A really solid CB who is defensively safe choice as fullback. Good rotation choice, defenitely better for us to have him option then what we currently do, so a bonus.

But the exaggerating excitement might fool some here who haven't seen him. He is more natural by playing there alot for NT, but he is still just a no nonsense CB playing out wide, he won't attack basically.

There's no indication he was primarily signed as an RB. His versatily might help but I think he replaces Bonucci like for like

If what yall say is true then what an excellent signing. Especially if we are only 2mln for him now. That leaves $ left to get strootman :tuttosport: and us to come into this season with such depth omg :tuttosport: such dacdical flexibility

i have to admit, i know absolutely nothing about him other than what i seen from him with the national team, where he looked really solid and strong.

Hope he will give us superiority, not only in his pure ubermensch bloodline but also with his great physique.

Me like wery-mach(T).

I think we use him like Lichtsteiner against Genoa.

The 3-4-3, 4-2-3-1 hybrid formation.

When we have time to set our defence it will be a 4-4-2 but in attack he will stay back and it will be a 3-4-3.

IMO It's exactly what we need. An Experienced no nonsense with a leader attitude defender, so I'll gladly take him.

Oh and I don't think we're getting him for the RB spot. Something tells me MdS and Licht are the best we'll have to field for now and this guy will be one of our starters CB. We've been conceding quite a lot so far this season (pre season included) so as much as I love our boy Raguno, defenders get better with experience and this guy got plenty.

Yeah, that's what I'm thinking.

We've conceded a few from the right so that's why I think he will be the RB. Sandro needs to get his shit sorted so when that happens I think our flanks are covered.

I really hope we get him. A veteran that could easily change between a 4 back and 3 back in games and also play either rb or cb or left I guess. Id love to see something like

---------------------------Higuain----------------

-------Mandzukic----------Dybala-----------Costa-

---------------Matuidi------------------Pjanic--------

Sandro----------Killini-----------Rugani-------Hovedes

that moves in to


---------------Mand----------------------Higgy------------------
---------------------------------------------------Dybala
-----------------------------------------------------------------------Costa
Sandro-------------------------Matuidi-----------Pjanic-------------------

---------------------Chiellini----------------Rugani-------------------Hovedes
