Fair enough slifersd. I agree. I thought you were talking about getting Sirigu in January so that he can replace Donnarumma.
Jay, Do you know anything about Sensi? What do you think of him? Just asking because I've read all these news about him in the last 2 weeks, but I've never seen him play.
Willems is an intriguing prospect I gotta say. A great weapon to have going forward. If he can be as solid defensively, he can easily be one of the best LBs around. He gets a lot of stick for inconsistent performances, but he is only 21.....even though it feels like he's been around forever. The feeling around him is almost the same as it was about Marcelo years ago. People were bashing him because of his alleged bad defending, when in fact, he was never terrible at it. He was no Paolo Maldini, but he still isn't anywhere near a level like that.....however he offers so much in possession and when attacking, that he offsets any shortcomings he has defensively. He is now one of the best LBs in the world. You could argue one way or another, but the fact remains, most big clubs would love to have him. So I think Willems is at that crossroad too. The same one that Marcelo was at when he came to Europe. What he needs is a big club to take a gamble on him and improve him defensively....and he'll be set up for success. Why not us!?
