I do have a feeling that we aren’t really wild on any of the current CD options available on our budget so you could be right that we are just going to pass on that. I still would be surprised tho if we got Zaniolo. I just don’t see it. But here’s hoping.Said it earlier but as a Moura replacement and initial option off the bench then I can see the reasoning behind bringing him in. He can certainly beat a man and that's exactly what we are missing. If he recaptures his form from last season, he may even get a regular starting spot so its low risk, high reward.
I'm all for him coming in IF Conte is happy to have him in the squad and IF it doesn't affect the Porro and Zaniolo deals. From a brief conversation this afternoon, it seems that we are still pushing ahead with those deals so let's cross our fingers because a Jan window of Danjuma, Porro and Zaniolo is very solid.
Would be a shame that we again fail to strengthen at the back which is our biggest problem, but the Summer may throw up some better opportunities for us with contract situations etc....
