Radja Nainggolan - CM - Cagliari/Roma (16 Viewers)

[Zacheryah]

overhyped based on that game against us mostly

he's to expensive for a backup (considering we need investment in the frontline)
and not quite good enough to be a starter

^ he was overhyped way before that.

 

[JuveJay]

His overhype is overhyped, if he wasn't set on leaving Italy I'd still like him here.

 

[Salvatore]

True. I don't remember anyone hyping him up as much as some claim. He was always seen as a good backup player for our starting midfield (I maintain that even if he did supposedly reject us) with potential to be better. I suppose the biggest thing that makes people think he's all hype is the transfer fee, but even then most (if not all) agreed that Cagliari's demands were far too much.

Seems like we're getting Nainggolan, and not Asamoah. Would be stupid, imo.

The deal is done with the player, according to Radja himself. But the clubs are still apart when it comes to reaching a transfer fee.

awful decision from us if true, Asamoah twice the player Nainggolan is.

 

[Fake Melo]

Get him and Asamoah. Would be an amazing midfield.

Not gonna happen. Radja = 12-15 mill. Asamoah = 15-18 mill.

Add to that that we're probably gonna pay 6-8 mill for Verratti.

No, it's gonna be either one of Radja or Asamoah, because we're not gonna pay over 30 million (incl. Verratti) on the midfield alone, because it's already our strongest part of the team.

Only reason we're going after Radja now is because Udinese as usual has priced us out for Asamoah in my view.

 

[JuveJay]

Radja is a really good player as well.

 

[Fake Melo]

Radja is a really good player as well.

Yup. He can turn out to be great under Conte.

I like Asamoah as well, would welcome any of them.

Radja is boss though.

 

[ZoSo]

Seriously though, I don't think we could go wrong with either, they are both pretty good though Asamoah is probably a little better and a bit more versatile.

 

[da_ledgeaun]

Plus he has Indonesian blood.!!
Still Kwadwo is the better player though

 

[Jem83]

Don't get me wrong. Radja is good. I was just hoping we'd aim a bit higher. I really wanted Asamoah.

 

[AOD4]

Till it's official, anything is possible we can still land Asamoah.

 

[Jem83]

Yeah, true. This isn't official. However, the article quotes Radja, who says a deal is in place, so at the moment he must be considered closer to Juve than Asamoah.

 

[Salvatore]

Unexpected, is that newspaper reliable then? Sounds weird for a player to be so open about his future like that, unless he's trying to be the next Belgian international to create a media frenzy over his next move.

Anyway, seems like my post at the end of the last saga still describes my opinion.

Still think we remain in the hunt for Asamoah, Udinese sell players.

Seems odd. Belgian media have an interview with him and he says Juventus are interested, but the price is steep and there are other big Italian clubs after him as well. He explicitly says he has not yet made up his mind.
