Wasn't he dropped for Arcari as the season progressed?

Yes. Arcari came in to give him a break and then went on a crazy clean sheet run, so stayed in the team. Team first, after all. You don't change something that is working so well.

Definitely, but I don't think a keeper that participates in only one competition needs a break? Unless he was injured of course. You'd expect a goalie who is branded "the next Buffon" to start for his team, not that he's the first one to be called that, but still..

Anyways, I'm glad that we're looking for youth with great potential and that we have two promising keepers in Branescu and Leali.

I don't mean from a physical perspective, but from a mental one. You can expect too much from a young player by using them all the time when they are just starting out, you see errors creep in or a lack of confidence, then it is time to give them a little break.

 

[Nicholas]

Does anybody not know why he hasn't yet signed his contract?

 

[Ahmed]

will sign and be unveiled on Friday along with Kojo and Isla?

 

[Nicholas]

Possibly. I know Isla & Asa will both sign their contracts, it seems odd Leali hasn't.

Yup.

Very tough for a kid to maintain high levels of concentration for extended periods.

Exactly why it always takes longer for keepers and CBs to get the chance to play regularly.

 

[Gagi]

Maybe they're waiting for Marotta to take a picture with him.

 

[Trequartista]

Yup.

Very tough for a kid to maintain high levels of concentration for extended periods.

How do you rate Michele Camporese of Fiorentina?

Makes sense, even though I'd prefer to give the youngster (that showed glimpses of his talent and what he's capable of) my trust and keep starting him even if he makes mistakes, especially if I didn't have a lot on the line.

But what do I know.

I've never understood these types of young goalkeeper signings. They usually never work out, its hard to find them a team thats willing to loan them and actually play them when they have no experience at all. And in the end big teams usually end up spending big when replacing the goalkeeper they have today.

 

[JuveJay]

He'll probably go to Serie B on loan, so there won't be a lack of teams who want him.

It needs a bit of luck and extraordinary talent to be a great GK. Buffon has it all and he started in Parma so young didnt he?
Well, if Leali doesnt have what Buffon has, at least he can be a decent back up for our next No.1 in the future.

By Leali's current age (19), Buffon had already played in the senior Azzurri team. He played his first senior match for Parma at 17.

€4m.

 

[Bianconero_Aus]

He's good looking.

I'd pork him.

 

[Pablo]

€4m.

Cheers mate

 

[kronos]

I have in my mind Gigi will play at least till he's 40.
So this guy, however great might be, looks destined not to play for us till he's 25 unless we keep him just for the Coppa's which i find a waste of his time and talent, and our money.

Can't really remember.

Seem to recall thinking he had some ability, but don't think I've seen enough of him to say more than that.
