Oh and by the way... It's Conti's day today. He's going to be a fan favourite I feel. The passion he has for the shirt even before joining is quite surprising. I've followed him over the last year, he's not an exceptional nor world class fullback.. however he's a pretty good one and for a 23 year old, getting 8 goals and 5 assists (more than Abate+De Sciglio combined total in their careers probably) in his second season in Serie A is impressive... but we can't just look at the stats and forget about his game. I don't think he's bad defensively as most people say and I really really like how high up he presses and positions himself when we have the ball - it reminds me of Cafu's positioning. And for a player like Cafu to thrive, he needed balls delivered over & behind the defence from Pirlo, I hope Locatelli/Biglia/Hakan will be offering those. Silva's finishing is going to need to improve his finishing because he's going to be getting a lot of service from both fullbacks, both wingers and our midfielders.
Conti is expected to arrive in Linate very shortly and will head to do his medical tests in the evening.
