Nicolò Zaniolo

[mdharris]

I’d like to see Zaniolo at Spurs. His powerful running could really be something that Kane can get the best out of.

I hope we can get this over the line. Antonio wants him it seems and every time Kulu gets a knock I worry he's off for a few weeks

His powerful running would be a perfect addition to rotate son out. Hope we get this done

I dunno but I've kinda decided (with no real foundation) that he'll be better more centrally and further back.
I'm leaning towards a 352 with Sonny sat on the bench.
Ideally Kane and Richy up top but I'm not sure where that leaves Deki, maybe rwb ish?
I've not wanted to take him away from that rwf position but maybe needs must.

 

[cliff jones]

not hugely bothered about this- want to see Porro done.

Going toe to toe with Milan- our revenue is not far off double theirs!

Doesn't mean a toss if Conte wants him ! Does he want to leave Italy ?? That's what you all want to ask yourselves!!!

All we have to go on is the ITK that has told us yes he wants to come here.

We've had ITK saying he wants to come and Roma would rather sell to us than Milan. I don't think it can be much clearer than that.

Time will tell and will much clearer ?

It will. Let's revisit this when he signs for us ?

I asked myself amd I said yes

I've deliberately not watched any highlights or anything of this guy or Porro (superstitious!) so reading the thread has been a bit eek based on the pros and cons. Saying that, it's exactly what we saw for Bentancur and Deki so i'm CHOOSING to see this as a good sign.

OH lord do we need an injection of quality and energy right now and it's great to hear there is positive movement. I think we are all desperate for us to sign anyone at this stage!

 

[KILLA_SIN]

Think the lack of options on the bench last night really hit home, we had Yves and Richarlison as our only 2 that we could really bring on. 3 CBs on the bench. Zaniolo if hes the one Conte wants is a must

Stop listening to yourself

Yea between Kulu and zaniolo we should be able to have one fit at a time ??

? especially once we get back to 2 games a week again this 5th top AM was something we really should’ve sorted in summer and we paid for it

Thought we would be ok in the summer, but we really lack depth of quality, Think off loading Steve B was a mistake now considering how little cover we have

For him to be such a key signing for Conte, I wonder if he'd actually consider switching up the formation a bit to fit him in? Maybe switch to a 3-5-2/3-4-1-2 with Zaniolo as a kind of hybrid midfielder/forward/ball progressor through the middle?

In reality, he'd probably be used in rotation with Kulusevski, but that makes me wonder why Conte would be so eager to get a player who would largely be used as a backup/rotation option? Like, we obviously need attacking depth, but Kulu is one of the few borderline undroppable players in the squad when fit. And does Zaniolo want to go from starting regularly at Roma to the Spurs bench?

Maybe even Kulu at RWB and Zaniolo right forward?

 

[purple8]

The not seeing value in the deal is the concerning bit.

If Conte wants him (barring a completely unrealistic price) there's complete 'value' in the deal.

Thanks for info

Remember he is not what we need and perma crock, according to half on here lol

Who knows. Apparently he has been misused so who knows what the plan is. Maybe as the CCB doing slalom runs through the opposing team.
