Summer Mercato 2022

[Aficio]

Does anyone know if Kjaer is back from the start of next season? He was never fast and his true strengths were his technical skills and appreciation of space. He also organizes others well.

I’m saying this as Kalulu did more then well deputizing the past few games. Shadowing Kajer and learning to play smart without the physical gifts (really just height) make the decision to get a CB as redundant. I worry adding someone limits the growth of Kalulu and Gabbia. If the latter two continue to progress well, then we can take another type of Kalulu project.

I’ve been ok with Saele but now that Leao is exploding, we need balance. Teams are going to continue to double and triple team him. This also limits the space for Theo. It will be up to the RW to compensate and punish opponents particularly in CL. I think that also opens space for Diaz or whoever is CAM. Who this is is yet to be seen. A new starter here that is aggressive and wiling yo defend is key.

I think the number 179 cm of Kalulu is wrong or obsoleted. 184 cm is the right number. As the following image, he about the same as Samu (182 + hair), Theo (184).

Don't know if he faked   184 cm (6 ft 1/2) is not bad, just 1 cm shorter than Romag and Gabbia.
