Transfer Rumour Manolo Gabbiadini

[Pabbers]

Pelle did alright.

He was utter pants in Italy, and made his name in Holland

 

[Pabbers]

Zola and Di Canio were naff like

They were bot great in Italy, and never really considered top Italian players.

 

[Jags..class]

We don't need him, we have kone

 

[Matt76]

We don't need him, we have kone

We need someone who can cross a ball in for starters never mind strikers

Same with him really just not give enough chances at Napoli. He's got obvious talent but is a gamble (who isn't these days).

Everton given €30m Gabbiadini price
By Football Italia staff
Mediaset claim Everton can sign Manolo Gabbiadini for €25m plus €5m bonuses, so Napoli get Simone Zaza from Juventus for €20m.

There were multiple reports today of Napoli director Cristiano Giuntoli in advanced negotiations with both Everton and Zaza’s father.

According to Mediaset Premium, the plan is to sell Gabbiadini to the Premier League club for €25m plus €5m in bonuses.

The striker is ready to sign a contract worth €3m per year.

It’s also reported that Napoli have already worked out an agreement with Juventus to take Zaza for €20m plus performance-related bonuses.

Radio Marte claimed today that Zaza’s father was spotted in a Rome hotel with Napoli director Giuntoli to discuss personal terms.

Zaza has also been linked with West Ham United and Southampton.



Thoughts Blues?

well half of that article is (seemingly) wrong since Zaza has apparently confirmed he's staying at Juve.

On topic anyway, Gabbiadini is decent. Failed to settle at Napoli.

Not sure he's what we need but IF we are after him then Koeman obviously feels differently.

 

[Petit]

He's definitely not a striker though more a CF/false 9 kinda player. Watched him against Pescara first game of the season and can't remember him touching the ball before he got subbed.

What the heck is a false 9 anyway?

What the heck is a false 9 anyway?

Aha erm like a striker but stands off the centre halves and comes short for it more to link play. Think Barkley but would be the "focal" point.

A.K.A. a complete un-Koeman like position.

Did you get permission from that bitter bute Aldridge to use one of his catchphrases (false 9) such a kopite phrase hate it

How on Earth is false nine - a well coined footballing term - a kopite phrase you walking void.
