now we all know what happens
- if the deal goes through by the reported price, he'll end up being zeki fryers 2.0
- if we don't sign him, he'll become the british van dijk in 2 years
The exact same happened with Romero. And, in Bastoni's case, it comes from Daniele Longo — that works for calciomercato, known for being an agent's mouthpiece in Italy. Definitely a PR move.
Watching a couple of Bastoni matches after spending a week tracking players on minor leagues in Brazil for my club's u23 side and jesus, how good is this guy. Such a composed defender, providing a physical and technical dominance at the back, and, out of the blue, showing up in the final third...
Football scout for a couple of Brazilian clubs here. Just watched some matches featuring Tomiyasu (enjoying the weekend, clearly) and I'm bringing some of my views on him. Standing at 1,88m, his physicality will never be a problem - great biotype, with long legs and a strong upper body. He...
