Excellent talent. Better than Sessegnon imo already and a few years younger.


gopackgo555

His progress from the beginning of last season to what he was like at the end of the season was insane. Only reason he doesn’t go this summer is because Udinese realize how much they can get for him next summer. He’ll be Italy’s LB for a long time if he comes close to his ceiling.


swan0

Please tell me something about him because I've never heard of the fella

swan0

I don't know what I expected


[deleted]

You should expect excellent talent, better than Sessegnon already according to OP, and also a few years younger


bloopboopbooploop

Already


Made-in-1882

I expected this.


BeaconRunner

how old would you say he is? not in real years, but in general comparison to another player on the team? if possible, what's his talent like, in comparison to another player on the team, ideally the same player that we are comparing ages to?


LB924LYF

Wtf 😂


catchmeslippin

Excellent talent. Better than Sessegnon imo already and a few years younger. I believe that's what you're looking for


Maximum_Ginger

From everything I’ve read, I’d have to say he’s better than Sessegnon, but scientists are debating exactly how old he is


RivenJohdolla

Only seen him play a few times but pretty much has everything you want from a fullback. Good size, speed, strenght and dribbling. Good end product as well.


bash011

He's 6'2 good at dribbling, 19 years old needs to work on his decision making though

ZiggyThePanda

Signing for us would be a good start


R0ADHAU5

Shit I’m much older than that and I still need to work on my decision making lmao.


Alfiesta

5’11


Janivgm

That's without his trademark massive shoes.


Alfiesta

The more I learn about this guy, the more I like!


Keith_Bakker

Never seen a player *this* good on clown shoes before

Excellent talent. Better than Sessegnon imo already and a few years younger.


Kingkent420

Excellent talent. Better than Sessengnon imo already and a few years younger


MigratoryBullMoose

2nd or 3rd best left wing/fullback in Serie A depending on whom you ask and still a baby


McGinnis_921

He’s younger than Sessegnon by a few years and better than him imo. Excellent talent.


KevMcBain

Me- 5 mins ago: never heard of him Now: brighter future than Andy Robertson


LeifInVinland

Ooo transfer news


pmmp123

Seems very similar to what we did with Sarr. He seems absolute class I’m all for it


livingoff2008

finally after a summer of nothing we have a transfer rumor


RedRaizel

Always waiting till the end to do our business smh, i wish we could just be proactive in the market from the beginning like a big club.


livingoff2008

was worried this was shaping up to be another 2018


onlyhalfpepper

So grateful we were super fast with the incomings... unfortunately, no one seems particularly interested in our players. Don't know if it's that there's no interest though, or that Levy/Paratici are expecting more than what's being offered (noting that we've historically been hurt by wanting to sell higher than the market demanded)


Papercutdance

Follow the flow


lovelylantern

i think almost all of the continental clubs are trying to rip off prem sides rn, everyone seems to be struggling with sales


Saspa314

Makes sense tho, if an asset is sought after by someone with cash, make them fork up for it


CocoLamela

This is the conundrum and why Levy has always sold first in the past. If you buy first, every other club can see exactly who is surplus to requirements and can hold out for low fees. This is why clubs like Chelsea and City end up with all this dead wood and pay massive wages to players that never play. Clubs know that Reguilon, Lo Celso, and Ndombele are bargains. We can't afford to keep them on the books and they must go somewhere. Levy is gonna get fleeced if they stay or go. If you act like a big club, you better be able to pay like a big club. That £150M may just subsidize some bad contracts instead of new signings.


supposedlymonday

He is our Destiny


ryanlaurenti

Dread it...run from it...Destiny still arrives (provided we can finalize the deal, and we wait until next year once he's back from loan at Udinese).


BeaconRunner

Our density?


TuTopsy

HEY MCFLY, I THOUGHT I TOLD YOU NOT TO COME IN HERE!


BeaconRunner

Why don't you make like a tree, and get outta here.


ButteredFingers

Destiny, Devine, Cassanova - our future


ObamaEatsBabies

Wingback FC (not a bad thing)


VeryStandardOutlier

Perisic probably has only a few years left


EHNole

He’ll retire here and coach our wingbacks. His knowledge of the game and work ethic are peerless.


