Giuseppe Ambrosino

Had a great record at Molde. Was a very strange signing at the time and I'm sure he was a record sale for Molde, which they've never received since. £12m or something. Had we not signed Yamada/Osmand, would have been all over that as a signing.

 

Yeah the worry for me is with still looking at Ambrosino after Yamada, why are we still looking at strikers?

We can debate quality of Maeda, Idah and Yamada being our main three options but surely we aren’t bringing in a fourth for one position?

I am not totally convinced Maeda will definitely be here come the end of the window.

 

Don't think Maeda goes to be honest.

 

What are yous hearing.....?

 

Absolutely nothing. Just thought we would have heard far more concrete whispers. Been absolutely nothing about Hatate or Maeda for the last few weeks.

 

I think we keep both and maybe sell them at a reduced fee next summer.

Which I'd be more than fine with tbh.

 

I'd be ok about selling Hatate, especially if we go back to a 4-2-3-1. He isn't going to play in front of McGregor, he shouldn't play as an attacking midfielder because he's much better picking the ball up from deep and I think we play Engels as a 6 with McGregor, given we know he has the attributes to play differently to McGregor.

 

Realistically though that is

Idah £9m
Ambrosino £3-4m
Yamada £1.5m
Osmand £0.5m

It wouldn’t surprise me if a Brentford or West Ham put a bid in for Maeda. He will definitely have suitors after his season last year.

 

Where's the £3/4m coming from..?

Thought it was loan with possible buy option around the £9m mark?

I also dont believe we're selling Maeda in this window with Kuhn going and Jota out until the New Year

 

The last report I saw was another Italian club had bid €3m for him with a significant sell on. It’s the only time I have seen a figure put on him, it has also been reported in Italy it is a permanent deal we have been looking for rather than a loan. The loan chat seemed to come from Calgari and another making loan offers for him.

He only has a year left on his deal so unless he signs a new one it won’t be a loan.

 

I am not saying it isn’t terrible business but I do find it weird we are still looking at strikers. Unless this is a case of Rodgers was presented with Ambrosino and liked the look of him, whilst the club are out signing Yamada.

 

I got a good feeling about this lad.

Cagliari and Cremonese will be delighted to hear that...

 

Serie A new boys Cremonese are set to hold crunch talks with Napoli over a deal for reported Celtic target Giuseppe Ambrosino.


The Italy U21 star is said to be on Brendan Rodgers' radar with the Hoops boss in the market for more attacking reinforcements.

But reports in Italy claim that they could miss out on Ambrosino, who caught the eye on international duty earlier this summer at the U21 European Championships in Slovakia.


Local Naples outlet Il Corriere del Mezzogiorno (via areanapoli.it) report that the attacker is one of four players that Napoli boss Antonio Conte has informed sporting director Giovanni Manna to find exit routes for.

They add that Cremonese transfer chiefs will meet with the Serie A champions on Wednesday to see if an agreement can be reached, with the Italian side also keen on Napoli's fellow young forward Alessio Zerbin.

 

Aww *. Well that will be that then

 

Think he was the back up option if we didn’t get Yamada.
