Rafael Leao

It's context, there are also players who did poorly who came to the PL and did better here. What you have to do is actually analyse the individual player's attributes and play style to see how well they would fit. It's not a one size fits all judgement each player is a specific case.

And i have, i mentioned i have not seen a lot of him but he would be too lazy off of the ball to fit into a De Zerbi system.
 
He's a game changer who can be utterly unplayable, not sure we have enough of those.

On a loan, if RDZ wants him and we have done our due diligence, I think it's a good call.

That said, if we go Leao, I suspect it's 3 incoming not 2 (too much risk just depending on him), and Tel may push to go

Watched last night and still not seeing it

Seemed lazy/half effort

Could be his style.

I think it would be a mistake.

He made some lung busting runs but didn’t do anything else. He scores some screamers but I don’t think he’s should be anywhere near our team. We have had these players before that turn up when they feel like it.

You don’t buy seriously in the market like we have so far only to waste money on a player that has never quite made it work.

I dunno, I think his goal and assist record is fairly decent, even if it is Italy. He is truly two footed which is rare these days and I think if you harnessed his strengths he would be very dangerous IMO.

On paper yes, personally think he has over promised and under performed given his skill set. Why take the chance when there are other options available.

If he was 22 or 23, he'd be worth a punt. But at 27 now I think he has a Wilfred Zaha type of career/trajectory about him
