    I get this, and obviously 'contract negotiations' went quite quickly down the 'lol u wot mate?' route when Rambo's agent bowled in with his wage demands, but I don't really see what Juve get out of it. OK, maybe they figure there's no real point in trying to nobble the local market as all their rivals are wank (careful though, mess with a proven formula and things can go wrong - see Bayern [I have no idea if they have bought anyone off a Bundesliga rival of late]), but why not just blow an £80m hole in the budget to scoop up those young Italians everyone is going on about (Tonali and some midfielder from the south?).

    Speaking of Italian wonderkids, what's the situation with that next Messi one who went to Monaco was it? The Genoa kid? Going by off how well Monaco are doing, not well would be my guess. And, whilst we're on the subject, Odegard? Maybe that answers point A. I still reckon buy a £40m midfielder and pay him £200k a week is better than giving Ramsay that money.

    Odegaard was about 9 when he went to Madrid wasn't he? Last I heard he was doing decently but not broken through yet.

    Pellegri is still only 17 and currently injured according the t'internet. Monaco were absolute shit under Henry, idk if they've picked up since their old manager came back.

    I mean, they're probably buying Ramsey to strengthen their squad for Europe. Not that their midfield is bad but maybe Ramsey gives them a little bit more guile. Also, Khedira's only 31. He's been around forever.

    Wolves played awful. Newcastle deserved the win but Big Wily Boly with the late minute leveler.

    There's a reason why those teams are down there.

    Most of them won't pick up 6 points in the next month.

    Plenty of six pointers in the next month. Can't help thinking Brighton or Newcastle will go down.

    They get approx 4-5 prime years of a known good midfielder. The one thing I would be slightly concerned about is his injury record, but when fit he is perfectly competent, probably even 'dynamic' once you put him into the Italian game. I don't know Italian football well but I would imagine there isn't a comparable player they can gobble up from Napoli or wherever else they source their players. Juve aren't too bothered about buying to speculate, they take the finished product.

    He is also a nice way into the anglophone market and its all-important dollars, looks good on a billboard, and also the historical Welsh connection is on-brand for them.

    He's good in a "well, we have to have some Home Grown players" sense, but what does an Italian team get out of this transfer that they couldn't get out of signing any Spanish Midfielder?

    Showed a bit of pace and set Perez up for a shot over the bar. He basically played out wide instead of Atsu. Burnley and Huddersfield are next which will pretty much seal our fate.

    Barella is the Cagliari midfielder @niko_cee is talking about. Excellent player but would be £30m - £40m. He's 22 but only really had 2-3 seasons at Cagliari so would represent a risk given this version of Juve don't really buy potential.

    In terms of other players, none really stick out. Juve's struggles are someone from central midfield who can get forward and score/be creative. Khedira & Emre Can both played (and scored!) at the weekend but that's very much a rarity. Inter don't really have one, neither do Napoli or Milan. Roma have Zaniolo but he's only just joined them and is tearing it up - would again be a risk for the money they would ask for.

    It's just such a Juve signing, he'll come in and do really well I think and you're right they don't particularly care about resale value. A midfield 3 of Pjanic, Matuidi and a good version of Ramsey does look pretty good on paper.

    Yeah Young should have been off there.

    Then again Kimbempe should have had a second yellow for the one of Shaw, so swings and roundabouts.
