We keep harping on about getting the best young Italian talent, but Verratti, Insigne, and Bernardeschi are all plying their trade for other teams. It now seems that Gagliardini is gonna be another one of those promising talents we miss out on. Yet we still have room for the likes of Sturaro.
What makes Gagliardini an assured top young talent in the vein of those you mentionned, and worthy of nearly 30m after just 8 starts? We are interested, but on our own terms. I dont get why you are overhyping him, based on what?
And we already gotten Caldara from them, its not an immediate prority to go all out on him since he wont be instant improvement nor costing mid level bargain fee or be on loan etc. We go for deals similar to how we got Mandragora mostly.
Verratti we were close to getting for low sum in hindsight, and Bernadeschi we ALMOST convinced to sign with us for free in summer of 2015, but alas he is hometown boy, but would been a coup, tho we went for the superior Berardi instead. While Gagliardini without showing that much yet is quite instantly given a fairly hefty tag, so yeah ofcourse any interest in him will be complicated, but Atalanta shouldnt be too hard, we have plenty of ways to negotiate with them, considering we have decent amount of talents to offer them in exchange.

I am pissed, because the alternatives are absolute garbage. Names like Rincon and Luiz Gustavo hardly inspire confidence.
I call BS, Gagliardini is a young talent who can become something and Gustavo is nearing his twilight at 29, but fuck off with this absolute bullshit garbage comments. There is very little to suggest Gustavo would NOT be the better immediate impact player, in fact its GURANTEED he would be with the qualities he shown in his career (compared to 700 minutes in top leagues 22 year old), it was not long ago he was amongst the better DMs in the top leagues, and you say absolute garbage? While comparing him to a young player you KNOW you havent seen shit of? (funny enough I very much doubt you seen Gustavo either, just know the profile of the player).
Long term its clear who to go for instead, Gagliardini (tho why does he inspire confidence? He is a risk too), but short term impact the better player is the one you calling garbage, which is ridicolous, you NEVER learn.
I repeat this is you just prior to us signing Barzagli, many were skeptical, but ONLY YOU speak with absolute terms in BS merchant way like this:
What? Excuse Me? What planet have you been living on for the past 5 years? Barzagli is pure and utter garbage. At best, A Chievo type player.
