Good start - looks like a smooth and composed regista type player albeit I need to see more of him to judge.

He'll be our most important transfer this season. Mark this post

Done.

Posted by: Fillipo Simone Jul 28 2017, 09:22 AM

In a negative or positive sense?

Posted by: X-Offender Jul 28 2017, 12:15 PM

Positive of course.

From what I saw of Montolivo we will need this guy to step up for sure.

Posted by: han2503 Jul 30 2017, 09:22 AM

Definitely positive. We've been missing someone like him since Pirlo left. Obviously he's not at Pirlo level but he's been one of the best registas in the league for a while now.


Monto is finished. We should offer him a back room role now.

Wow, much expectations for Biglia I see. I'm very skeptical.

Posted by: han2503 Jul 30 2017, 10:33 AM

Why? Because he older and hasn't played for a big team yet?

He was Lazio's most influential player these last few years, especially last season. Obviously he's no Modric/Cesc but imo he'll give us a quality jump in the midfield.

And technically he's been one of our least talked about signings (probably because his deal coincided with Bonucci's), that's why I think he'll be our most underrated (but hugely influential) signing.

Pretty much. He's already 31, played for Lazio for 3 or 4 years and prior to that for Anderlecht. Could easily turn into an Aquilani or Montolivo.

Posted by: X-Offender Jul 30 2017, 11:14 AM

He would have turned by now. At 31 both Aquilani and Montolivo were finished players, whereas Biglia is still playing at high levels.

Look, he's not the flashy player that makes all the assists and gives spectacle on the pitch. But he's a metronome, somebody who can control the tempo and organize play, and a good one at that.

I didn't want him before because I thought we would sign 3-4 players max, but given how this summer campaign has gone for the time being I'm more than happy with Biglia.

We should offer him nothing. Goddamn disappointment that man!

Posted by: Fillipo Simone Jul 30 2017, 04:13 PM

Indeed.

Posted by: han2503 Jul 30 2017, 06:02 PM

It's just a solution for getting rid of him as no club would want him now, especially not with his high wages and injury record

Torn thigh muscle. Out for a month.

Posted by: Danny Aug 11 2017, 07:03 PM

Come back Riccardo, all is forgiven!

:-D Locatelli is the answer, Locatelli is the way. Believe in him and your deep-lying playmaking will manifest itself.
