Knew it was too good to be true. Fucking Neves 
Sassuolo looking for a tea-bagging from Juve is it? Even if weāre offering liquid gold for the lad?
Sadists.
Apart for that second game, Locatelli hasnāt really had a very good tourney has he?
Wonder if that lowers expectations from Sassuolo and has raised some doubts for Juve.
I saw somewhere that West Ham withdrew from pursuing a Czech player after seeing him at the Euros.
Should always buy based on club form anyway
But when I speak and say heās really not all that Iāve got Big Weng whoās never seen him play telling me Iām wrong haha.
Locatelli is a good player but I have my doubts about him and I think the Euros reaffirmed those doubts.
What tournament were u watching? Kid is a beast. He was second choice to Veratti whoās one of the most complete midfielders in the world, and Italy probably played better overall with Locatelli.
No they did not haha. Locatelli was poor in the games he came off the bench I.E. against teams with good midfields.
Yeah, I think those two (admittedly fantastic) goals are like the Ukraine/Germany game for england, made him look much better than he actually is.
That Germany game was a contest of who is less shit, will win the game. As you say, he canāt be a number 8 metronome like Verratti is.
Watching verratti last night making runs and clever passes and covering well was a fucking work of art.
That said, I still do rate locatelli higher than youāre giving him credit, but not a man to build your team around. Would be good in a three man midfield if the other two are on jorginhoās level etc
His only good performance was against Switzerland. Had an alright cameo against Austria too but thatās it.
Didnāt impress in his first start against Turkey either. His cameos in the other matches were very meh too. He certainly didnāt make a case to start over Jorginho, Veratti or Barella.
Listen, I think heās very good player and Iād love him here if he actually wanted to come here. He still has work to do though.
I remember Del Piero was talking about him and Juve after the match against Switzerland. He said Loca wouldnāt be a starter at Juve next season. I think heās onto something.
There is definitely competition.
Juventus already have Bentancur, Rabiot, McKennie, and Arthur in the 6/8 positions. Locatelli might surpass all of them in time but Iām not sure he just walks into the team.
Locatelli walks into that shit midfield, but that is still not the level juventus have had the past ten years
Locatelli aside this tournament opened my eyes to a whole host of Italian talent which is been for the most part slept on outside of Serie A. Really think teams like us need to start monitoring more closely what is going on in Serie A and using our financial muscle to pick up some prospects instead of just looking at ligue 1.
Personally, Iāve never doubted Serie A talent. Iāve said it often, for me Serie A has been the second best league in the world the last couple of years behind PL.
My main concern and I think the concern for most is that we donāt have many success stories of Italian players joining the PL and having successful spell here.
The problem is always going to be you will struggle to attract the best Italian talent the same way youāll struggle to attract the best Spanish, German and even English talent. Players would rather play for the top clubs in their respective national leagues than move abroad and uproot themselves.
In that entire Italian team only Jorginho (Brazilian born) and Verratti (who is handsomely rewarded by the worlds wealthiest club) ply their trade outside of England. Gigio joining PSG makes it three but thatās solely money motivated with what theyāre paying him.
The fact Locatelli is insistent on a move to Juventus despite them probably not being prepared to pay him what we would speaks volumes about where his head is at. Italians love living at home, they love the quality of life in Italy and the prestige attached to playing for certain clubs.
Canāt blame them bro 
Honestly heās just not that good that I want us to chase him and convince him to join us when he clearly doesnāt want to lol
I wish him well at Juventus
But his stats and those big shapes that show heās better than Xhaka and stuff
