Cesare Casadei

It's relatively low risk. 20m over 6 years, not a huge outlay. Likely is we can still sell for 30m in 3 years time if they dont break into first team. If they fail, not a huge amount lost. 3m per year on transfer amortisation. 
No-one is paying £30m for a guy who can't get into our first team  ... probably be lucky to get £5m ... 

Fingers crossed he turns out to be a good signing. 

 
I mean when you look at the age of our current Cobham products + adding the likes of Casadei, Chukwuemeka, Slonia, we really are setting ourselves up for a sustainable future. 

Cesare Casadei - 18

Carney Chukwuemeka - 18

Gabriel Slonina - 18

Levi Colwill - 19

Armando Broja - 20

Wesley Fofana - 21

Anthony Gordon - 21

Reece James - 22

Poor old CHO LOL ... already out of mind ... 🙂

You could stick Havertz and Chalobah in the list as well - they are both younger than Mount !

And what about Pulisic ? LOL ... just kidding Hazardous 🙂

It really is promising given the last time we acted like this was in the early 2010's.

The bolded two are not signed yet and are not looking close to signing.

West Ham were happy to pay 30m for Broja. Everton paid 40m for Dele Ali. Newcastle paid 27m for Chris Wood.  Mid expectation he turns out to be that level.

All of whom have PL experience and have demonstrated they can perform in the PL already (admittedly that was years ago in the case of Ali LOL)

Casadei hasn't played one senior game yet, even in Italy ! 

Interested to see what a likely fee for Gilmour might be, assuming we are selling him and not loaning him.

In this scenario I'm expecting Casadei to get games. Just not be at the level we require. Like Emerson, but younger and a midfielder. 

Also Gibbs white just been sold for 45m and never played a PL game! 

I think gilmour is actually worth 30m to the right team. 

 
I thought that we wanted our scouts to look for potential future world class players, and when the club goes and starts doing that, some fans still complain! 
Who is complaining ?

I think we're all intrigued, and hoping he turns out to be a great goal-scoring midfielder like Lampard was. Certainly looks like he has the tools and physical attributes already.

Looking forward to seeing confirmation of his signing, hopefully tomorrow.

 
According to Romano he joins our squad immediately. No loan deal. Exciting to say the least. Our DEV squad looks pretty good this season 😂
