    He's playing pretty well for Sassuolo. What do you think of him?
    So far so good. One of the best in Serie B. Was doing well at camp this summer, can only get better. Might as well sign his teammate Berardi while were at it. :D

    I know some people are going to get upset for me saying this but I actually think Gabbiadini has more potential than Immobile and I think he'd be more useful to us right now than Ciro. I'd hate to lose Immobile to Palermo, I hope we can keep both but if we had to recall one this transfer window I hope its Manolo.
    I'm with you. I think Immobile is very overrated for his season under Zeman.

    If we want to go with official press releases, we are negotiating with him as of today and sent a note to Bilbao about it but yeah, he's been "greened" for a while now. :p

    We'll still push for a deal now but don't think their President wants to sell. We'll see.
    i dont know how other members of the board could agree with forgoing millions of dollars like that without kicking up a fuss....strange place..

    Well that Sassuolo team have a potential. They'll probably be promoted. And Berardi is doing well for a 18 year old kid. On the other hand I'm disappointed with Masi and Apelt. They aren't doing well for Pro Vercelli.

    Is Appelt back from that injury? He wasn't bad before it. Rugani might end up being better than Masi and Leali will be great.

    People seem to forget that, you know.

    Boakye at 3 years younger is more impressive this term in Serie B than Immobile playing under Zeman last year in Serie B.
    :agree:

    Bilbao announcing it publicly NOW seems very fishy. Almost makes me feel that they're discreetly saying he'll leave this window..........:snoop:
    :tuttosport: Yes , i really hope so , our guys are trying now it is up to the madman urrutia . Still what llorente has done until now to come here is an exellent start in my opinion , choosing to stay and not play for a year just to come at us shows great will from his part . Must say that i wasn't that hyped about this , but after seeing all this situation now i am excited to the max , can't wait until he comes here , LLORENTE :tuttosport:

    Well this is a dumb thing to do, don't you think? Wasting your form by not playing and hoping someone (big) would sign you afterwards? And I don't think he "stopped" playing just for Juventus. He stopped because he wanted to leave Athletic refused to sign a new deal and therefore he was singled out. And I wouldn't be surprised if he goes to another club instead of Juve.
    I would prefer if Juventus do not sign him but keep playing like they are playing now. Goals are flying from everywhere - defenders, midfielders, attackers... And the opponents do now know what to expect when playing against Juve. For me Llorente doesn't fit with this Juve (if he comes in the winter transfer window).

    First Welcome :D , second not really . He will come to JUVE , it is a done deal . It is not stupid because it shows that he wants to win , he got tired of playing for a team without any real asspirations so he prefered to not play for a year so that he can have his chance to someone big , athletic actually wanted to sign a new deal , but he refused . On the other hand they didn't sell him , they want the full buyout clause to be paid , seeing the conditions he can't move . Still seeing that he stopped for a year shows a great desire to win and seeing that he is coming to us i am pretty sure that he will transfer all that desire in the field with exellent results in my opinion

    Appelt and Masi were doing doing fine, especially Appelt, for Pro Vercelli...They have both been injured for a while now. Gabriel returns early January, big Albert likely a little deeper into the first month of the new year. But in terms of their selection and form, both were regular starters and in solid form prior to their respective injuries...Pro vercellie only won promotion last season, so they are to be expected to struggle. Their form seemes to have dropped even more lowly since our two loanees entered the treatment room.
