Pizy 18,909 Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 As long as he doesn't look like a terrified deer in the headlights and can play simple passes he'll be better than Baba. Could be huge signing if he settles well. Imagine Hazard with an actual skilled LB on his side. Plus having the work rate of both Willian and Azpi on one side would be terrific. Let's see if Conte has the balls to drop Ivanovic. Neither of our last two managers did. He dropped Cesc so I have a bit more faith. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need to have actually played well to get that tag; it's not enough to just have played in the league. He assisted for the equalizer against Chelsea in 2014 when we lost 1-2 and dropped out of the title race. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I'll change my wording from PL proven to PL experienced. It is a big point with people here that the player can keep up with PL and I think it's encouraging he has played in the league.

Jase 43,479 Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 He's starting for Fiorentina against Chievo. Kick off at 7:45pm UK time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Mak 4,459 Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 Initial impressions are that he seems a bit gangly and cumbersome. Not sure why we don't just sign Rodriguez; younger, cheaper, probably better than an ex-Bolton/Sunderland player and can deliver quality crosses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

akgw13 867 Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 I am excited for this move. A back four of:       Kante Alonso X Zouma Azpi lets hope a miracle happens and we bring in a CB + zouma gets healthy. That is athleticism across the board.

Styles 9,790 Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 This is possibly the worst highlights video I've ever seen. I'm questioning if this is actually a parody? Maybe an ex-girlfriend that's still upset made this video. We really gave up Baba for this? Just keep Azpi at LB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Colored Sky 1,807 Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 Playing in back 3. His distrubution is very good. He is quite quick. The two things I picked in 20 minutes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
