Mario Pasalic

He seems to be doing well in Atalanta, particularly in the CL!

Agree with you but if the option is him or giving Madrid £35m for Kovacic, I’d rather keep him.

This aged poorly

Agreed, Pasalic to be fair has been key in firing Atalanta to top 6 in Serie A.

Will have him here ahead of Barkley.

Wonder if he can get a work permit.  That’s always been the issue with him having a chance to stay.  Seems likely to make the move to Atalanta permanent.

He Scored against AC Milan today. Atalanta had the chance to sign him for £15m at the start of the season. They probably wish they had taken up on that offer!

Tomori looking very nervy

Seems like he will be joining Atalanta permanently this summer for about 15 million.

Adding more money to our transfer budget!

2 assists for Mario so far against Valencia tonight .... given some of the dross we've had in midfield over the years, it's strange he's never been given a chance here ...

I thought the problem has always been getting a work permit for him?

His stats are similar to Willians and we know what people think of Willian. If anyone tells me they watch atalanta regularly I will call them a liar, we also only judge players on goals and assists.

Assists might be generous. He made two passes that resulted in cracking individual efforts.

I think dkw is right, work permits were a problem.

Pasalic is a central midfielder ... so I'm not sure there is any value in comparing to Willian, other than in demonstrating Willian's poor output for a forward ... !

It is official. First outgoing transfer.
I believe about 15 mil Euro?

[Argo]

He could be a CL winner this season.

In the likely event of us failing to turn our tie vs Bayern around i'll be rooting for him and Atalanta.

It’s nice to see all the experts on Facebook not understanding why he never played for us. They’re a complete embarrassment.

I always get confused by the facebook comments... Pretty much always a completely different point of view to mine and prone to hysteria.

Decent little chunk of change we got for someone that realistically was never gonna play for us, good luck to him!
