[Albion] Nicolo Zaniolo

[macbeth]

don't think we could do the wages for this one due to west ham/spurs interest but would be a really nice idea otherwise

He has scored against RDZ’s Sassoulo so him and his staff will know a lot about him what with him being Italian etc.

However, he has had some big injuries. He does not strike me as a Brighton signing in terms of competing with Spuds, West Sham and Newcastle for the signatue, especially if he has fallen out with folk at Roma. But if RDZ wants him, I’d assume that he’d be a great fit at 23 yrs old. €25 could be a club record signing?

No thanks, done both of his acl's and he is what, 24? Not to mention out of our wage range and possibly bigger clubs wanting him.

 

[Swansman]

Would be a highly remarkable signing. Struggled with a bunch of injuries but a class player. €25m sounds a bit too cheap.

 

[deletebeepbeepbeep]

Yes please

would just point out that you become a lot more likely to do your second ACL once you've done the first. happened to ings, wilson too I think, and is currently happening to kalajdzic at wolves. the fact he's on the other side of both injuries is a lot better

Sure, point taken. But I'd rather invest that sort of money (hypothetically) on someone with a better injury record personally.

It's proper weird being linked with players I've signed on Football Manager.

Bamba Dieng the other day, now Zaniolo.

 

[Mancgull]

Yes please

Someone like Solly March ?

 

[Farehamseagull]

Would be a an incredible signing for us. Lovely player.

 

[Austrian Gull]

Saw him play in Verona in October. He was diving all over the place. Roma took him off for his own safety - Hellas players were taking it in turns to give him a whack.

Very skilful and talented player.

You've lost me.
Or are you implying that March had some injuries and it has worked out too?

Solly has done both ACLs and looks like he’s in the form of his life. ACLs used to potentially end or curtail a career, but not anymore if the right rehab is done.

Ah fair enough. For the record, this zaniolo has looked great, especially in the cf/am position.
But just have trepidations over spending big money on players with such records is all.
But always trust in bloom of course.

 

[The Fits]

Well, that would make a statement wouldn't it? To swap him for Trossard would be a great bit of business.

 

[Mackenzie]

Unlikely as I’ve actually heard of this one.

 

[Silverhatch]

My Roma spies (i.e. mate who’s a Roma supporter with a local ear to the ground) says we’re sniffing. DeZerbi a big factor.

 

[deletebeepbeepbeep]

Vicente esque in terms of his skill factor, if we are interested hopefully less so in terms of inujries.

 

[brighton_tom]

How long ago were the injuries?
