[Albion] Domenico Berardi

[The Wookiee]

Apparently the deal to take him from Ze Zerbi’s old club Sassuolo to Juventus has fallen through.

He is one of De Zerbi’s favourite players, can you see him signing for us in this window and if so where would he fit in ?

 

[The Wizard]

We have enough attacking players, last week Enciso, Ferguson and Adingra couldn’t get into our starting lineup.

We desperately need cover in central midfield.

And full backs!

This!

The fact we’ve been linked with Kudus & Palmer suggest De Zerbi disagrees.

It’s not binary though….if the right player is available at the right price and is an upgrade on something we have, we might well sign him. Doesn’t mean we aren’t looking at players for other positions at the same time.

A left footed right winger like those two and someone De Zerbi absolutely loves.

The issue would be him playing second fiddle to March? Palmer is very young so would not expect to be 1st choice and Kudus can play in multiple positions.

That said, if RDZ requested him, how could the club say no?

 

[ChickenBaltiPie]

Isn’t it bizarre the transition we’ve gone through from a club that has always had a wealth of defensive talent and yet always struggled to attract offensive players.

Attacking midfielders rather than strikers.

Berardi is a left footed winger who plays on the right?

 

[Munchkin]

€30m for a 29 year old? No thanks.

As an italian, I was (am) thinking the same thing.

Palmer only wants to move to be a regular starter.

Not anywhere near Solly currently.

 

[sparkie]

Sing him up Tony, P-BOBE and Roberto.

Roll the dice.

This season is a shot at immortality. They don't come around too often.

He looks physically like March. He is left-handed and plays on the right. He is very fast, both in brain and legs. He takes penalties well and is better than Solly at taking set pieces on the edge of the box (a weak point of Albion, especially after MacAl's exit). In a very long season as hopefully it will be (PL, EL, FA, Carabao - maybe I'm forgetting a few), Berardi would be a luxury replacement who would easily find many minutes to play. The problem is that Sassuolo doesn't want 30 million euros, but 35. I think it would be an added value for the team, but perhaps it costs too much. I think RDZ thought about it. Domenico currently refuses to train with his team. Perhaps he thinks of Juventus, perhaps of Brighton. I do not know.

There are many videos about him on YT, you have just to choice. I only send one, then I shut up and eclipse myself forever (just joking). Happy for BHA!

 

[um bongo molongo]

And the fact that Mitoma in particular plays pretty much every minute (and Solly close to). I think we do need more one proper winger for a (hopefully) 50-60 game season.

True, we’ve only got Gross, Gilmour, Dahoud, Lallana, Milner, Alzate, Bunnanotte, Ayari with Moder and Moran as extra cover

But not a physical defensive midfielder in the Caicedo mould. Baleba is probably the one.
