He had his dembele moment last season, moved into midfield, and looked very decent
Ndombele will only start applying himself when his contract has 1/2 years left on his contract imo.
He’s all about the money he will have a good loan spell in a few seasons to try and earn his next contract
Yeh shocking as it is for those of us who remember Joelinton as a piss-poor striker, he actually has become a bit of a tough tackling, forward thinking midfielder.
I'm interested to see how that develops. Like Dembele, he might just have been used in the wrong positions for most of his career
His rise with Nagelsmann wasn't as a striker/target man in the way Bruce had him playing. He's playing very much like he did at Hoffenheim since Howe has come in.
Had a better season than Grealish. Can score free kicks. Unfortunately he has the reputation of a bit of a pillock .Southgate never picked him since he left England squad claiming illness and was seen in a casino following night when England were playing.
No doubt on his performances he should be in the squad
I would take any of the two proposed players over Maddison.
They are both quicker, more skillful and suited to Conte's set up. I think if Conte wanted Maddison he would already be here.
I've not seen much of the other 2 but homegrown is such a massive issue for us. Of the others i know Paqueta failed at Milan and Zaniolo had had 2 cruciate injuries. Plus you have the, will they adapt question. Having said that i agree that I'm not sure we're that interested in Maddison sadly. If its about the amount of gossip it looks like Zaniolo.
Zaniolo played 28 games last season so i would assume he is injury free.
For me Zaniolo would be the better of the two but either would give us the trickery and creativity with pace that we lack.
does not score or assist alot, his record is trash and injury prone
As a striker he is dogshit, zero composure in front of goal, but as a midfielder he was excellent last season. It was a stroke of genius from Howe to change him to that position. He's powerful, tidy on the ball and works really hard for the team.
Don't know whether he can sustain that long-term but he deserves credit for last season.
Also a bit concerning he barely gets a sniff for Italy despite their attacking options not exactly being particularly breathtaking .. especially with Chiesa out.
Does he? Or is the latter just more available/cheaper?
Been widely reported that he’s a big fan of Zaniolo…
Obviously none of us can say whether it’s a financial thing to pick him over Maddison though.
Pure speculation. I don’t think finances are a problem, personally, but that’s just opinion.
I think if Conte wanted Maddison, the deal would already be i the can.
Be interesting to see if Zaniolo starts today, or if he ends up being an unused sub. This i think will tell us for sure if he's on his way to us?
