I done even know what the standard is like in Serie A.

Doesn't appear to that strong.

 

Buying from Serie A doesn't have the best strike rate, especially for us.

 

Edit: Well apart from Salah and Allison (Two of out best signings in recent memory)

I think it’s more to do with who we buy than where they’re from.

All of our Italian players have been shite, to be fair. Dossena, Aquilani, Borini, Balotelli and a young keeper that played once.

RABIOT PREFERS LIVERPOOL
Adrien Rabiot will presumably end up at Barcelona, but PSG would quite like the Frenchman to leave for Spurs this January, not least because they would get a tidy transfer fee. Leading local website Paris United claim that Tottenham have made Rabiot an offer of a £4.32m signing-on bonus and £125,000 a week; they also have Serge Aurier and Lucas Moura in their corner, whispering in Rabiot’s ear (well, sending him WhatsApps).

The problem? Rabiot is not for joining Spurs. He would rather join Liverpool, who have always appealed to him because of his love of Steven Gerrard. He also admires Jurgen Klopp.  He presumably does not feel the same way about Jake Livermore and Mauricio Pochettino

This Tonali kid won Serie B player of the year. The winners have got a pretty good record of ending up class players. Immobile, Verrati, Insigne, El Shaarawy and Rugani have won that in the last 7 years. He's the youngest player to win it as well.

I watched a different video of Tonali.

 

While it's only Serie B, he looks quite bloody impressive. Seems to have so much composure on the ball and plays like he has loads of time on the ball even when he doesn't. A tight, good touch. Seems to be able to knock a long pass with either foot, but knows when to just play the shorter, more sensible pass. 

 

The attribute of his that stood out for me though was his ability to shield the ball and then do a little feint/turn out of trouble. 

 

The Italian Joe Allen. Sign him up.
