Well this potential deal rubs me in weird way...
I mean I understand - we should trust Conte. And it's not like unexiting signings always turn out poorly.
But at the same time -
- checked his highlights clip, wow, pretty much first time I got bored watching highlight reel... after like 40 sec. Most of the notable moments were down to extremely slow game tempo- even Scott Parker father could sniff those passes out and make takcles when given that much room
- he is listed as DM and quite honestly I don't get why we need additional one? Our midfield is lacking any kind of creativity and quicker ball movement. If anything then Skippy as DM should be currently our no1 pick for midfield position. Why not bring in new players that would be more creative and technically capable?
All in all if his addition will be one of the additions to CM and we get someone more impressive as well, then I can see the point of it - we can take a low risk deal, get him on loan and see if he is up to standard. But if he will be only addition to department that currently massively lacks technical quality... well then I will lose my shit. And obviously join the "Levy out now" side.
One can make such opportunistic deals when situation is fine. But if your house is burning, you wouldn't like to see only car responding to the call be a firetruck written off from active duty and not seen any movement from the place in garage in past 8 months....
