Transfer Rumours Summer Transfer window

I know but its been dead for a few days so I'm taking it and running

 

Hes tweeted quite early

probably get an update later on bid

 

Wonder if we will trigger the clause

 

Fair enough, but my point still stands. Having someone at the back with a good amount of experience at a high level will be important this season.

 

Was just jesting mate

 

Agree or its actually further along than it's being made out and the club are confident it's going to be done

I've watched Bologna quite a lot, like watch Feeguson play from a Scottish point of view, and this lad doesn't massively stand out. But that's a very good thing, he does most things very well, and seems really good positionally and can pass through the lines.

There's certain positions you scout where you don't want them to 'stand out' and CB is one of them.

This could be a very very smart signing and still gives us room to go sign another quality CB

 

Gonna simmer me hopes because he’s one of the most consistent centre backs in the Serie a. Not gonna get devoted to him till it’s more advanced haha

 

That's boring Cam, get devoted to him and let's get excited

Then he doesn't join we'll just say we will sign better, he's just not cut out for English football, he's not that good anyway or f**k him he's clearly after the money

 

**** that I’ve already got Lucumi 26 on my away kit

 

Explorative talks, long standing interest, no bids… Could be wrong but feels to me like a bit more smoke and mirrors

 

Hope not. Quality centre back. Might be getting out early as his clause ends soon and we might be tempted to trigger it?

 

Might be wrong mate, just seems an odd post from Keith.

 

My optimistic side is that Keith is just tweeting to keep up with Romano, and has tagged on the El Khannouss story from earlier.

If the club were using Keith to play down Romano's original tweet, I think he'd have been stronger and said language along the lines of "not advanced" and "other options" etc, like he has for El Khannouss

 

Very true, I honestly think we are tempted to trigger the clause

 

I think it was a translation error the other way. I.e. we have been in contact but offered less than the clause, and Bologna didn't want to sell for less before it expired in case someone came in and offered the full amount.

Latest from Sky Sports News' Keith Downie:
