Is Zaniolo a no.10 type player?
I think that's where they reckon he's most effective aye.

Two knackered cruciates though.

Plus his numbers are shite recently, and may be an attitude problem there if he's fallen out at Roma and they're trying to get rid. Loan with no obligation would be ideal. He looks a bit special mind. To be 6 foot 3 and that type of player is pretty unique.

With how long his injury history is I wouldn't go near him on that alone.

Can be forgiven for falling out with Mourinho though, I mean who hasn't? :lol:

Plenty of people haven't fallen out with him. My grandma hasn't, the actor that played Lou Carpenter in Neighbours, Britney Spears etc. The list is endless.

But aye he does look a tad crocked like. Bit of a risk.

You know what I meant. Clashes with loads of his players does Mourinho so I'd never hold it against one that falls out with him :lol:

That injury record though is very concerning. Seems like it was Bournemouth he'd have signed for anyway, had they not pulled the plug, rather than us.

Was always going to be peaks and valleys with him in his first year in the prem having only played in Austria. Unusual in that he started on a peak and is in a valley now, when typically the valleys come first. He needs to get stronger and more physical, which will come with time. At least now with Rutter and McKennie we don't have to rely on him and tbf he's ace off the bench with his boundless energy.

Yeah I think he suits being out wide more, until he beefs up a bit. He'll thrive coming off the bench against knackered players which will help him regain confidence.