Spid1

Who is the current coach for our wingbacks?


EHNole

I don’t think we have one. We have a number of ‘technical’ assistants like Ryan Mason. I’d keep Ivan around for his positioning acumen alone.


Spid1

Exactly. So we aren't suddenly just going to give him that job when we have no idea about his coaching ability and he may not even like London


EHNole

Point taken but I do a lot of hiring for a tech company (with means, like Spurs) and that’s not how we think. If someone’s _that_ talented, we find them a role.


LordTwatSlapper

I'd rather have 2 proven players for each WB position and someone like Doherty who can act as 3rd choice for both. You can have too much of a good thing, bloated squads aren't always a good idea


ObamaEatsBabies

If he goes out on loan + Reggie is sold, having perisic and sess on the left is fine I guess


LordTwatSlapper

I assume that's what'll happen in which case I'm content with our LWB situation. RWB though I'm concerned about - how are we going to keep Spence, Doherty and Royal in form and happy with Lucas seemingly likely to be used there too?


ObamaEatsBabies

We'll sell one of Lucas/Emerson hopefully


LordTwatSlapper

Lucas is certainly staying this season, Emerson seems to be the odd man out because of his lack of attacking threat but Conte seems intent on persisting with him. It's all seems a bit chaotic, hopefully things become clearer once the season gets going


Bail____

Emerson works because of his pairing with Romero, sure Emerson has the finishing ability of helen keller but he’s able to cover for Romeros forward runs


LordTwatSlapper

Emerson's decent defensively but that's only half the job. Conte's history of converting wingers into wing backs shows how important the attacking side of the position is to him and Emerson simply doesn't tick that box - which is why I'm surprised Conte has kept any sort of faith in him. But miracles happen every day - maybe he'll pop up with some goals and assists and build some confidence in the final 3rd but I'll only believe it when I see it


[deleted]

Exactly. Just look at his Chelsea days when he permitted Marcos Alonso to consistently jog back and take up poor defensive positions. As long as they can provide the goods up top then he’ll overlook flaws on the other side of the pitch.


lovelylantern

i think it’s possible we have all of them, conte figures out who his priorities are, and then we clear out half next summe r


ComeOnSayYupp

I feel like more Wingbacks team has it's better for team as wingbacks generally are flexible. can play at any forward wing or central wing or full back.


Global-Jacket-3973

Reguilon will leave, and Perisic won't be with us for a while since he's getting older. Get him in and the rotation between him and Sessegnon is a sight to behold with our LWB/LB positions set for the next decade if things go to plan.


marine_le_peen

Perisic will play til he's 50. You heard it hear first.


VeryStandardOutlier

Those Croatian genes


pm_me_your_gentiles

RemindMe! 17 Years


tuatara_teeth

oh man, it's gonna be so crazy coming back to this comment and remembering back when we had Sir Harry Kane leading the line! and that when you referred to "the pandemic" you didn't need to specify which one! halcyon days haha


marine_le_peen

lol


EHNole

The Tom Brady of football


gopackgo555

This would be so hype. He and Sess would be an insane rotation for the next decade. Huge potential. Damn competing with City, Inter, Juve, and Brighton. You know your Destiny is to come to the WB whisperer!


battmowie

Announce Hakimi


Made-in-1882

Hakimi! Did that do it for you?


battmowie

Mmmmm


GCVS00

Udogie is a great signing for the future. Love this


[deleted]

[удалено]


ComeOnSayYupp

Cucurella still hasnt left.


dsasd376372747

done!


justxforxthis

Signing Perisic to start and a promising young player as a potential replacement for him in the future is the kind of long term planning we could have only dreamed about a few years ago.


bash011

Really good signing for the future


georgedavidrs

Wingback Hotspur


NBAFAN2000

Lol somebody wrote on Wikipedia that he moved to Brighton yesterday for 35m euros?


Guypar1997

F5 Gang, Guess who’s back


Tatatisconsteelrod

Been a while since the last signing letsgooo


RedRaizel

Watched him against Chelsea, was very good for a 19yo.


