on the same twitter feed:

"Alessandro Bastoni hasn't committed a single error leading to an opposition goal in his Serie A career, totalling 120 league appearances"

It's not beyond the realms of possibility he has a source but from what i've seen he is about as reliable as Gards for transfer news....
Be careful about "reliability" - things change quickly, and what might have been valid information when given, turns out not to be true later.

As with any source - apply liberal amounts of salt, appreciate the insight, and wait for confirmation.

It’s just an aggregator of info, the person who runs it is at pains to regularly say that he isn’t itk in the slightest. It’s pretty useful to keep up with the fun if you don’t take it too seriously.
At pains to regularly say he isn't itk but gives his own opinion, a hell of a lot, as if he is.

I read somewhere recently that Bastoni attributes 90% of his game to being coached by Conte. If Conte wants him, we should just go out there and get him. The best left sided centre-back in Serie 'A' alongside the previously labelled 'best central defender in Serie 'A' (Romero) with Eric the great in a central role of a three. Yeah baby....!!!

I get the feeling that if we land either of Bastoni or Perisic, the floodgates will open. Here’s hoping. Still a long way to the finish line.

Listening to Matt Hayes blog tonight, it sounds like a very serious bid for Bastoni is only a day or two away. Please God let it be.

They will indeed and I won't be able to cope

idk, i just got a gut feeling we won't get him like skriniar. I think they are just jerking everyone around and will sell dumfries/a couple others to make up that money. If that's the case im 100% fine with bremer. Just need one in

I have a good feeling about this one, not that I have any inside knowledge. Just feel he is our top target, Inter have seemingly decided he is the big name they are willing to move on! We have the money, Conte and Paritici for the Italian link.
Just seems to fall into place, imagine starting pre season with him, Kostic, Eriksen, Spence and Forster all signed up. One can dream.

It does feel like the statement we would need to kick off the summer, and at the same time out all the Conte unsettled stories to bed.

I imagine if we are not sure about the offer price for Bastoni I have to imagine Perisic committing and not having to spend 15-20M on Kostic would be huge as you could move the money you had budgeted to Bastoni.

I think there’ll be a number of moving pieces in this years puzzle. If we go big for Bastoni, then we may have to budget elsewhere. If Reguillon stays, will we need a LWB, probably dependant on whether Madrid exercise their option. If we pick off someone like Eriksen or Dybala on a free, then maybe more funds for CM or another CF.

I think the key point here is Inter appear to have already identified Bremer as Bastoni’s replacement, but I get the impression they can’t afford him and still make that €60m end of window profit without selling Bastoni. Does feel like there may be some kind of gentleman’s agreement going to be in place, Inter play ball on Bastoni, we stay out of the Bremer chase, given we’ve been openly linked. For what it’s worth, I think Bastoni would definitely be interested given Conte’s presence

Really?? When was that last minute Newcastle handball?
That was season before I think when they scored against us in like the 96th minute.

although he did get turned inside by Trossard when Brighton did us a couple of months ago. Not a direct error but was definitely poor defending
