Juventus fans sulking because he's not Pirlo.

We've had similar about Buendia not being Grealish.

Yet with Villa in attendance at San Siro on Sunday to scout the South American in person, he was again one of Juventus’ better performers in a drab 0-0 draw. Bentancur led his team in open-play passes with 66 at a completion rate of 93 per cent and, as usual, brought hustle off the ball before being substituted with a minute of normal time to go.

Didn't a few on here watch the Juventus game on Sunday and say he was near invisible for 89 minutes?

Yeah but have you seen the state of our match threads over here.

Some comments I’ve seen after our matches regarding Luiz and Buendia do make me wonder if we are not the best candidates for the recruitment of players.

You could pick a random match and talk yourself out of any player in world football on that basis.

Good job we're not then. But then again, the people who are, picked Wesley and Danny Drinkwater, so swings and roundabouts!

I’ve just remembered when we signed Marlon Haywood.

His older, musical, Pat Sharpe look-a-like cousin.

Twitter rumours suggesting that Dan Neil from Sunderland is incoming but nothing legit to back it up yet.

Suggestion that we're in for Mavididi also along with West Ham and Newcastle

So you're saying that Bent Neilsens Screamer, Dante and Ozzjim talk shit. Gotcha! ;)
