Yes I've read very mixed things on both Dybala and Fernandes, but I really would like us to sign one of them, well both of them would be my absolute preference, but I don't think we will. I think Dybala is more likely because their are currently ongoing discussions to make that happen. Woodward has been in London with Dybala's representatives today and no doubt talks will continue over the weekend. That makes me think it's all about personal terms and if that's the case, we either want him or we don't IMO.
If he is asking for 300k-350k per week then so be it, that's the going rate for a player of his caliber these days. I suppose the risk is, if he would prefer to stay at Juventus but is only going to accept that to move here because Juventus are pushing him out, could he be another Di Maria and be gone in a year or two.
Personally, I rate him and would take the risk, he can play in the no 10 role or right wing and the thoughts of having a team with him and Bruno in really excites me.... I just don't believe that will actually happen. The Fernandes to Tottenham stories worry me, if we don't get him, I don't want him going to Tottenham instead. They have already signed Ndombele and I think that will prove to be a good signing. I don't want them also signing one of the hottest attacking midfielders in Europe right now as well.
