Don't rate him personally. But AC Milan asked for him back and they're the league champs over there so... Can't be that bad.
This seems to be actually moving and would be a good reason why we were apparently holding talks with Chelsea. Can only hope he does a good job tbh
Nice option big strong ****er which with the new rules is great... Him a Joelinton can compete can be rotated
I won't put my nose up to it, I'm glad we are signing cover and we sign players now who were out of our dreams 12 months ago.
He played well for Milan and Napoli apparently. I'm reading now. Saw it being said Chelsea didn't give him much of a chance and forced him out quick.
