[Albion] Nicolo Zaniolo

[Swansman]

Anyone know the details on his injuries and how he's performed since then? Has there been any set backs or does he seem clear of the ACL problems now?

Spending £35m on a player with bad injury problems makes me uncomfortable.

One ACL injury in 19/20 and one in 20/21. Not unusual but once a player has been fit for a year without ripping the ACL again, they are statistically not more likely than anyone else to suffer another one, so he should be fine in that regard.

Since then he has had a fair bit of smaller injuries but nothing keeping him out for more than a few weeks.

They are in for ziyech, so he’s certainly on the way out. Very tall too. We might actually scored via a corner.

 

[HastingsSeagull]

Would be amazed if in our wage budget but yes please if so!

Most of the noise is that he is heading to Spurs once they've ironed out price etc but audere est facere.

Nunez at Liverpool has had both knees operated on before he went to them and they still parted with 85 big ones.

If we have bid £25m that is £5m of their asking price which is €35m £25m plus add ons and its pretty much what they want

Also, if both Conte and De Zerbi want him he's obviously a very good player.

Quite abit of noise this morning also that Conte is leaving at the end of season, this may impact inbound players if a new manager is expected

It would be like having Mitoma on the other flank

Not even wasting energy on this one, this is never going to happen.

Suspect he could player any of the front 6 positions under De Zerbi to be honest. Feels very unlikely this one.

Surely they have to get RDZ a player he wants in hopefully it’s this one.

As you’ve predicted we will freefall down the league and probably not a Brighton fan, your post makes me think this may actually happen

 

[The Fits]

Spurs move doesn't make a huge amount of sense does it? Obviously they're reluctant to pay up front, probably because it's a Conte signing. And they've got a right winger who looks a worldie and is just about their best player this season. Seems odd. Not surprised they're not desperate to get it over the line.

 

[Let's Have A Winner!]

Going by the video he seems like some kind of cross between Vicente and Knocky, now that would be fun!

 

[S'hampton Seagull]

Feels like our name is being used squeeze more money from Spurs

 

[dwayne]

The Spurs or West Ham interest is reported to be initial loans with option to buy so if we are putting a solid bid to buy on the table can see why we could be well positioned to get this one done

Fab only mentioning spurs

 

[Lady Whistledown]

I don't know how I'd feel about this. Signing players for big money now feels a bit un-Brighton. I mean, we've done so well with the ones we've signed for (relative) peanuts that literally every club in the Premier League is jealous right now. Is there a chance of a big name upsetting the apple cart a bit?

 

[The Wizard]

Already annoyed by people calling him Zaniola

 

[Sheebo]

Think this Zaniola could do a job
