Btw, I am very surprised we have not heard many Raspadori rumors this summer. He finished off the season last year as a started and scored several goals. He now started this season with a goal and looks set to be a starter at Sassuolo going forward. I think this is great for him (to stay there and get a full season as a starter under his belt), but he's one Italian talent that I'd love for us to invest in and "block" him for next year. Gives me those Cassano/Totti/Del Piero vibes where he plays off the main ST but moves around the box centrally and fills in all those channels. Very crafty little player that's able to create for others, create for himself, finish chances and move to good areas in the box and act as a ST as well. Unfortunately, it stinks of a Juventus deal. Those fukers seem to get all the Italian talent. To be fair though, they don't mind investing in it as well whereas I don't know that we've ever done those sorts of deals (buy someone for a significant amount and leave them at that club for a year to further development).
