I am soooo glad the season is starting soon because after this window I will have a serious withdrawal from my dopamine addiction.

Not to put any pressure on the kid or anything but I’m calling it now, he’s going to surpass Virg’s legacy at the club.

I have wanted this kid ever since I saw him for the first time yesterday on YT. Never wanted a player so badly in my life.

Given our previous record with Italian players I was hoping it might be one of those has an Italian passport but is actually South American dual nationality deals but nope - born in Rome, can’t get much more Italian than that :italy:

Let’s hope we finally find some success with an Italian player at LFC, certainly looks like he will bring some physicality to our defense and is apparently ambipedal with experience playing left or right sided CB in a 2, a wide CB in a 3 and right back so pretty flexible.

Well is he coming with a shit attitude or an injury otherwise the only comparison can be Dossena and he wasn’t very good anyhow

We need to see the picture 5 seconds later where he swears to the referee on his Nonna’s pasta sauce recipe with the innocent face of an angel that he didn’t shirt pull to know if Leoni has truly mastered the Italian defensive dark arts

Given the BEEB are always literally the last to know, I imagine he has already bought a house and his ragazza is out looking for a new couch.

Not a clue who this young bloke is and I have for sure not seen the required 10 matches whoever invented that rule :see_no_evil_monkey: but I trust Hughes.

This was my ideal reinforcement approach for our CBs - an experienced, quality CB who can give us cover and possibly supplant Konate if he leaves, and a young, up-and-coming CB who can learn from the best in the world and be groomed to take over long term.

Let’s get this done.

It seems the less attention I pay to a rumour the more likely it is to happen.

Haven’t even bothered looking him up on YouTube as I was sure he’d stay in Italy.

Ā£26m seems a lot of money mind you.
