Why you want him?
Would appreciate a short answer in text form instead of a sad or wat reaction
@Juve92
He's been mediocre to the bone for a good while. I just don't know what people see in him at this point and like to know what I'm missing.
I'm torn on the guy, pre-inury Zaniolo was a no brainer, currently he's a gamble. Totally
I guess it's time to realize we won't be able to do better than him. Cuadrado is too old to stick around and Di Maria will fuck off after this season for sure. That leaves us with 2 wingers for 433 (Allegri's preferred formation at the beginning of the season, before injuries happened): Chiesa and Soule.
With hard times ahead having Chiesa - Vlahovic - Zaniolo already looks like a miracle tbh. Even if we survive the juridical shitstorm unscratched, the club will keep the purse strings way tighter than in the past, so we can forget about more exiting names from abroad.
So in this sense Zaniolo fits the bill because in his current situation he seems to be affordable both in terms of salary and transfer fee.
If we're lucky in the next couple of months we don't lose any stars and only bums leave. In that case:
Chiesa/Kean - Vlahovic/Milik - Zaniolo/Soule
Pogba/Miretti - Locatelli/Rovella - Fagioli/Ranocchia?
?/Cambiaso - Danilo/Rugani - Bremer/Gatti - ?/MDS
Tek/Perin
You can put Illing and Kostic somewhere there because for sure Allegri will use 352 as well but couldn't be arsed to do it. Basically Zaniolo replaces Di Maria I guess.
Just my opinion based on current situation, feel free to disagree and think differently
BTW we've been linked to him for ages now, so I guess that's why he (Zaniolo) seems to be an obvious name, too.

Anyway, the whole Zaniolo thing started with this:
i hope whoever works at the club now remembers the name parisi

any guesses?
And it seems like we have the continuation of it now:
Basically Zaniolo agent contacted us and we haven't refused but the problem is dealing with Roma.
