36 y/o is older than the usual profile for the club but for a defender its an ok age - euros cup winning captain, 121 caps for Italy, 600+ appearences and only a year left on his contract. I'd take him in a heart beat as a replacement for Lascelles especially if funds are tighter than most think.

The Harvey Barnes story seems to carry some weight.

That would be a shame. Decent player, but looks overpriced and doesn't fit well with our current style of play. Likes a number 10 to his right, or a deep playing striker, so he can play a one-two and burst into the penalty area. He's really quite a poor dribbler and relies quite heavily on this one trick, so we'd need to adjust style for him to be effective. Might work with Isak in the striker role I suppose, but the tactic would likely somewhat limit Isak's goalscoring. I'd much prefer we looked elsewhere.

He’s a mint dribbler technically, it’s a lack of awareness in general in what to do, where to go and who to use

If Maddison went for £40m, we can get Barnes for similar.

He'll fit in, definitely a good addition, brings the goals
