He’s good on the wing relative to what Allegri likes. He’s good at running into spaces, good hold up play, and presses well. His pace isn’t all that though so not sure he profiles as a prototypical wing.
di maria on a one year bosman deal makes a ton of sense, especially if it means they can move money around to the midfield. I’m a Zaniolo guy but give me di Maria and a top mid over him any day.
Is that even a serious question? One guy is a proven winner who scores and assists consistently for one of the top teams in world football. The other is an overrated Italian mini jabroni playing for Sass. It's not even a fair contest.
