9M + 3M bonuses seems to be the new price. 12M total, we'll most likely sell Immobile to them for 3.5M.

So 8M + 50% Immobile. Great transfer.

8M cash for a quality, defender. No one is saying he's the best in the world but he's a great bench option and could really compete with our three starters.

Totally agree especially if those are the numbers. Possibly true because that's what the original numbers looked like for the longest time too.

None of our central back players is fast.

Barzagli is slow. Bonucci is a bit faster but he's not fast. Chiellini is slow as well.
None of them are slow by centre-half standards, but obviously they (as most centre-halves do) spend the vast majority of their time playing against people who are quicker than them.

I'd say Bonucci is the worst one at dealing with pace because of how slow he is at turning.

He just seemed to cope better than the other defenders in Europe because he was always in the middle of the pitch and in pretty small spaces. Chiellini and Bazagli have to do the more difficult thing for a centre-half and go out to confront people in wider areas where the is more space and it is much easier for a pacey player to beat his man one-on-one.

I still remember what Oscar and Eder(Samp) did to Bonucci with quick move.He was turning like an old truck.Thats why I see him only playing in 3 CB defence, otherwise he sucks.

Honestly, I don't know anything about him so I'm not going to act all happy or pissed. Hopefully he'll do well for us and he'll get all the help he'll need with Barz, Bonucci and Chiellini

i know you greened ogbonna. i expect it to happen as well. just wanted to feel out nicky.
Nico follows me on twitter but jumped the gun yesterday. Deal almost fell off. When he said it's official and got the bananas ready, Torino upped their demands by 2m euros. We later finished the deal and OTM gave the exclusive. Now Nico owes Juve 2m.

:p
