Who?
Do a Danny Rose
Wake up!! We've been linked to him for weeks!!
Fiorentina midfielder. Relatively big, energetic, dribbles a lot...not an exciting signing by any stretch but better than a non-playing Ndombele

That’s what’s widely been reported
I’d rather have a player who would do what conte needs than 3 that don’t
Oh conte likes him. He can fit in and do a job. Just think in summer we'll look to upgrade.

I agree
That’s the common train of thought and actually sensible

One who seems to be more highly rated by scouts and coaches than he does fans (which isn't a bad thing). Just disappointing that we're doing a deal like this while Saudi Sportswashing Machine are busy buying a genuinely top class player who plays the same role.

If this lad is the only incoming this window then I'm gonna' feel sorry for him, that first misplaced pass.... sheesh.
I'd feel more sorry for Conte and our fans
Just watched a YouTube video of him, so I now feel fully qualified to offer my opinion.
pros:
looks to have a pass on him. Seems to have good balance and upper body strength. Makes a lot of stand up tackles which suggests decent positioning. Dribbles are based on strength and hip swerves rather than anything too flashy.
cons:
makes an awful lot of dribbles near or facing his own area, which he seems to just about get away with… but this is a highlight video… so what about the times he didn’t, or won’t with the superior press in the prem.
No exceptional pace.
Didn’t see any of his goals - which is unusual for a highlight video.

That goes without saying yes.

Why?.... I've been told on here that they can't go around spending lots of money because the FFP rules won't let them.
They are in the process of spending £40m for a (very good) player in a position where we really need a very good player.
The same people who say it's a fools game to worry about what Saudi Sportswashing Machine are doing are the same people who say that good quality players are not available in January.

Firstly quite a few of those fouls given in Italy aren't being given in the Premier League, where no longer does a player falling over after minimal contact automatically count as a foul. Secondly it's probably not that unusual for a central midfield player to commit more fouls than win tackles, especially if they are playing as the deepest midfielder. The most important thing is stopping the attack, so you either win the tackle or give away a foul to stop the opposition having a good chance.
They can spend around £400m and still be within premier league spending limits i believe. Would mean they wouldn't be able to spend anything the next 2 years though. Ffp only accounts for clubs in europe.
