van Arle looks good. He's big and strong, I think he's probably only a year or so away from being useful. And I think that's part of the reason he perhaps came here. I hope we still have that reputation at least.

I don't know, I see his potential as vastly superior to Puche with a ceiling that is good Serie A CB. And if I'm being quite honest, I think he's near Puche's current skill level. Not at it yet but its very close and after a few months in Serie C with Next Gen I think he could already be there at Puche's level to the point he could contribute if we need an emergency CB.
Physically, at this age he's still growing obviously but he's already an imposing figure defensively though a little thin and lanky. He'll benefit greatly from bulking up with our training facilities.
I like this kid a lot and think he could be useful by late Oct, early Nov to be quite honest.

come on, when have you seen him play? Anyone can look good in a highlight tape. Gil Puche made significant strides this year and looks like a player that will be in top flight. Dunno anything about van arle, but if hes actually better than him that’s quite the find.

Grady Makiobo (18), class of 2007 and Belgian U18 national, from Club Bruges. The player can play as a central defender but in the Bianconeri ideas there is to use him as a midfielder. The operation was concluded by the Bianconeri management and initially designed for the Next Gen, it could start with the U20.
