I’d be surprised if Zaniolo has been able to pass the dickhead test. In terms of cost, expectation of salary, entitlement and injury record, he really wasn’t a fit was he.
We ‘make’ players with the skill level of Zaniolo now, we don’t buy them once another team has ruined them.
The lack of the cover for left footed defenders is a bit worrying. However, with Moder back soon and perhaps Facundo and Ayari getting some action, we should be fine in every other position.
The summer will be interesting. Lots of players back from lone for RDZ to assess. I can see Alzate back...
