No such thing as a new Buffon, but he looks to have a great pedigree. He's been playing for the first team of a Romanian second division side since he was 15? Obviously his size helped there, but you don't play that young without considerable talent and nerve.
I am glad that Juve finally has another Romanian player but signing a 16 year old GK seems a bit of a long shot. I guess time will tell.
Some more info about him from the Romanian press: his favorite GK is van der Saar, he plans on replacing Buffon in 3 yearslol, and he went to Aston Villa more than a year ago for tests but got rejected.
