Anyone know anything about this guy?
Jason Denayer
https://www.transfermarkt.com/jason-...spieler/277114
Just released by Lyon, long-time Man City loan out and 35 caps for Belgium.
EDIT: Former young player of the year for Celtic. Negotiating with Rennes. Would seem a solid candidate.
EDIT EDIT:…. and every club in Europe wants him, apparently. Soooo… would have to be a DP deal if we had any shot.

Disagree. At LAFC and later Nashville you see what a now DP level defender can provide and I don't even consider Zimmerman a DP level CB I would sign as you can do better. In bigger terms it's like what VVD did when Liverpool signed him. They were also pretty weak at the back and they paid very large for him but it paid off.
Also unless you are hunting for out of contract players then any transfer fee is amortized so if you want a really good CB then it would probably be a DP level deal.
according to the manning scouting system John Anthony Brooks is also a FA
Centre-Back
The idea that the toughest thing to do in soccer is score...I'm not sure that idea is true anymore.
For whatever reason, CB has probably been the position we've had the hardest time filling over the years. Even though it's supposedly the easiest position to fill domestically/through the MLS draft.
I always said just take the highest ranked CB unless a golden GK is available. Those are the only two spots I would take.
I wasn't even mad at us taking Dorsey over Tajon because who knows how that works but I was mad at Dorsey over St. Clair. That was just fucking stupid.
Top Italian Free Agents or Contracts Expiring
Belotti
Jorginho
Gagliardini
El Shaarawy
Number of Italians not requiring transfer fees or who are on their final year after Belotti and Jorginho is really really small.
Ha! Matteo 'Baby Face' / 'The Kid' Moretto said that?
The first I have heard about Fulham... was from him... about an hour ago!
Maybe? It's a reasonable explanation that addresses the delay in signing.
If Pastorello indeed is Fede's agent, then I am less inclined to expect any last minute #batshitcrazy legendary MRaiola antics.
On the other hand, lets all be cognizant that Fede is a bit of a quirky/weird cat.
There may be other... personal issues at play.
Remember, Insigne & Co. had about six months to 'acclimatize' to his decision and make the adjustment.
Criscito was, because I believe TheGoodson, the 'earliest' get. Although he seems to have arrived alone?
Hmmm... to be reviewed and discussed at a later date.
I believe Fede's situation predominantly developed within the last month.
His wife is an Italian / Roman celebrity; unique by her own individuality.
He may not want to leave her all alone to figure it all out.
He has 4 kids, the first sponsored or adopted a while ago with her.
The latter three born by his wife within the last 4 years; that means all under 4!
The Brunelleschi's are almost ready to field a futsal team!
He has got 2 English Bull Dogs.
A collection of guitars.
They are probably trying to deal with the situation; the decision and the move as a 'family'.
Planning Visa's or ETA's, if parents- baby care are accompanying them, any home contents logistics, accommodation ideas, etc. ...
Yesterday was also her birthday.
What is it with Italians, their Footballers, and their fooken dogs!
