Generally ignore tweets from randoms, but this guy has proven he does know something or he is an extremely good guesser.

Unfortunately they're going off "Football Insider" which is just HITC with a new sexy name.

Not so sure he is.

He has screenshots of him mentioning stuff then it being mentioned by people like Fabrizio and Di Marzio a while later and then it happens.

Very suspicious of ITK's but this guy does have a history of getting stuff right and breaking it before very respected journalists.

Could just be a very good guesser but even so its something :)

Just read this in an article ... the more I read about this guy the more I like him ...

"The central midfielder has bagged 25 goals and provided 25 assists in just 146 games for Udinese, meaning he has contributed towards a goal in just over a third of his matches for the Italian outfit. He created several of these chances through exceptional set-pieces after becoming Udinese's primary corner and free-kick taker.

De Paul also has excellent dribbling skills and exploits them to great effect. He likes to drift towards the right-hand side of the pitch before cutting inside on his stronger left foot and unleashing a long-range strike at goal, similar to how Arjen Robben made his name. It may be a simple tactic but it's an effective one for De Paul as the midfielder bagged four goals from outside of the box in 2018/19, more than anyone else in Serie A."

How can you agree personal terms ahead of finding agreement with the club first?

Seems cart before the horse.

I believe its allowed Ian if the club gives permission to talk to the player.

Clickbait site HITC now suggesting de Paul favours a move to Juve rather than Leeds.

I wouldn't even have mentioned it except the it was reported yesterday that Udinese were floating the loan to buy option to Italian teams.

Yeah, this is looking tougher by the day. Less than 50% now I’d reckon.

This is such an impact type player, I am hoping that we can pull this out of the hat. Cannot really believe the last 2 months, we are turning a corner. Just hoping to stsy grounded that our new players make the right adjustment with our Coaching.

Interestingly the majority of phone in and text message fans didn't want Messi to come to Man City (can we have Aguero if he does) at they think he'd be disruptive to the team ethic and who gets dropped

I think that is a legit concern for the fans... I know I would have the same one...given the last couple of years he has had with Barc, not his playing but management disputes.

The Eagles about 8 yers ago filled their team with the best players at their positions, called a super team it flopped monumentally as most failed to fit in.

Fernando Torres was a world class striker, nailed on, going from Liverpool to Chelsea. Couldn't buy a goal for the Blues and that type of thing happens more often than you might imagine. Usually take foreign imports about a season to settle too we may need to be patient on Rodrigo and Koch
