concerns about the legalities of image rights, or paying whatever is required on that side of things too.

Juve stopped him leaving, not the image rights?

He will problably sign for someone else. Other teams knows he's available for a decent price and that he's willing to leave. It should be a no brainer for most top clubs. We had our chance. :-(

The only chance we have is if we close the deal in the next few days and he remains at Juve until the next transfer window open . But that won't happen.

So very, very close. Just hope that his desire to join us stays strong.

If we really want him we just have to keep negotiating and get it done in 19 League games time.

It’s not long, he has to refuse to move to PSG and play badly so Juve don’t wan't to keep him.

Somehow we need to focus on the positives. Two sensational signings in NDombele and GLC. Have to say I’m seriously excited about Parrott based on the pre-seasons. PD may have provided a further block to him getting chances. Let’s celebrate the positives, even though the fact I’m still on this thread proves I’m a bit gutted about what could have been.

Can we not just will this into existence? Look at how fun the LC plane ride was even though he wasn't even on it.

Let's do the same for Dybala - collectively ignore the fact he didn't sign.

I want chants. I want matchday ratings that include him. I want long-form think pieces about how he's bringing out the best of Dele.

Damn, this one hurts. This really was it.

I'm sure we will be able to make a big signing in the future, but Dybala would've been so special. Picking up a star from European power house, the Argentinian links to both the past and present... Damn....☹

Really hope they aren't able to move him this window and we can get back in when the window opens in January.

Unfortunately I think the ship may have sailed. With Neymar likely going to Madrid, I think PSG will swoop either in the next couple of weeks or in January. :( I hope not, but mega wages may be too difficult to compete against.

It is such a shit league though - like i enjoy it because its easy sunday watching cos its so shit.

I dont think he would go. He will speak to Rabiot and he will tell him how shit it is.

Then again for 300k a week id play in a shit league

I still think we could get him provided the image rights is sorted and think it will but i dont know the ins and outs i.e. when the whole court stuff comes to a conclusion - not like he can stay there for the next few years

Yeah just echoing what everyone else is saying but I'm gutted. The thought of signing him brought out the kid in me and I was buzzing about like a lunatic at work today!!

The fact that I irrationally and illogically let my mental health get affected by trivial matters like this also magnifies the drama and intensity haha...

Anyway onwards and upwards just think what we can achieve with the new young and hungry players we have signed!

P.s. Please wait til Jan PD!!

Any chance of a January deal? Can’t imagine we’ll just leave it if he doesn’t get sold. Hopefully we continue to stay in contact and work on this. Wishful ghinking I know but i’m Gutted.
