Moises Kean

[LeTallecWiz]

Juve striker/attacking wing.
He looks the real deal.
Already capped by Italy and he's not even 20.

For some reason, they're trying to get rid ... I think this will be another Coman like capture for someone.

Quite a few clubs are being linked ... but not us ...

I would love to sign him.

You're just keen because his name sounds a bit like "Moses"

After the last Moses, I would rather we go with an Aaron or Miriam before we try Moses ... but I'll make an exception because this kid is really good ...

 

[manwithnoname]

I read a link to The Bitters a few weeks ago.......

I suppose one of the reasons for him possibly leaving Juve is that there's quite a bit of competition in the squad and maybe he won't play that much with Ronaldo, Ramsey, Dybala et al.......plus there's also the racism.

I'd take him. Sounds Irish.

Irish Black Italian.

Think of the dinners at his house!

Er, actually only the Italian bit sounds great from a dinner POV.

Yep

Yep

The after-dinner partying then!

Now that would be something.

Roy Keane's Dad was called Mossey so it's a no from me

They are insisting on a buy back clause which rules us out. The likes of Everton will accept those terms

They basically need to reduce their wage bill to comply with FFP, because they can't shift Higuain, who's come back. And they paid heaven and earth in wages for De Ligt too.

But typical Italian club, you can't get a bargain off them. They'll want a buy back clause, where you're essentially just training him up for them, for when Ronaldo retires.

I should imagine Higuain takes some shifting

So offer them 50 million and no buy back - they'll take it.
Or scarred b/c of Coman?

Short for Maurice I think

I thought it was short for Mossad

The Irish are the best for bastardising first names.

I had an Uncle Owny* for years and only found out his actual name was "Owen" when he died.

*pronounced Oh-Knee

 

[tombrown]

Short for Maurice I think

Short for Tomas, which is pronounced Tomoss.
They try to call me that over here

 

[tombrown]

Folks here advocating signing an Italian? SOS @judgejules

My Mum is Mary. They call her Maura
Molly was another - She was Mary too
Madge - she was actually Josephine.

They name you one thing and call you another. But Owny is close to Owen. Or was he Eoin?

Yea, probably.

Apparently when Roy Keane broke into the Forest team he started to send back cash in the form of British pounds back to his folks in Cork.
His father used this quite regularly in the local and so he thus gained the moniker of "Sterling Moss"

 

[Ijg]

This kid is the truth. Would love for us to get him.

In the north it would be TAM-ass so you take your pick.

 

[Roopy]

And cash only payment accepted 😀

Actually I think it was almost certainly Eoin.

One of my favorite names. Along with Rory and Darragh. Ferdia is another

Played ball with a defender called Eoin. Had a habit of scoring a particular type of goal.

I don’t think anyone’s mentioned the fact he was racially abused towards end of last season. Maybe he’s sick of it knowing that attitude will not change anytime soon?

 

[LeTallecWiz]

[article]According to Sky Sports News, Everton are in talks with the Serie A champions over the transfer of Kean.

As per Sky, Juventus are said to want £36m for the young striker, and also a buy-back clause[/article]

Going to Everton to avoid racism?!

Frying pan, to fire.
