It's a good pickup from a sinking Empoli.
We should try to get Bennacer back, see if Empoli bite. They might struggle to pay his wages in Serie B.
How do we let a baller like him leave for 1m? Liverpool would have marketed and sold him for 20m.
No idea Clrnc, but it's a little damning that we gave up on him so quickly while we were stockpiling Elnenys in the first team squad.
Bloke's a good footballer; essentially what people thought Torreira was last summer when they christened him "Santi Kanté". Bennacer is not the finished product but there's good potential in him, and I think Napoli are eager to get him alongside Di Lorenzo. They almost got him in January. Rumour in Italy is that we still have a first buy option though, and if we do I hope we use it. There's a drive in his football that appeals to me. I think we're going to miss that trait badly without Ramsey.
