Report stating Fiorentina looking increasing unlikely to stump up the money for the option to buy for Cutrone.

It's a shame for him, he really hasn't had much luck. In which case he needs to come back and get some football. or head out for another loan.

In any case the chances of us recouping the 16mil looks to have taken a big hit.

Might need him as backup to Raul.

I have to be honest Tom I have little sympathy for Cutrone. He needs to learn some professionalism and get back to the training ground as he has some ability. But when three different managers move you on in less than two seasons then sooner or later peeps are going to wonder if you have the right attitude to succeed?! let's hope he proves me wrong 👍.

I agree mate. I do think a lot is in his own hands now. I loved his attitude and work rate on the pitch, always felt there was a good player in there somewhere. I never liked reading about him mentioning Nuno that he "proffered his favourites" . I just think it's a shame he didn't turn out like we wanted/ hoped.

I thought that they have an obligation to buy in 2021.

Read more into it. He has a clause that states the obligation to buy is activated after 26 starts. He currently has 11. That was from few months back. Not saying that as dead cert facts. Article from italian site.

Not sure why you think it is the player's fault and not financial issues or a new manager with a different playing style that are the cause.
Nuno was wrong about more than one striker. He doesn't know strikers or offense.
Pedro Goncalves let go for free is doing reasonably well now and worth over 6 million by some reports.

Rafa Mir is doing well now playing in Portugal's first division and some of Spain's biggest teams want him, reportedly.
Patrick actually scored relatively well considering the minutes that he was given. He had fallen into the same situation that Traore finds himself in. He doesn't play the style Nuno prefers and so was considered a sub at best until he changed his entire style to suit Nuno.

Old, there is a clause that says he has to make 26 starts in order to trigger the "must buy" clause. He's currently at 12, I think.
They may try t buy him but pay less or just take a pass on it.

Maurizio Sarri is being tipped for a future move to Fiorentina - maybe he can help Cutrone rejuvenate his career?

Don't forget Rafa Mir wasn't even able to break into Forest's team so I think it unlikely that Nuno has missed out there. We do, however, seem to struggle to get a convincing back up to Raul.

Anyone coming to back up Raul just isn't going to get the game time. Absolute beast. Unarguably the main man.

I think it's a tough one for any team to fill. Especially when he doesn't miss a game.

I'd Stick with the young lad Fabio all of Nunos others have come good more often than not.

Totally agree, TT. Whether you are Cutrone, Fabio, Corbeanu or anyone, it's difficult to get more than 5 minutes game time, with that pesky Raul. He's never injured, runs all day and night, works el socks off all over the pitch and our most likely goalscorer! We are so lucky that we have several players with the same attitude. Trust in Nuno!

Right so he scored 2 goals in 12 League appearances is that a good return for a striker then, cause I'm not convinced. And why do I say he's unprofessional because he acted that way when he moved! His own words from his FIRST interview at Fiorentina
"The truth is that the coach, Nuno Espirito Santo, had his group of faithful players who he would not give up, those who won promotion from the Championship.

“He was totally fixated on that XI, always the same XI, and couldn’t see any of the other players in the squad"

So after just 4 months of trying he felt he should have started over Raul despite Raul outscoring him! He doesn't reflect on the fact that it may have just been that he hadn't been able to adapt in such a short time no instead it was all Nunos fault! Well as I've already pointed out that's now four managers that have moved him on, so was it all of their faults and nothing to do with his attitude?! Behave! Add to this he made these comment on his first day of a LOAN, openly slagging off the manager that you are STILL contracted to is beyond foolish not to mention childish! Also when we bought him he was seen as a BIG prospect in Italy but Milan were happy to let him go for less than £20m, I wonder why that might be if his attitudes spot on, seems odd for such a young prospect doesn't it?!
He's another Wilshire for me, when he's asked why he's not in the team its EVERYONES fault but his own! Oh also he was talking nonsense, he said Nuno stuck with the team that got promoted but Raul wasn't in that team! Nuno picks the players he does cause they buy into the idea of a Pack and work hard to earn there place! Inevitably some players won't get that and fall by the wayside BUT when that happens again and again for one player with different managers then at some point surely they need to take a look at themselves?! Did you see Podence or Neto chucking thier toys out when he wasn't starting them last season? No, which is why they've now earnt their place. The strength of the wolf is in the pack, its that simple really!

Ps- so Nuno doesn't know strikers or offence yet has managed to put together the front line he has for the relative buttons that he has?! Doesn't add up Timmy! You go tell Liverpool that Nuno can't pick a good attacker, they will probs laugh as hard as I did! 😂.

12 league appearances of 3 minutes each or what. Do the math and he was scoring fairly well. And some of the shots on goal were saved by excellent reflex action by the opposing goalie so he could have had even more.
And even though we have all of these great forwards, we ain't scoring.
What does that tell you?

Diogo goes to Liverpool and is scoring for fun. What does that tell you?
Nuno is a goalie and couldn't see all the way to the other team's goal to see what was happening.

Oh Timmy where to start?! Firstly I will do the maths if you do the English, there is NO such thing as math! There is maths and there is mathematics but no math I'm afraid. Next he actually made 24 apps in all comps, 10 of which were in the Europa and were starts so your made up call of three minutes is just nonsense! 19 games for Fiorentina and just 4 goals, were they all imaginary 3 minute apps as well then?!
I do wish you would pick a position to argue and stick with it cause you seem to be arguing your own point here?! So we aren't scoring which according to you is because of the players not being good enough but yet when Jota goes to Pool he scores for fun that's because he is good enough?! Which is it Timmy? So you telling me you don't rate Raul then? You'd be the ONLY person that doesn't! 🤣.

Nb- that should say '10 of which were in Europe SOME of which was starts' would seem I need to work on my own English! 🙈.
