SCOUTING REPORT: RICCARDO CALAFIORI

The Scouting Report returns to TCOAG, Harry Symeou brings you his thoughts on Riccardo Calafiori, the Bologna and Italy defender being heavily linked with a move to Arsenal. What's great about him? Where does he still need to improve? Is he the right man to bolster Mikel Arteta's defensive unit further? We discuss all of the above and more on this episode.

I think romano said up to 50% for basel on profit. So if its 50m i understand its 50% of the 46. 23 for basel 27 for bologna

How come no time stamp

I want him now

Jose said Mo Salah, and KDB weren’t good enough 😊

[@krishkr7]

We might have to sell kiwior or zinchencko

[@stephanemorin7145]

both can go...

[@AndyJackson-w2m]

You mean we should sell 2 Arteta disaster signings for less than what we paid for them?

[@stephanemorin7145]

@@AndyJackson-w2m yes we should

[@BasmaShariq]

literally every player has injuries and not all are registered , especially at youth levels, saliba missed half a season 2x times before finally joining arsenals first team and then missed half a season last year. everyone raved about thomas parteys perfect injury record and i almost forgot he is still an arsenal player by the amount or in better terms , lack of games he has played for us... 50 mill for such a prospect is cheap

[@AndyJackson-w2m]

Do you think Arteta paying Man City 80m for the 2 injury prone bench warmers and shockingly poor Zinchenko and Jesus was cheap?

[@AndyJackson-w2m]

After Arteta assured us that "Qualifying for CL generates huge income and attracts world class players" and the club yet again raising ticket prices by 10%, personally i think he's taking the piss if signing an injury prone defender from Bologna is the best he, Edu and our scouting team can do.

What an absolute weapon you are

@@DC94359 The truth is always a powerful weapon and thanks again for your donation blud xx

[@jc6087]

Yeah because idiots think when someone tries to break your legs you're now "prone" to having your legs broken. Calling Calafiori "injury prone" is tantamount to saying he is "susceptible to intentional leg breakers" and what player isn't? What player has an adamantium skeleton? English is easy, how can so many people not know basic English? We've had the dictionary since the 1600's there's no excuse for people to not understand the meaning of words.

[@AndyJackson-w2m]

As if Arteta and Arsenal's medical team would ever sign an injury prone player? 😅 These are professional people!

[@1987simple1987]

Why are we signing such a injury prone player for so much money??? This is awful. You address the one big injury a few years ago but he has had a lot of injuries since then. The season he returned from the huge injury he then had 3 hamstring muscle injuries keeping him out for 6 games, 7 games and then 11 games all in the same season. The next season he had 4 more injuries missing a total of 20 more games. The following season he had another 4 injuries and missed another 16 games. That is four back to back seasons where he has missed huge amounts of games. This signing will be awful and a 4th left back option who cant stay fit along with Tierney, Tomiyasu and Zinchenko. That also does not include Timber who we wont know about his recovery and how he comes back until later in the season.

[@virupakshawalla5734]

If that is a real injury record at his age its horrendous. 😢.

Well for only the 2nd time in 5 years Popeye i actually agree with you.

[@AndyJackson-w2m]

Don't forget your best mate Kiwior too...the only CB who ducks corners to tie up his laces😂

[@virupakshawalla5734]

@@BasmaShariq you made your own point. Injury prone players a disaster. Partey didn’t play that many minutes at Athletico should have been the red flag. Paying someone 200g a week for less hslf a season is 500g. Messi wages lol
