On the shelves of PSG, Tottenham and Leicester, Timothy Castagne has very clear intentions for the rest of his future. Here is our information.

As revealed exclusively on May 12 by le10sport.com , PSG is keenly interested in Timothy Castagne ( Atalanta Bergamo ). And in the battle, we also find Tottenham and Leicester , two English clubs with solid arguments: the first to José Mourinho , the second should play in the next Champions League. But for the 24-year-old Belgian side, things are very clear: nothing will happen before the end of the Serie A season.

Castagne wants to talk to coaches

According to our information, Timothy Castagne and his representatives want to take their time. Concentrated on the end of the season for Atalanta Bergamo , third in Serie A and quarter-finalist in the Champions League (happy luck, Castagne will cross the path of… PSG !), The right side wishes to discuss with the three coaches interested in his come after the current season. Thomas Tuchel , José Mourinho and Brendan Rodgers will thus be asked to discuss with the Belgian international and will have the opportunity to convince him. As a reminder, Timothy Castagne has only one year of contract with theAtalanta Bergamo , who also hopes to be able to extend it…

HT at the game...
Completely sold on Castagne just on this 45 min.
He looks so calm and good on ball. Always gets into good positions. Doesnt feel positionally tied to the wing. If required, he passes and moves infield to get the return ball. Couple of times, has shown the turn of pace.

I really hope we get him - Even though he is playing kind of wing back, way Jose is playing Aurier so far up top, Castagne would suit that perfectly. I see him not wasting many chances and also getting into scoring positions from back stick

He looks really nice. Flexibility to play on either side would really help us given our lack of funds too.

Hopefully he doesn’t like champions league

Rock solid on the left and he’s two-footed which has really helped his unpredictability. Pushed cuadrado back all half. I still think he lacks a bit of dynamism, and in Italy it’s really tough to gauge a players athletic ability and stamina, but what we do know is he will be tactically flexible and astute, gasperini’s tactics require just that, especially in the wing backs. On a side note, papu Gomez is world class, no one can tell me different, he’s on a whole other level, so so elusive and creative, fits serie a perfectly

He crosses the ball well too. Or smartly should I say. One cross he shifted onto his right and played a quality curling cross that needed a flick on, then he got to the byline and cut one back with power trying to pick the attacker out.

Compare that to Aurier and Davies who's crossing is a lot more 'hopeful'.

Him and Aarons would completely change the dynamic

On Gomez - yes. What a player - shame he is already 32.

I hope we dont sign Aarons - he is not a good defensive RB. He has made so many defensive mistakes - it cant be ignored.
Ajax have Tagliafico on potential sell list. It would be wonderful to have a fullback options of Tagliafico, Castagne,Davies, Tanganga

I was thinking more from an attacking perspective. We need a full back who can recover quicker. Is he making those mistakes because of the system? He's also very very young. But I get your points

It’s almost impossible to tell with Aarons now.
Is he making mistakes because of the tactics?
Has he lost confidence because the team keep losing week in week out?
Has he been found out at this level?
Edit* Has his head been turned because he knows he’s leaving?- per ITK in the Aarons thread

Well have to rely on the judgements of our scouts.
He’s not a quick fix, for sure.

I think we would have to go for both.
But only Aarons once we’ve shifted aurier. Castagne first- he could come in and improve the team.
I get the impression he’s a stronger, faster Trippier.
Whereas aurier is a slower, riskier Walker
 

Who’s our next manager?

Like this link, firstly as the media links are all in our problem areas which suggests we are actively trying to fix our biggest areas of concern. Secondly because I do rate Castagne when budgets are going to be tight having an option to support us in two positions seems sensible.

However my preference would still be Aaron's even though I think the chances are slim.

We have been linked with three highly rated players , Aarons,Godfrey and Lewis, all part of Norwich’s back four.Ironic that Norwich leak so many goals.

That's mostly down to Norwich's open expansive play. They also have very little in terms of covering that defence.

All these players have qualities that would suit a different style and would benefit from defensive coaching.

Overall a good game for Castagne. Shame, Juve getting 2 silly penalties their way and drawing the game.

Zapata (no9) - really looks good. Very strong & good hold up play & finished the first goal well.

Also other area of interest for us is DM. I thought Adrian Temeze came on as sub for Atalanta (on loan from Nice) and won good number of balls.

Keep in mind Atalanta will have CL football next season we will not. They are a very good team, think it would be hard to raid all their players. We can go Castagne seeing as he plays in rotation there, his contract is running down and he wants to play in the PL.
