Barak is a nice player and I was hoping for good things from him after he got his big break with a move to Fiorentina. But he largely failed to live up to expectations IMO. Last season he was rotated very heavily.

Anyway, he’s not the profile we need. If Inzaghi indeed wants a physical midfielder, a more defensively inclined player would be good.

That said, it’ll be hard to find a player within the remaining week of the market who fits that profile, is of a sufficient level, fits our meager budget and is willing to be a bench player / rotational option.

to get Ricci, new and tough management is needed, even tough Lotito failed to sign him.

You dont have to weigh 90 kilos and be over 1.90 to be physical. For example the strongest player ive seen was Benoit Cauet. Those of you who dont know him can check his height/weight.
Strength comes in many shapes and sizes.

Brozović in his later years at Inter was also deceptively more strong than he let on.

Exactly. Being massive doesn't always means you are strong. There's a bunch of players whom are rather small but they have insane amount of strength. Then another thing is, you have to know how to use it properly because in football timing and positoning is everything.

Does being tall or massive give you an advantage? Absolutely. But we've seen how a players like Gagliardini could be outplayed numerous of times by smaller players or even these whom seem physically weaker than him.

But I've kept saying that our midfield needs a physical player. Someone who is at least decent enough to move the ball around but physical game is his main strength.

Yep Brozo looks like a straw and is quite strong. If you didn't know who he is you would never think he is a professional athlete.

The guy scored a hell of a screamer against Empoli yesterday.

Was impressed by him against us too.

The Azzurri are ridiculously deep in quality midfielders right now. Too bad the striker situation is probably the worst I’ve ever seen it.
Yes, I remember him from the game against us. He was by far their best player. 24yo, right time to blossom and don`t forget we are buddies with Monza.
