Stay strong Appie! ❤
De Ligt's biggest weakness is that he wants to conquer or keep the ball at all costs, even in risky defensive situations. He's good at it, too, but I like to see him take less risks and just hammer the ball if need be. Also, while I think he's very tough, and immensely battle tested at such a young age, he can be a bit more aggressive; grow a bit of a mean streak and become more intimidating. I think Juve's CB's, and Juve's playing style can learn him a thing or two on those subjects. I think the Serie A will toughen him up more. Not sure about La Liga. He'd might've become a better player with the ball there, but it's already one of his biggest assets. Nitpicking, though, as I see De Ligt flourish everywhere.
Yeah for once Dugarry is saying what everyone thinks. De Ligt's demands are unrespectful.
They just sold their starter (to Lyon), so I'm guessing they'll play him at least one year (the loan is 2 years) and activate the clause. Can't believe Sampdoria is 1/ selling him and 2/ for a loss.
Yeah I don't see Juve as a perfect place for anyone who enjoys football, but that's just me. They're right with Marseille on my hate list, and their defensive and cheating DNA is digusting.
Well I would. You don't want to be tied down? You sign a shorter 3 year contract and you can force your way out in 2 years rather than impose a release clause and a "I don't like hookers around here" clause.
No, they're not, but people here never take it into account.
France is IIRC the most taxed country in Europe, or pretty close to it. A player will make less money with the same salary in France than Spain, England or Italy.
Yeah, but a 3 year contract doesn't help the club who just shelled out 75 million or so for you.
Also, I understand why Aulas is trying to structure the Ndombele deal the way it is.
Spurs would pay 70M and add 15M in bonuses.
Except that apparently (I'm not sure of this), bonuses aren't included in the % Amiens would get out of the transfer.

Damn, Fiorentina, you're right 
Rabiot's strong enough. Tackles well, heads decently. Only drawbacks are : he looks a bit slow (looks rather than is tbh), and he can be nonchalant. Then what's in his head of course. But in pure football terms, he's got it all to dominate. You know how it is though sometimes players are passive. When he's focused, Rabiot can absolutely take over games.

Even if that is the case,it doesn't help the buying club and they probably don't agree to it especially considering what Raiola wants.

From a brief scan, that’s not really relevant. It looks like the top bracket in France is 45% and in Italy %43, so not a huge difference. Still, I wonder how much that type of thing plays into players choices.

That article also does not entirely address it. The law is supposed to attract rich people to move to Italy, because of course rich people really need more tax breaks. See below:

Nope. Disagree. Donnarumma is a huge downgrade in net. An outfield equivalent would be going from Paul Pogba to Mark Noble.

Denis Suarez to Valencia is off but Rafinha’s transfer is close to completion. Valencia didn’t want both of them, opted to take the chance on Rafinha.
According to AS, Denis Suarez is likely to make the move to Celta;

Ah, yeah that makes sense. Although I guess it’s more of a team incentive, not player, since the salaries seem to be net and not gross.

How is Barcelona gonna buy both Griezmann and Neymar?
As of now they can afford Griezmann, but Neymar’s move would be a bit more complicated. Would require him taking a wage cut, plus a few XI players being moved.

If Ole is really serious about changing the dynamic in the dressing room, this is a move that, while a gamble, could prove fruitful in the end. De Gea has been difficult with every single contract so far. That starts to rub other guys in the room and the board the wrong way over time
De Gea is the much better keeper right now, but Donnaruma is young and oozing potential. I'm not sure that this is going to be true for much longer.

Thanks. Not that bad, the head part of the game can always be fixed. Chiellini can always give him a couple of shots across the head to set him straight.
Can he potentially turn into a "destroyer" type midfield? That's what we have been lacking since Vidal and Pogba(ish) have left.

What is people's issue with Donnarumma?
He had a very good season. Best save percentage in Serie A of any goalie playing 3000+ minutes at 75.6%. Great for a 20 y/o.

I just don't rate Donnaruma in the slightest. Every time I see him he makes dumb mistakes and is just absolute garbage. If we sell DDG (first of all where are we selling him) I'd much prefer to go after someone like Onana, who will probably be cheaper. Just to throw out a few other names that I'd rather go for before Gigi, Pau Lopez, Thomas Strakosha, Mike Maignan, and Alphonse Areola. I would have had Alban Lafont at the very top of the list.
He has never passed the eye test for me. Every time I watched him (which admittedly probably isn't as much as I should) he just seems to make stupid mistakes and errors and he just doesn't seem to have the ability for the PL yet. Yes I could be entirely wrong and I understand that, but my personal opinion is that if we are spending that much I'd want much closer to a sure thing. While none of the guys I listed are a sure thing, they would cost much less.
