So Ed has said our top cm target is or was Sergej Milinkovic Savic what to people make off him?
Would he get into the madrid or Munich team etc?
Is he a big enough name that if he has a drop in form people will still rate him or will he be another player used as an example of not being good enough for the likes of Chelsea and madrid .

{Ed002's Note - Asd I have explained - that ship has sailed in all probability.}

No probs Ed cheers, would of been an interesting choice tho.

{Ed002's Note - It would have been a good choice - he is very well thought of but the club will look to others.}

jred, I believe 002 mentioned on the European pages that Lazio made it clear that the player will be signing a new contract at the club. Also, could be possible that Lazio are asking too much. There comes a point where signing a player isn't viable (in terms of fee demands) no matter how good they are.

Shame, really, as I believe he would be great in alongside Pogba. A lot of people have buzzed about Keita Balde this season, however, when Lazio really tick it's been when Milinkovic-Savic has ticked.

Mpez haven't really noticed him to be honest, probably haven't seen enough of him to be fair but when I watched lazio he didn't really stand out.
But like I say really haven't seen enough off him, which is why for me it would of been an interest signing.

{Ed001's Note - he is highly rated in Italy. One coach I heard talking about Italy's top prospects rated him as the best of the lot.}

Ed to be honest I like that type of signing, it's great to see the big names but 50 % of the price is hype .

Fans all talk about the big names because they have the media attention but most the time they are massively over hyped .
People say a player struggles to live up to the price tag truth is they struggle to live up to the expectation fans have put on them because they where never as good as the price tag suggested.

{Ed001's Note - actually I think the lad would have commanded a huge price tag though.}

{Ed001's Note - wouldn't be far off mate.}

Should watch Lazio if you ever have free time and they're on. Great team to watch when they're playing well, with some exciting talent.

M-S, Parolo, Immobile (although hasn't done well eslewhere), Keita-Balde are all a joy to watch when they're on point.

I agree, 001, I think he would have cost a fair bit, and may be why we have taken a step back alongside them saying he is going to sign a new contract. I envisage him going to either Bayern or Juventus within the next few seasons. Mabe Juve when Dybala goes.

{Ed001's Note - Juve were very interested in taking him in the summer, hence the new contract to stop it.}

Ed I've seen he has been linked with Chelsea for 30 mil, but dear me a100 mil for a 22 year who has played 60 games for lazio and not made his international debut?
Football world's gone mad.

{Ed001's Note - you have to pay a premium for talent.}
