Huge credit is due to Percassi for what's been going on at Atalanta these past 14 years. It's not just that they have punched above their weight for much of that time, especially recently, it's more that the club has moved into a higher weight category altogether. With the stadium and the transfer model they have Atalanta are now one of the seven sisters, a remarkable achievement considering when I first started watching Italian football they were a Bari, Lecce sort of yo-yo club.

Even now it's only been 13 years since they were last in Serie B, and when you consider what they have done compared to a similarly sized club like Udinese who have a 30+ year run in the top-flight, it's pretty momentous.

Kalulu wants bigger role at Juve than what he can get at Milan but Juve can't promise him that. He doesn't want to go there just on loan but wants Juve to commit to him. Giuntoli masterclass with the defence (mercato).

He probably fears Juve have no intention to redeem him and he's just a stop gap (which is probably the case). So he would rather play his chances at Milan or go somewhere else instead of wasting a year of his career.

Now i read Atalanta are trying to hijack the deal.

Chiesa is the ugliest and cheapest junkie streetwhore for Rube atm. They will literally exchange him for a jar of italian meatballs in the last day of August. Just to not see him signing for us in January!

Atalanta are doing well in the mercato, they just managed to close Samardzic signing. Though I wouldn't count that until his dad publicly confirms it

They have lost too many players, especiallyin attack. Scamacca is done for the season, Koopmeiners is on the verge of joining Juve, Lookman wants to leave, Toure seems close to Stuttgart.

Yeah to me they look like a mess atm. Too many new players and players leaving they didn't want to let go like Lookman + Koop (and Scamacca out for a long time). They have as heavy schedule as us till next June.

Injuries & key players wanting to leave for big clubs always a headache for a club of Atalanta's size. But look at the way they are handling it, Samardzic (25m), Wesley (20m), Brescianini (13m), Retegui (22m), Sulemana (8m), Zaniolo (4m), & Godfrey (10m) already in, and they are actively pursuing Nico Gonzalez & Danso. They are doing their usual and Gasperini will probably get these new players acclimatised into the team in the next few months

I don't agree with all their buys, and they do make mistakes, but overall their mercato & specially the speed of response is impressive

they have money.... so they can move quick we have 12 bananas and 5 players we want to leave to free up budget in wages so we can sign someone.

Then go hey that kid looks interesting. Publicly state hey we are after X player we will make a move once we get rid of 5 other guys we need to get rid of. At that moment other teams jump in and take the player

we are like a high school boy who doesnt have the balls to make a move on the girl who he likes and giving him all the signals because the "time" isnt right or lacks the balls. Then crys because some other dudes smash first haha
