This season, Dybala has been far better than Zaniolo in every aspect of the game so do we want a diet Dybala again or go for a pure winger/LB/RB?

Imagine Bournemouth beating Milan to Zaniolo. It's like if Cremonese beat United to an English talent. Calcio is completely mudded by these incompetents at the top. And now they are ready to sink it even further. Grande Raiola was right that Italians would rather bring the top of Italy down to their level than raise up. Congrats Napoli on winning a third rate league.
Imagine how it must feel to romanisti that Zaniolo leveraged an offer from Bournemouth to get a better deal with them.
Bournemouth.
Football is dead.

The thing is it's literally only the money which tempts the players there.
Think about offered a multi-million euro contract to go and live in a beautiful city like Florence or Milan or Turin or Rome, and turning it down to go and live in Bournemouth or Leeds or Manchester or whatever- even London. Such a huge downgrade in the food, the culture, the people, the language and obviously the weather.
Only explanation is the money. Maybe it's just my bias and/or taste but it's not like the EPL is even especially glamorous, either. The Champions League is the glamorous part of European Club football, and England get the same number of teams in it as Italy so that's not even a reason. The challenge of playing in a league with a higher standard of football? Nah, I think to most players winning is more important.
It's all the money. I say this knowing that the Agnelli family buying Juventus back in the day was analogous to a Sheik or Oligarch buying an English team today, but the context is way different. It's too far gone. It's ruined.
They'd have to offer me double for me to even consider it

So a loan + option for McKennie. Doesn’t make sense to me, I think that we’ll sign someone on a similar deal. Even with the returning players from injury, we don’t have a lot of depth so a deal that doesn’t involve cash straight away without having some back up transfer in mind seems way to strange. Especially with our injury record.
Gambling on Zaniolo at the moment. Milan pulled out quite fast on the deal, some random PL club for a player that wants to play in the Italian club is to weird aswel.
If not someone like Holm or Fresneda.
