jonthefox Posted 2 August 2020 Posted 2 August 2020 He was the one who tested positive for coronavirus wasn't he.
LCFC1996 Posted 2 August 2020 Posted 2 August 2020 Looked good when he was on loan at Empoli, haven't kept up with Serie A the last couple years so can't comment on how he's been since then
Finnegan Posted 2 August 2020 Posted 2 August 2020 He's honestly pretty average and at 25m you'd expect us to have our eyes on starting him, that's not squad player money. To be honest, it's a lot of money for any CB even in 2020. It's important you go and read what the Juventus fans say about him because he's pretty much universally pegged as shit by them. He was the next big thing when he was 20 and he's just not developed, like a defensive Demarai Gray. Don't make the mistake yall did when we signed Rachid Ghezzal and dismiss the fans of his current and former clubs, assuming you know more just out of blind optimism. 1
Vindaloo FOX Posted 2 August 2020 Posted 2 August 2020 well worth another post from me. Get her in !!!

Grebfromgrebland Posted 2 August 2020 Posted 2 August 2020 (edited) Be careful of what other fans are saying. If anyone looked our forum is there a single player that anyone likes or is any good? Edited 2 August 2020 by Grebfromgrebland 2
jmono84 Posted 2 August 2020 Posted 2 August 2020 From that vid he looks to have all the qualities of a good ball playing centre half. Looks tall and wins a few headers and has a fair bit of pace for a cb. But I understand it’s a highlights video. this is the type of guy we normally get who has a big point to prove and does well for us but £25mill will come with some pressure on him to perform! I would be excited if it was a backup signing at a lot less money! if the £25m fee is to believed I can’t help get wound up thinking Juve are right cheeky feckers!!

Gerard Posted 2 August 2020 Posted 2 August 2020 3 hours ago, JimmyC74 said: Apparently the lad has been awful this season according to journos who follow Italian football. Demiral would be ideal but Juve don’t want to sell + more realistic we would look at Dunk or Tarkowski. Juventus have been desperate trying to punt Rugani for a while now. He was a bit of player in his early 20's but done nothing of note for a few years. It will be a mug club that picks him up and hopefully that isn't us. 2
Lambert09 Posted 2 August 2020 Posted 2 August 2020 Theres no upside to that supposed deal. Im not questioning his quality in terms of being a back up (although perhaps I should) but you dont spend 25m on a back up. Is he an upgrade on vestergard and bennett, probably, is he going to push JE and CS for a spot... almost certainly not. Just got to hope this is recycled nonsense

Popular Post Tielemans63 Posted 2 August 2020 Popular Post Posted 2 August 2020 I hope we get this one over the line and then we'd be one step closer to forming the dream centre half pairing of Rugani and Vestergaard. For just £25m each too. Exciting times. 1 7
Slab Edd Posted 2 August 2020 Posted 2 August 2020 Sometimes I think this forum suffers from memory loss "We seem to be moving away from our model of signing young players" We signed James Justin last season and this season have been linked with Brooks, McKenzie, Tsygankov etc. But yeah sure we're obviously moving away from our model
AKCJ Posted 2 August 2020 Posted 2 August 2020 (edited) Probably worth pointing out that Juve fans will have the highest standard for Centre Halves in the world. No matter how well he plays, he'll always be compared to the likes of Chiellini, Bonnuci, Barzagli, Thuram, Cannavarro etc. But if we're after a reserve defender from Juve, I really hope it's Demiral. Edited 2 August 2020 by AKCJ
NasPb Posted 2 August 2020 Author Posted 2 August 2020 I think it's possible but not probable we sign him. Juventus want 25 million and j doubt we'd pay it
Scotch Posted 2 August 2020 Posted 2 August 2020 What's worth keeping in mind when it comes to Juve fans is, the fuching hate everyone. A quick giihle search and I've saw them slate, Rugani, Matuidi, Khedira, Pjanic, Bernadearchi, Sarri...... Tbh, only Ronaldo and Dyabala seem to escape their anger.

Our fans reckon Maddison, Iheanacho and Tielemans are woeful at various times. Early on a lot thought Vardy wasn't going to cut it in the top leagues. Just saying.
