Popular Post AKCJ Posted 14 June 2018 Popular Post Posted 14 June 2018 He really isn't very good. He's by no means "bad" but I don't think he improves our team and £20m can be better spent elsewhere. 5
StriderHiryu Posted 14 June 2018 Posted 14 June 2018 Why do we need this player? Our current CM options are strong, and we have depth in our choices! Seems like a waste to me. Even if Iborra left, I'd rather we gave more time to Hamza than sign an average foreign player. 3

Max Power Posted 14 June 2018 Posted 14 June 2018 He's better than King, James, Mendy and Choudhury but should we really be spending 20m on squad filler?

LCFC hub Posted 14 June 2018 Posted 14 June 2018 Im gutted we didn't go for Lemina last season tbh. The reaction of the Juve fans isn't great but you can't read too much into it, you hope at the very least we'll have scouted him sufficiently to be in for him. Am I right in thinking he would be our 1st Italian player since Mancini should he join?

I remember Atalanta fans thinking they got great money for Benalouane and CSKA fans glad to see the back of Musa as he was so flakey. I really don't want this player, Ndidi and Silva are probably our first choice next season and he certainly doesn't sound an upgrade. As things stand at the minute we have Iborra, James, Choudhury, Mendy, King and Amartey who can come in and fill that defensive central midfield role. This guy doesn't sound like an upgrade on what we have and will be another "meh" midfielder to add to the ranks. I really thought spending good money on average players would stop under Puel and we'd either sign young talent or obvious upgrades to the first XI. This guy has waste of money written all over him. 2
Ricey Posted 14 June 2018 Posted 14 June 2018 (edited) I love how everyone builds their opinion on a player based off Twitter comments. He may not have impressed at Juventus, but he was at one stage one of the most promising prospects in Italy and his style would suit us. Edited 14 June 2018 by Ricey 1
STUHILL Posted 14 June 2018 Posted 14 June 2018 I usually go by the rule of seeing what the fan's say about him and it's not good! Juventus level or not, they obviously are not impressed by him. Obviously they are on a different level to us and he has been capped for Italy, so could he be that bad? Apparently he wants to leave due to lack of game time, so I imagine he would come here for that and start alongside N'didi. Very good stamina and tackler, but passing is horrendous - being the general consensus. I am confident he will be an upgrade on James, King, Mendy and Choudarry, but maybe not by as much as we wanted. Positives are, he is just 25 and was very highly rated not so long ago. Perhaps he needs a fresh start and we can get the most out of him. Been compared to Gattuso before too...

I'd generally agree with going by what their fan's say too. I do think he will be an upgrade over James, Choudhury, Mendy, King and Amartey though. He has still had a decent amount of game time over the past few seasons, with one of the top 5 teams in Europe and with one of the best ever managers. Capped for Italy too and still only 25 and not that long ago, was being lauded as the next Gattuso. I think if we are shifting James, Mendy and King, then that will more than pay for this guy and will mean we have a better player too, by how much? That will be the question. . 1

STUHILL Posted 14 June 2018 Posted 14 June 2018 Leicester City have offered €13m for Juventus midfielder Stefano Sturaro however the Bianconeri are asking for €20m. Stefano Sturaro’s agent has warned that only ‘a high-enough figure’ would tempt Juventus into selling the midfielder. “Juventus have let me know that they have no intention of selling Stefano. A high-enough figure is needed to sign him.”
