He’s not though. Zaniolo is best in transition as he’s a powerful ball carrier. He’s not close to being as decisive as someone like Maddison when it comes to providing final balls against settled defences. Rewatch all the clips on the comps I’m sure you watched. Most of his good moments were on the counter attack.
7 different reasons??
That's a myth depending on what was done. It can be strengthened using a different ligament but that always comes at a cost.
He did, but he was never the same player again. He had to totally change his game. Obviously he was still a massive talent and succeeded anyway.
He was better than most with one leg though and proved it ?
Fuck the YT clips of what he is doing at Roma. We are all fully aware of how Jose sets up and plays, wouldn't expect to see anything other than his teams counter attacking.
Romero missed over 20 games last season for five different reasons - one of which was 'Information not yet available'. If that's not a red flag then I don't know what is.
The only slight concern from last year for me is him going clubbing midway through the season when he was ruled out of match for injury. At that point his relationship with Jose was already strained and this caused a total brake down. Its really quiet remarkable that he managed to work his way back into the squad and a testament to how good he is really. Despite what Jose says about wanting to keep him, i think Jose would like him gone as they really don't work well together. For me, the injuries themselves don't really concern me much, like you say theres nothing majorly worrying with his record last year on that front.
Would imagine it's similar watching Bergwijn under Jose to how he operates for the Netherlands - chalk and cheese.
I can't argue that's it's better to actually watch a player throughout the season but some who have done just that say he has issues playing the pass and tried to do it all himself, which you can see in the clips. It's not just about the clips,Ike you said it's about the context.
A witch!
I don't either actually although I'm siding with the not so keen crew, probably solely because I'd rather sign a player who hasn't done both of his ACLs and there's quite a long list of people who have actually worked with the fella saying he could be more professional. He's a young guy so maybe that's not an issue but it's still there to be read so I'm cautious
