Well he was also their captain.

I wonder what language did Allegri communicate with him, cause he only arrived. He cant be fluent in italian.

He had a middle-man on The sideline that spoke for him and explained tactics. Imagine Allegri speaking french

LOL, its from his PSG mates, a good bye cake, he was there last night so they could send him off properly.

 

[Tak!]

Cute

 

[v1rtu4l]

looks like he plays "dick in a box" with that cake.

 

[X Æ A-12]

I guess it is a positive sign that he is popular amongst those he plays with

 

[Ocelot]

Think I said it before somewhere already, but the one and only thing I have against this signing is his age (and maybe wage), otherwise he's a quality player of exactly the type we needed.

he is on fairly low wages.
3,5m net/year
I thought he would come with a 5+ net wages

I agree and with Max too. Sure got onto the field rather quickly.

I'm doing #9 all the time and I'm not Italian @Ocelot

Same here.

That's surprisingly decent. Hope he integrates, it's what our midfield really lacked these past couple of years.

"Bonjour Blaise! Bring the leftovers avec you to training. Merci. Love Gonzalo"

Seems bonucci came back and also got a cake

So, if I understood correctly...

20 + 10mln bonuses

First 5mln euros will be given if he plays 80% of the matches overall (45 out of 55 per season). The other 5mln will be given if he plays 80% of the matches in the second season.

It's a three year deal, so, if he fails in one of those two then bonus disappears. I just don't understand if the first bonus is related to the first season OR all seasons he's here...

Eh?

80% of games is a really high standard, our player apps last season according to transfermarkt:

Higuain 55
Mandžukič 50
Dybala 48
Pjanič 47
Khedira 46
Cuadrado 45
Bonucci 45
A.Sandro 43
Buffon 43
Barzagli 39
Chiellini 33
D.Alves 33
Licht 30
Lemina 29
Marchisio 29
Sturaro 28
Asamoah 24
Benatia 21
Rugani 20
Pjaca 20
Rincon 19
Neto 14
Hernanes 13
Evra 13
Kean 4

We had 57 games total, so the 80% barrier is after 46 games, this means only five of our guys played >=80% of our games last season, I don't see why we can't limit Matuidi to just 45 or 44 apps

I am growing more positive about this transfer. He is like a far less impressive Pogba but doesn't make stupid decisions - he plays the percentages, puts in the hard work and doesn't make a lot of errors - keeps it simple when it doesn't need to be complicated. I remember how frustrated Allegri used to get with Pogba sometimes. Was reasonably impressed with his debut despite only training with the team for like a day.
