Its going to be absurd if we lose him to Arsenal

To look for "another Locatelli or Barella" or Barella coming up we can look at he U21. The midfield there is also very interesting. Pobega (Milan loaned to Spezia), Rovella (ours loaned to Genoa) and Ricci (Empoli) are really promising.

You just don't watch him, he has been showing this for two years. As for national team matches, he was dominant vs the Netherlands in his debut

When they leave for bigger money at bigger clubs they are called mercenaries, when they stay and show loyalty they are called pussies.

It's most matches for 2 years, for both Sassuolo and Italy.

Is everyone convinced now?

Excellent player!

Only in this forum is Locatelli's best position considered regista. He always plays mezzala for Mancini, the one time he played regista was his first bad match for Italy. At Sassuolo he plays vertically, in a double pivot.

Rovella would do great Sassuolo, we need a buy back option if that is the case

Locatelli is a top talent and a consistent performer already at his age. He isn't the new Pirlo but no one is. Mistake to not sign him. Also these 60m prices are just media BS, he won't be that expensive, probably 40m I guess. Buffon, Chiellini, Bonucci, Barzagli. When the rock of the national...

Best player tonight. 120 touches, was fine in the first half as regista vs Lithuania, controlled the match, was better in the second half ad left mezzala with Sensi coming in to play in the middle. Particularly nice were his long balls, created a lot of chances, gave the assist for Sensi's...

Just came in for Italy and curled in a nice goal

At Sassuolo he drops back and also goes forward, its more vertical. A difference to playing in a midfield two or as the anchor in a midfield 3. Magnanelli or Obiang have stayed back more often compared to the more vertical he has. First time seeing this site but it seems good, came up now as I...

He has the tools to play it better than Bentancur and Rabiot no doubt. Its also why Mancini played him there in Jorginho's absence. He is a good fit. He normally plays more mobile and more free than Mancini's regista allows though, and it limits some of his skills. Basically the team was built...

Yeah not a good match from him. Also put of position, first match he has played as regista for Italy, looked less comfortable. Maybe this convinces people that he isnt a "Busquets type" player.

About Thiago being an AM, or Locatelli being a DM. To show with stats See the clear difference in profile with proper attacking midfielders like Eriksen (in Spurs) and Bruno fernandes. Thiago's numbers are better than Locatelli's but the profile is similar of the first two players, and the...

Thiago is not a 10, nor does he play AM for Bayern. Thiago played in the double pivot of a 4-2-3-1 for Flick. Thomas Muller plays the "AM" role. When Muller is not playing the 10 but playing more on the wing, Goretzka plays the 10. The season before last, when Muller wasn't occupying the AM...
