btw guys
zaniolo stats aren't that impressive: 6 goals and 2 assists this season in serie a. last season he had 4 goals and 2 assists
10 goals and 6 assists doesnt scream to me must have or absolute monster midfielder.
to give you perspective, pogba when around same age as zaniolo (19/20) scored 5 goals in serie a no assists. then when he was 20/21 he scored 7 goals and 11 assists. and pogba played for a coach that played him as a cm, as opposed to a free moving am like zaniolo. and pogba had to contend with teams defending 11 men and slow possession based football as opposed to zaniolo playing more open football.
not saying i want pogba back, or that zaniolo isn't good. what i am saying is zaniolo seems impressive because of highlight reels and potential as opposed to consistency or must have qualities.
havertz is a much more impressive youngster to go after.
