I'm the opposite, struggling to see how it doesn't add up.He's in the last year of his contract so you'd expect them to drumming up interest in a similar way to Koeman is for Barkley. I think the player we will be after probably has a longer contract but we are (Highly optimistic) making them an offer they can't refuse.
Other clubs seemingly know the Balde situation and yet it's only Juve that seem to be making noise.
JJ hasn't ever mentioned "Northern" italy specifically by the way. I think Breezer mentioned Juve but can't recall who said Northern. It's all opinion and not facts but this doesn't stack up to me. He looks a good player and a better option of what we wanted Sissoko to be. Would be happy if this was the one.
I still think we will get a surprise from the Italian links, I'm hoping it might be Schick still.
