Really good to hear, next season I'll make sure to follow this kid.
It was FIFA 12 that actually made me follow him.

I have a habit in Career mode of selling off a bunch of veterans and buying all young kids, when the game first comes out, and that is where I found him as I was looking for a Striker in the 17-19 age bracket with a rating of 65 or higher.

So, I started following him this season with Sassuolo

from what I have seen, and tell me if you agree with this, is that he is the type of forward who doesn't need much service in order to get into scoring position. the matches that I have seen him play, he is always the one getting the ball about 3-5 metres outside the box, and getting himself into position for an opportunity.

Which is good, especially for his age, but I sense a bit of selfishness sometimes in his play.
Yes , he is not a poacher and neither a drogba type CF , he is weaker in the air and does not play exactly like drogba , but has better tecnique and is faster than drogba with the ball on his legs

Nice, I still have FIFA 11 :D
I'll get the 13, never bothered to get 12 because I always played it at my friend's place.

But where will he play? Genoa?

He seems to be very efficient. Not a lot of wasted motion and indecision on his part

Juventus made a big mistake not signing Verrati. From all I have read, he is highly rated and has a lot of potential. 12-13M was not that much. Juventus paid 9M for Elia to have him warming the bench.

The way I see it, Verrati at PSG can go two ways. Most probably he wont get enough playing time to develop as player. PSG wants results now and their model is similar to City, no space for youngsters. However with ancelloti as coach, things might be different. If he fails at PSG, he would disappear at middle team tables and never again interest Juventus. If he succeeds, his price is going to go up 3x-4x. Similar to what happened with fabregas.

    He's probably going to meelan after that. I don't see J-C Blanc doing us a favor and selling him to us.

    KOndogbia could be going to some shitty EPL club instead of Juve according to the French media.

    We paid 8 mil for elia after he had played in holland and after having played for some time in bundesliga . We payed 9 mil and i think that althrough he didn't succeed at us i still think that he would have done good if he had more chances to prove himself . We have barely seen him all season .
    Verratti is on his first good year in serie b and they already ask 12-13 mil for him , the price is to high . He may very well become the next pirlo , but he could also become the next cigarini .

    Yes it was a gamble but in my opinion for 13M, it was worth it. Perhaps Juve should have secured the deal faster, before the whole situation caught PSG attention and their petro-dollars.
