Exactly, he is no superstar but those teams are not brimming with superstars
McTominay (Out) | announced - signed for Napoli

As of now, Casemiro is the better DM, Wharton has potential but he will be found out playing for us.
Conte likes his big man up top doesn’t he
What we require from our DM, is something that Casemiro is not capable of delivering. Covering A LOT of ground usually is a tough ask for washed midfielders. So Wharton is already a better player for us and that’s before we go through all of his other impressive qualities.
Wharton may well be starting for us in a few years. JWP, Paqueta, Soucek, Doucoure, Eze, Kamada etc are all better midfielders than McTominay, in whatever role. Doesn't mean I'd want them at United, except for Wharton and Eze, just as I dont want McTominay at United.
Even further down the table at Fulham and Wolves McTominay would/will struggle to start regularly as a holding or box-to-box midfielder. If Fulham sign him to replace Palhinha they are in for such a rude awakening.
Conte is always on time.
I don't really see how a loan deal achieves anything unless it includes an obligation to buy for the same sort of fee we want this summer. Italian teams love a good scavenger hunt.
He’d be in and out of the team somewhere like West Ham and I don’t know if any Premier League team would be prepared to play him in the same way Scotland do week in week out. That’s his best role as a starter.
I’d imagine most clubs would see him as a utility player who could add a few goals and is also useful from the bench. That’s why teams value him and 15-20m and not 30m plus.
In this article it says Napoli also offered Brighton £8.6m for Billy Gilmour
They might up their offer to £12m for McTominay to us. Feeling generousNot sure they will cough up 20m for him
loan only makes sense with obligation to buy
Fulham did and we turned it down. Hoping they come back in for him.
Not happening to Napoli on a loan.
Straight swap for Kvara. Thanks
We could add Sancho as well
They can go whistle with offering to take him on loan.

We joke but McTominay and Sancho for Kvara would be amazing for us.
Never in a million years would it happen. But a man can dream…
Should’ve accepted Fulham’s offer…
Maybe it’s not too late?
We need quite a few McTominays to get anywhere close to Kvara tbh.
I could be way off the mark, but Scott McTominay making a move to Italy is one of the most unlikely scenarios I can ever envisage.
The pizza in Naples is god tier. Worth it for that alone.
if i was a professional footballer, id love the chance to spend a season or 2 somewhere like Naples. you only have to listen to micah richards reminisce about his stint at fiorentina.
they can always visit wherever they want in the world, but to be in these places as a local footballer cant be replicated.

It depends on if you want to win trophies. If you’ve won trophies then sure no harm. But if you haven’t you want to move to teams that give you a chance of winning.
Every time I've been to Italy it's been the best place for food. I would say any footballer should move there for that reason, but I'm sure Mctominay can probably afford his own personal Italian chef in the North West of England.
If its due to politics and wages like the way it is with Antony over Amad. Yes, he starts!
I don’t see Napoli splashing 25m on McT of all players.. for Italian clubs that’s a decent amount of money.. unless Conte sees something we don’t in Scotty
Fulham offered 20m and we said no so we’re definitely expecting minimum 25m
Unless it’s an obligation to buy, I don’t get why we’re even entertaining any conversations with Napoli and wasting our time

McT to Napoli would be an entertaining transfer to say the least.
Big Scott in Napoli. Now there is a transfer I would never have imagined
Straight swap for Osimhen or no deal, goal scorer for a goal scorer sounds fair.
Accept whatever they throw at us.
Shouldnt have rejected 20M, when there were no other serious suitors for him. Rookie mistake.
I think he'd do surprisingly well in Italy. If he wants to go, we should be looking to find a way to make it happen.
He's probably achieved everything he's going to here, 250 games won a couple of cups and going out with a FA cup final win.
I'm supportive of letting former youth team players go and build careers elsewhere if they want to, wouldn't want to hold him back for a small sum of money.

He'd be a beast in Italy.
Waiting for Osimhein to Chelsea to go through
He starts on ability and what he’d bring to those team
Might hurt short term but it was the right call.
We need to stop being pushovers in the market and that means putting your foot down and being tough, doesn’t matter how desperate you are.
