Depends for me if we're bringing in a technical player. By the looks of it Zaniolo isn't gonna pick out passes, whip in dangerous crosses or dead balls. We still need that player. With only Zaniolo in we'll be amazing at breaking on teams but soon teams will figure us out and start dropping deeper. We've got no answers to that atm apart from better wing backs perhaps, not even good set piece delivery.I'll revise some of my statements from earlier in that I believed this would be a massive, £50-60m transfer (as those were the numbers heavily rumoured in the Juve deal from last week). If we spunk £50m on him in cash, I am sorry but that is a ridiculous price. Dybala had 20 more G+A in Serie A last season and he was available for free.
If it is in fact a loan with a favorable option, and if Zani is OK with being a 5th or 6th choice attacker, it is nowhere near as bad as I was making it out to be. There is at least a fair amount of moldable talent here.
