Watching Sassuolo vs Lazio. Fratessi is a no brainer, bring him as soon as possible. Great engine, technical and can actually strike a ball.
Scamacca has looked the most likely for Sassuolo. One sketchy giveaway in midfield from him, otherwise he’s been decent enough. I would like to see him get a bit more involved in the overall play. He’s staying high and waiting for service. He’s actually got nice flicks in his locker ala Giroud.
Raspadori has looked the worst of the bunch (that are linked to Inter). Not bad still, he’s been very busy and gets involved a lot. I just struggle to see what he would add to our side at the moment besides another body for rotation.
It's Fra
ttesi you punk, not Frate
ssi.
I want that guy signed right now. As I said in the disgusting FIF whatsapp chat, he plays very much like Barella, except he doesn't turn into an 8 year old child and shit his pants every time he's in a goalscoring situation.
He very clearly possesses a finesse when it comes to finishing and it's obvious he has the sense of mind to place the ball, or strike it a certain way, in order to achieve the desired outcome. Compare this to Barella (or Lautaro for that matter) who just close their eyes and swing with full power (which is not very powerful anyway).
Beyond his articulate midfield play and passing sensibility, his tenacity and speed are fantastic. Most refreshing of all is his ability to pick up the ball and just drive forward with it. Just absolutely run at cunts. That's something we really lack in this squad. He's a great dribbler - not in a fuckhead street dribbler kind of way, but in the Zanetti kind of way. His movement and control are excellent, and he doesn't need to rely on fucking stepovers and all this fancy garbage to go past players and create forward momentum. Absolutely invaluable skill.
Easily the breakout player from this season I've been most impressed with so far. I really hope Marotta is gunning hard to secure him for next season and I'd be happy to pay anywhere near the region of €30-35m for him. Considering half our midfielders are fucking trash or always injured, Frattesi would be an amazing 4th player to rotate with the first-choice trio.
I will never forget that we could've signed Vlahovic if it weren't for motherfucking Suning and all their bullshit financial issues. We sold Lukaku and Hakimi for a combined fee of nearly €200m. We turned around and spent... 15m of that on Dzeko and Dumfries (Correa is on a loan).
Any reasonable owner would've reinvested, at bare minimum, half of that money, and the place we needed to reinvest it is Vlahovic. The guy is an absolute beast. Already a significantly better player than Lautaro IMO, probably Lukaku as well for that matter.
The idea that he wants to move to juve...
this juve? Is just fucking disgusting. Scamacca would be a decent-ish consolation prize, but unlike Vlahovic, he's definitely not ready to be the outright starting forward.
Don't really care for Raspadori tbh. The guy's role is already covered by Lautaro and Correa. It's the Dzeko role, or replacement, which we need to secure.
