Yeah, he’ll be in Slot’s doghouse faster than you can say “Diouf.”
None of those football issues seem like anything that any top club doesn't encounter with certain top players. Any none of the off-the-field things are anything that would worry me too much (though the baby-mama drama comes close...).
If the price is right, and people who know more about him than I do say that he's ideal for our set up, I'd not be afraid to give it a go...

I thought he'd already gone somewhere. Potential missed opportunity (unless wage demands were stupid)
I don’t know whether it was “missed” as such - he’s been pretty clear about having no interest in Liverpool and I remember reading ages ago that he preferred a move to Italy.
Maybe he just really likes fancy cheese on round toast.
Allegedly his agents were asking for a massive (15m€) payoff, which put some clubs off.
Good signing for Juventus. Not sure about the fit on his end though, feel like he could have done better.
Juve has been shopping in the free agent bin for years now and look where they are now. Bar an occasional gem like Milner, it’s a bad strategy.
Tbf Madrid have been getting their biggest signings from the free agent bin for a bit.
Theres value to be found, but you shouldn't be doing your big shop from there
Napoli are not the only club looking at Nunez. There are other clubs including Saudi and English ones.
Nunez isn’t going anywhere because everyone knows he’s thick, shit and we are desperate to get rid of him.
We got £8m for Trent and £3m for Nat in either case we shouldn't have got £1m plus. When it comes to selling Edwards does know what he is doing. Nunez, Morton, Elliott and Cheesy will all be gone and will probably make £120m on top of the £53m we've already made. Calm the fuck down the window has two months to run
when the post telling you to calm down is more highly strung than anything that came before 😂
Every time I lashed out was for a reason. last season I didn't ask for transfers just get Trent, VVD and Salah renewed and this was only recently concluded. This season you did not see post a million YouTube clips of X and Y players
So you're saying we solve it the Escobar way?
considering another season of darwin
with an abundance of drugs, yea that’ll do
*imagines Darwin at Napoli... *
IMO we will need two no.9s if Diaz does end up going, but I wouldn't be in a hurry to sell him.
I mean #7
