That's what they get for building on a nature reserve. Diana is displeased.

He reminds me of Pjaca, big physical player who will always suffer badly.

Italy medic says "severe sprain" to the other knee so we'll see what the scans say. This kind of thing also happens with significant injuries, it's often from compensation.

Zaniolo is coming back from serious injury. Bundesliga is more open league for AMs.

Actually he reminds me of Peter Ndlovu, the Bulawayo Bullet, the way he flies through midfield with that silky control.

And the knees of Pjaca.

Just came here to say the same thing (not for the first time). A tall AM with close control who seems to run faster with the ball than without it. He's a potentially special player as long as fitness and mentality allow it. God knows how much he would cost.

Sounds like he should bring a cushion.

Places from recent memory in my experience were central Europe (Hungary, Czech, Slovakia), and I've also experienced it more in Greece, Cyprus and Turkey. Living in the UK I can also tell you that Albanians and Kosovans smoke a lot. Everywhere also tends to be highest in guys under 50...

In his age group, yeah. In fact males under 50 it's pretty high, but compared to some European countries Italy is not that bad.

Well he was good while he was here, but you don't get any loyalty from players like that.

TBH I haven't seen anything other than a good attitude from Rabiot since he's been here, at least on the pitch. He is far harder working than I imagined he would be.

WTF, really?

He doesn't sound like a big troublemaker, but the professional side of the game is a bit trickier to instil in these modern young players who have everything so early. Zaniolo probably thinks he's made it already.

A young bandiera being criticised for his attitude by the coach and other players? I'd say something is wrong there. There was also the case during the Euro U21 where he and Balotelli got dropped for a game (and subsequently not called for the Nazionale) for disciplinary issues, so it seems...

Sounds like his head is elsewhere. Worryingly shitty attitude, given it's not the first time he has had disciplinary problems.

"Thanks for getting me fit, I'm going to fuck off now. Ciao"

I read that it was an ACL rupture and some damage to the meniscus. But that's quite common with an ACL injury that there is some damage.

The only downside to him is the ACL injury, otherwise he ticks every box.