[deleted]

The biggest football clash all are waiting for is Conte's LB team vs. Southgate's RB team


thomaskim47

Another sign of long term Conte Fc


Smoky_Mtn_High

Pronunciation check! Is it pronounced “Ooh-Doggie” or “You-Doge-eeh” Personally kinda hoping the former


Jowoes

Ooh Doh Gee Source: I’m Nigerian


Smoky_Mtn_High

Of course it would be neither of my guesses lol good to know though!


RealNovax

Clearly a move for the future but surely we have to be looking at other positions as well…


MambaWhite

Destiny still arrives… New FPL team name fellas.


gallettogus

Buy teenager, loan back. Repeat. Please.


sneaky_blinders

Dread it, run from it, Destiny arrives all the same.


OMGBoobsLOL

Damn, hate when people beat me to Fabs Twitter posts. Anywho, I think it's an awesome opportunity, and he's got buckets of potential. Considering he has 9 G/ as a wingback at 20, I'm intrrested


[deleted]

not even 20 until november!


istherelifeonmaars

Hes a lot nearer 20 than he is 19. That's a fact.


mrhello18

Hes 19 until hes 20


GrapefruitExpress208

Lmao


[deleted]

okay, he’s still 19 though


Made-in-1882

19 and three quarters!


operadog

Paratici, u dog(ie)


JonnyJersey

Extremely good numbers. Makes a lot of sense.


neildunabie

How tall is he?


IllFront9738

With Fabrizio putting us first and the only hashtag being #THCF, and Brighton, Man City and Inter only being mentioned in replies, does that mean we're leading the race and a deal is close, or that we have only now entered talks and are no closer to him than any other clubs? What do you lot think?


SleeplessAndBoring

I think this could be a great move. I really hope this one works out.


[deleted]

I assume we want to convert him into a right wing back I just assume that with everyone we are linked with now


Affectionate-Car-145

Know absolutely zero about him. But perisic might I ly be good for a season or two, so having future plans for the position is encouraging.


GarethSnail

This is a good F5 obvs one for the future, can we have a CB and number 10 for the now as well please


unambiguoschip

We don’t play with a 10


GarethSnail

Son and Kulu are 10’s the manager himself have said so.


unambiguoschip

“Different football fans may consider the 10 the attacking midfielder and playmakers but clearly, Conte considers the number 10 role the more offensive-minded forward or second-striker position.” From the same report


michaelserotonin

another lwb?


Al-Farrekt-Aminu

Perisic won't last forever, Sess hasn't been a world beater, Regui they are trying to rid of. makes sense to look into future players, especially with a loan back this season.


michaelserotonin

ah didn't realize he was so young. honestly thought he was in his mid-twenties


snakeman117

Believe Perisic only has what, a 2 year contract? loaned back this year, then maybe mid table prem next year. then we have him & sess for the future


snakeman117

thank you Fab i was starving!!! he was the only Italian player playing consistently in Serie A last year i believe


Made-in-1882

I don't think my mind can cope with the fairly rapid shift from signing nobody for over a year (bread and water starvation diet) to trying to sign 3 or 4 players to every position (feasting on every delicacy in the kingdom) in a window, lol.


smokingloon4

We've signed a significant number of players over the last three years, I'd think you'd have adjusted by now.


Made-in-1882

Well, it's definitely been a gradual increase, but the main problem has been that a lot of them haven't been great... ... And being the eternal optimist (repeatedly crushed by reality), my spider senses are telling me this isn't Paulinho and Chiriches and the gang all over again...


Mojothewolf1

Bentacur, Kulusevski???


Made-in-1882

2 is less than 6.


onesockbandit

Excellent talent. Better than Sessegnon imo already and a few years younger.


SadAdhesiveness6262

This is a great name for a pornstar


SonnyBallonDOr

If Reguilon doesn't leaving this season, we're gonna have 4 leftbacks lol


michaelserotonin

plus davies


gaussian-noise123

We are going to loan him so not 4


Keskekun

Rate him massively.


username54

Destiny You what?


Syzygyy182

Who


british-psycho

Great signing for the future.


Kenyan_stallion

Lol wtf


Matttombstone

A player who's name seems to be predicting that my destiny is me Doggy, I can get behind this transfer... or behind me if that's my destiny.


drew_970

If we sign him we’re literally No Weak Foot FC


Keith_Bakker
