He's an excellent striker except for one issue: abysmal finishing. I don't think I've ever seen a striker improve their finishing into their 20s. You've either got it or you don't. He'll never be prolific for us.

He just has to stop missing sitters. He doesn't create a lot of his own opportunities and his long shooting isn't really a threat. But he gets on the end of so many easy chances and fluffs so many of them. I don't care what the stats say. He has such chronic yips. I don't think it's curable.

Played that Mandzukic style left-wing role pretty well but couldn't even hit the target facing an open goal. He can hustle till the cows come home. Missing clear cut chances is unforgivable for a CF at this level. If only Vlahovic were given those kind of opportunities instead of having to...

There's little doubt he's capable of being their main man up front. His stats are way more impressive than Calvin-Lewin's. I haven't seen Calvin-Lewin play, so can't comment on him generally but he's got three years on Kean, about five times more caps but almost the same amount of goals. It's...

And he posed the same problem that Cancelo did. Not solid in defense.

I can understand, from a tactical point of view, selling Spina. We're opting for full-backs with a more defensive bent - fair enough. But selling Kean without a buy-back was plain idiocy. It's becoming clear that the club is still looking to offload any of Dybala, Higuain and Mandzukic without a...

This is shortsightedness by the board. They know we're in a window - the Ronaldo window - and they want a full list of players in their primes. The notion that the CL isn't an obsession is a nonsense. It's dictating almost all decision making.

Sarri likes the pig-man. What a bummer.

Call me crazy but I see Kean as a legitimate competitor for 2nd CF spot over Mandzukic. He will take over Icardi within a year given the chance. Italians naturally scared to hold him in too high esteem just yet but Mbappe was invested into at the same age. Balotelli was important to a peaking...

Apart from his physique and his black skin are there many similarities to Balotelli at all? Everyone at one time was comparing Pogba to Balotelli :rolleyes2:

How do I get that video to work? It's on private.

It's fair that he should be loaned out. With D. Costa and Bernardeschi, Mandzukic is now Higuain's back up. He's too good not play every week. But Raiola's insistence on loaning him to an obscure league like the Eredivisie (because it's apparently a very tactical league?) is a bit fishy. Raiola...

lol why doesn't he go buy his own tractors with the bucket loads of money his son's going to earn?

That post Pogba inferiority complex.

Amadeo Amadei made his professional debut on 2 May 1937 with A.S. Roma at age 15, 9 months and 6 days (the youngest debut in Serie A history). A week later he scored in a 5–1 defeat to A.S. Lucchese Libertas 1905 making him the youngest scorer in Serie A history, a record he holds to this day...
