ealingfox Posted 4 January 2017 Posted 4 January 2017 http://www.italianfootballdaily.com/leicester-city-meets-gabbiadini-details/ Shit source but there you are. Leicester City meets for Gabbiadini: The Details The Italy striker’s future is anybody’s guess right now. Manolo Gabbiadini’s future is still uncertain. The Napoli striker who in December seemed to be just a step away from signing with Wolfsburg, is still with the Partenopei at the start of the window. According to PremiumSport, it is still more likely that Gabbiadini will leave Italy, the question is to where. Claudio Ranieri’s Leicester City have thrown their hat in the ring for Manolo after a whole host of other English clubs have announced their interest. Everton has been the most active in the pursuit, but it seems those links have cooled off for now. The Foxes have conducted a survey for Gabbiadini and have asked De Laurentiis for his asking price, which remains consistent at €20 million. With the signing of Leonardo Pavoletti on the opening day of the transfer window, and Arek Milik a few weeks out from recovering from his knee injury, it seems Gabbiadini’s time in Naples is swiftly coming to an end.
StanSP Posted 4 January 2017 Posted 4 January 2017 Yep, would be happy with that. From the little I've seen of his little playing time at Napoli, I've liked him. Played second-fiddle to Higuain last season so wasn't much to go on. 20m Euros bit steep but in this day and age probably not that bad.
VLC86 Posted 4 January 2017 Posted 4 January 2017 Must be about 50 since his Derby days but always scored, Gerrimin I say.
l444ry Posted 4 January 2017 Posted 4 January 2017 Leave well alone. Good left foot and can finish but goes absent too often. Never worth £25millio. Doesn't work hard enough so I'm not convinced he'd fit into the City ethic.
MPH Posted 4 January 2017 Posted 4 January 2017 We have an Italian head of recruitment now as well as an Italian manager so its no surprise to see us linked with more Italian players.

MC Prussian Posted 4 January 2017 Posted 4 January 2017 Can play as a centre-forward and even in a CAM role. His shots from distance ought to be insane. The type of player we need up front to add alternatives to Shinji. Mahrez seems wasted in the centre.

l444ry Posted 4 January 2017 Posted 4 January 2017 Yes, he can finish but not very often. I'm sad as all Napoli fans are that it hasn't worked out for him but ADL is hoping to cash in in on a "failure".
Guest Chocolate Teapot Posted 4 January 2017 Posted 4 January 2017 His agent hawking him around - he's literally been linked with every mid table PL club going....
sylofox Posted 4 January 2017 Posted 4 January 2017 Before I watch the you tube. Has he got a big nose can't sing and carrying more timber than a log cabin?

AKCJ Posted 4 January 2017 Posted 4 January 2017 Nah you're alright. Ilicic is who we ought to be spending 20m on.
ealingfox Posted 4 January 2017 Author Posted 4 January 2017 Gotta be honest reading his wikipedia he sounds pretty average. That's before factoring in the fact almost all players that sign from Serie A are doggo here.
cc_star Posted 4 January 2017 Posted 4 January 2017 Thought it said Marco Gabbiadini He must be getting on
Bluearmyfox28 Posted 4 January 2017 Posted 4 January 2017 Never seen the guy play. I wish we would make a move for Luan though. Whatever club eventually makes a move for him he will be a huge success.

He's definitely Spanish... but to back up your theory a little he spent 5 years at Fiorentina, so is probably very clued up on Italy and its prospects.
