Federico Dimarco

[Batman]

So he is an RB who can play as LB? Apparently Mancini wants him to stay this season instead of loaning him.

LB who can play as RB. I have high hopes for him, Mancini needs to give him some minutes

 

[thatdude]

Was this guy a standout at primavera level I don't remember hearing that much about him.

 

[Ronaldo]

Let's loan him out so Mancini wont be able to use the ridiculous 25-men squad excuse.

He was one of the best Italian players that reached the final stage of the u17 tournament and I remember watching it on GolTv and the announcers were gushing, he was 15 at the time. He is of the same generation as Bonazzoli and has always been highly thought of. Perhaps he didn't get much press as Bona but he was a big prospect coming up in his own right.

Just like D'Ambrosio, Santon, and Nagatomo.

Fantastic, it's this all over again.

And Zanetti.

 

[DARi0]

anyone seen the match vs Bayern? How did he play?

Not a good performance, skinned by Douglas Costa a few times, couldn't match him in terms of acceleration and agility, also made some good tackles though.

 

[Armes]

skinned is an understatement, capitano

 

[TGDella]

Good learning experience though. He's going to come up against wingers who are just too quick for him at some stage soon in his career - best he does that now in a preseason, and gets experience at trying to come up with strategies to counter that speed, rather than in a big game. It's not like he panicked and made a load of mistakes.

 

[Armes]

nah, don't think he'll get a single second in the league, unless an injury crisis happens. maybe one or two games in the beginning of CI but that's it. I believe he'll get shipped - not this year but in the near future. You get youngsters into a match and you can immediately tell who's who. M'Baye was considered a talent, but as soon as he played some real ones, and shit himself all over the pitch, got loaned and sold. Gnokouri on the other hand showed balls and remains.

I was actually impressed with Baldini (92).

 

[TGDella]

I meant for his personal development, not necessarily as a player for us.

 

[Ed.]

will be benched by Mancini from now on.

 

[Batman]

He is 17 okerface:

 

[satubito]

What did you expect from a 17 YEAR OLD. These are good minutes for him regardless, and will only help in his developement going forward.

Mancini will beg to differ. Bench from now on. For sale in the winter as he is not needed and we need to trim our squad.

Sounds about right if Mancini is still around....

That's a bit harsh bro, we're still in pre-season and Bayern are way ahead of us, especially Douglas Costa (played the Copa America). I still think Dimarco has lots of potential, he will obviously have to work extremely hard to improve his physical abilities, but as opposed to some of his competitors (won't mention any names here), he moves like a full-back and he makes good decisions.

 

[Pajo]

Poor Federico. He will have nightmares from yesterday.
