Well He was valued at £1m not long ago, not sure if he's worth 800% more than that all of a sudden , time will tell.

I had serious doubts until I checked his numbers & they weren't too bad for £8M. Especially as he has the frame & physical attributes that can be worked with by a manager who is great at coaching individual players.But all that aside, the point was that he hasn't looked "out of his depth" & has shown some positive signs that can be worked with.And at the same time, accepting that there are areas of his game that are weak & definitely need working on too. He's not the finished article. But he's not out of his depth either.

Dont see the point of signing him if zaniolo is still getting game time ahead of him. Another ghing that annoyed me today was that decision Zaniolo is shite

What about all of Zaniolo's horror shows though?
