Dest from Barcelona is free agent in january. He is nothing special but still better than all of our back's
I’ll politely disagree here. He’s not built for an Allegri system. He likes to push further up but doesn’t have the attacking intelligence, crossing, dribbling, etc. to justify it.

He doesn’t defend particularly well and is caught out of position regularly and doesn’t track back to cover his zone which means he would never feature in a starting lineup for us. He’s also a small body, easily man handled from a physicality perspective.

Despite being my countryman I can confidently say he’s not built for an Allegri system and potentially Serie A.

Locatelli played in a middle table team and we overpaid completely. We had already two midfielders with the same characteristics in Rabiot and Bentancur.
The biggest factor buying him was that he is italian and was part of the team that won the Euros. There was no need buying him, should have gone for Savic instead in my opinion or at least get rid of Rabiot or Benta before buying him.

My point with McKennie was that Paratici has a good eye for finding this kind of talents, other clubs want also the marketing oppurtunity in the US but were not aware that McKennie is a good player.
I guess you dont rate Locatelli as I do.
Locatelli did play for a mid-table team but in terms of performance he was one of the best in Serie A.
He proved it for a couple of years already.
He also played for Italy and did well.
Considering all that I think the price is fair.
Now going into his Juve games - He did well overall although I wouldnt say he did amazing. He did upgrade our mid and he did bring something we were lacking.

SMS? Sure he would have made a bigger impact but he would also cost way more than Locatelli and we didnt and probably still dont have these funds.

So much wrong in one post. Won't even bother.

Dusan Vlahovic decided to stay at Fiorentina this winter. Inter and Milan dream about having him. Tottenham intends to soon formulate an offer to Commisso but Dusan chose Juventus as his favorite destination. (86_longo)
