I agree Olmo is excellent. Very intelligent player who play’s between the lines really well. He would balance nicely with Kulu on the right and is versatile enough to play ether side. For some reason tho I just don’t see Conte wanting him, aside from probably costing a bomb, I feel like he’s too much of a playmaker for Conte. Would love to be wrong tho as would love him.
Thanks mate as always. Yeah I saw a highlight reel and he does look like a penalty waiting to happen. Yeah must be agent talk as sounds like he’s not what we need.
"If he plays anything like he has in previous season".
no shot, he wants all of the money. I wouldn't be shocked if its PSG or just straight up going to a Saudi team
I think he's one of those players that has the skillset to be converted to multiple positions. I can see him as a #10 in our system dropping deep but he's also fast enough to play as a typical WF and I'd also say down the middle either as a 9 or an attacking 8.
Is this the widest range of reactions on any post here?
We’ve had the full set before.
It’s not a full set but there’s still time!
Am I the only one that would be disappointed with this and see it as a waste of money? Malinonskyi is not the level we need to compete at all
A dozen other attacking midfielders that if we signed them in the summer we would have more points. He’s still not the level required
As a back up of Kulusevsky he is ok. Till next summer. Trix mentioned (as far as I understand) that they are looking for candidates for a long term. That is why I am not sure we are after him. Probably, if we are for Porro and cannot afford expensive RWF, then it makes sense.
Nope, I’m completely with you. Having seen a lot of him I really don’t think he’d be suited to the PL or Conte’s tactics. Even as a cheap short term option it doesn’t make sense. I’m surprised so many really rate him on here, sure he has a good highlight reel but game to game I don’t find him particularly special. I could see him being another player we would struggle to offload in a season or two. If he was our only option I’d personally rather give Gil more game time as we actually own him and it would be good to know if he has a place here or not. But really, I can see us going back for Zaniolo.
Because he’s got a hammer of a left foot and a great freekick. But I agree, I went out my way to watch him and was not impressed. He is slow, poor mobility and looks very lazy. Maybe it’s because he’s unhappy but he didn’t do anything of note the few times I watched him. I don’t want to waste wages and a fee on someone not for the long term. He is the same kind of player as maddison who I would much more welcome.
I’m curious @SWMart why the WTF rating, would be interested to hear why you think he would be a good signing for us from what you have seen of him?
I’m going to guess it was accidental.
He meant WTF that is so informative my mind is blown
