Italy surely must have an array of attacking options, why are they picking a striker from little old Southampton.
Amazing how far we've come tbh. Or, how low Italy have fallen, depending on your point of view.
This is probably why we won't sack Pellegrino mid season, unless we really are out of form and in big trouble. I imagine our likely targets will be at a club.
But also you have to consider that perhaps our targets don't want to leave their clubs mid season either.

Mention for Southampton and Bednarek in particular. Bit of a weird transfer - surely we should loan him out in January.
Monaco paid £10M for him. Not a bad signing, assuming Monaco would accept a similar fee for him.
Brighton were linked with him before he went to Monaco too.
Working with the Scottish FA, he's their interim assistant manager.

You have to laugh at this quote
""I have to plead a little bit of ignorance because it is so quick down in the Premier League, you are constantly looking at the opposition."
