Happy with that. No point loaning him out to sit on their bench unless its gonna be a full long-term sale.

May mean we get a CB in and loan a striker as cover for DCL.

If we can get our money back and find a capable replacement, then he will probably leave.

I kind of hope he stays though

Seems like he will go alright, just not clicking here.

We do need an alternative in, the upside being that, as with our other signings this year, we should be able to get ourselves a decent upgrade.

Can see us moving for Zaha. Provides options up front

Think we’ll regret this, he has talent, but if he won’t settle under Carlo then he’s never going to settle.

Reminds me a bit of Lookman situation. We hung on, but the lad wanted out.

Kean will do very well, but probably just not quite meant to be here if he were to go, which is a shame.

agreed. Sometimes players just don't fit leagues and clubs despite obvious talent. I think Kean falls into that camp.

He needs game time, He'll never get it here because DCL cannot stop scoring.
It was worth signing him because he's a talented lad but someone like him needs to be playing every week.

In a team like this at the moment I would be happy with Zaha as a Moise replacement. DCL, Richy and Zaha can all do the CF role (perhaps in different ways).

brieverton · October 1, 2020

There is a human element to this too, it can't be easy for a young man with money and temptations, and trying to settle in a foreign country.

That is exacerbated by the covid environment as well. He may just not be happy in himself and his surroundings and want to go home and be nearer his family.

We can't incur a loss on him though, so as long as we recoup our money as far as I'm concerned he would leave with my best wishes.

Very weird move for everyone if it’s back to Juve. Talks of a loan and being bought next summer so no real money for us this summer. He goes to be 3rd choice at best to not play much. We have to replace him for probably as much as we’ll get for him. Would’ve thought if he was gonna leave anywhere it would’ve been to a “lesser” team on loan to get more minutes.

Didn’t see us effectively selling him this summer at all but I guess if it frees up squad space and wages it works. May be an unpopular opinion but seeing as he wasn’t really contributing and we’re stuck with Tosun until January at least I’d be throwing him in the squad unless we’re looking for a direct replacement. Prefer relying on Tosun to play up top as a backup rather than Walcott or pushing Simms too far too quick before he’s ready.

I think Juve needed to sell him last summer because of the amount of forwards they have rather than wanting to sell him. Moise probably thought he was coming here to be a regular starter and it hasn’t materialised. He’d probably rather be on the bench at Juve.
