Now he's done it, too!
Thanks, this is exactly what we need.Very complete (ball playing)DM/CM hybrid.
Off the top of my head, think Vieira
Btw he's not close to juventus at all as of yet
He was great in serie A too though! His stats per 90 over the past year, playing as a deeper midfielder, as percentile rank compared to other midfielders around the big 5 leagues (with a comparison of Toni Kroos in there too):Problem is he has so played against Turkey and Switzerland which is equivalent to a low ranked PL team / top Championship team. Problem with international tournaments these days is that so much dross is allowed to get to the finals. Euros used to be great, now it is a waiting game to get to the last 8.
Because Serie A clubs don't have money like PL clubs do so they get them relatively cheap.How the feck do Juve keep buying players when they allegedly have no money?
Our midfield looks mediocre against low rank PK teams tooProblem is he has so played against Turkey and Switzerland which is equivalent to a low ranked PL team / top Championship team.

He bossed the netherlands too in nations leagueProbably wait for Italy to play a half competent team before making an assessment on him from such a small sample size. Of course those who have been following him for a long time will have a totally different perspective, but games against Turkey and Switzerland are hardly good barometers to go by.
What midfielder's he can be compared with and would he work well in midfield two and if yes what should be the profile of his midfield partner.He bossed the netherlands too in nations league
Sounds like the real deal from all the posters who have watched him over more than two games against dire opponents. Will be an interesting player to follow through the knockout rounds.He bossed the netherlands too in nations league
Too low for usAvailable for 40m Euro's apparently
There was an Italian poster on here who said that Italian men are mummy's boys and that they'll choose to stay near said Mother if at all possible. I don't know how true that is but I never get excited about buying this or that Italian player because if seldom seems to happen.He’ll stay in Italy.
Yeah, I don’t know how true that is, but seems to me the majority of great Italian players seem to stay in Italy.There was an Italian poster on here who said that Italian men are mummy's boys and that they'll choose to stay near said Mother if at all possible.

Also the big worry of whether they settle or wish to remain in England beyond a year or two. Your Zola's and Vialli's - who took to English culture like ducks to water - are few and far between.There was an Italian poster on here who said that Italian men are mummy's boys and that they'll choose to stay near said Mother if at all possible.

Barella is probably better in the role/position they had yesterday. The interesting thing with Locatelli is that the position/role he had yesterday is not the one he usually plays. But he came in, and did it like that. Normally, he would have the position/role Jorginho had yesterday. It will be interesting to see when Verratti gets back if Locatelli gets to play further back. In my opinion, it suits him even better (or it makes him more special anyway).I like Barella more, both are quality though.
Is Veratti’s place guaranteed? If so who does he replace?Barella is probably better in the role/position they had yesterday.

I wouldn't say it´s guaranteed, but before the Euro, Mancini have played Barella - Jorginho - Verratti.Is Veratti’s place guaranteed? If so who does he replace?
I'd say it should be, he's up there with any midfielder in world football. Jorginho, Barella, Locatelli are all excellent but none are close to Verratti level.Is Veratti’s place guaranteed? If so who does he replace?
we can bring his Ma over too if that's a problemThere was an Italian poster on here who said that Italian men are mummy's boys and that they'll choose to stay near said Mother if at all possible.

Nope. He's playing the same role he plays for SassuoloBarella is probably better in the role/position they had yesterday.

I disagree, but respect your opinion.He's playing the same role he plays for Sassuolo
Their wage bill must be through the fecking roof. I can't see many (any?) takers for the likes of Ronaldo and Ramsey.How the feck do Juve keep buying players when they allegedly have no money?
I forgot about him. How has he been this season? 45 million would get him I’d say.We should look at players like him, Neuhaus, Aour who can add some quality on the ball to our midfield
