Manini Posted 29 April 2021 Share Posted 29 April 2021 The parallels between Atalanta and Leicester are mental you know. It blows my mind at how good they are these days compared to 10 years ago. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ric Flair Posted 29 April 2021 Share Posted 29 April 2021 He would be incredible. I dismissed us going for him last summer as I felt his style of play is very unique to the system Atalanta play and if we were to move him in to a back 4 that he might not be as good. However he has followed up last seasons form with another immense season and as we are possibly heading for a back 3 long term ourselves then he is possibly the best left wingback in Europe that's not currently at one of the elite clubs already. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Top quality player but I wonder what our plans would be? You'd reckon a potential loan 2nd half of the season with Thomas. That and Ricardo/Timmy being deployed at RM, the fact Gosens also plays LM and with his skillset even capable of playing centre mid, and it's possible he's being brought to cover a number of positions on top of the fact he's a very good player.

If we're going to compete on all fronts then we need players who are ready to come in and there won't be a drop in quality. Ricardo/Timmy as RB/RWB Gosens/Thomas/Timmy as LB/LWB is good strength in depth. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is just I would expect Ricardo, Gosens and Castagne would all want to play every game. Would be a great signing regardless though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GingerrrFox Posted 29 April 2021 Share Posted 29 April 2021 Don’t think Ricky will be here much longer IMO so this makes sense as another left footer is needed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FoxesWalk Posted 29 April 2021 Share Posted 29 April 2021 This guy would probably be top of my list of wing backs that we can realistically sign, was hoping for him last summer. Hope it comes off! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its the natural squad/club progression if we want to be a top 4 club! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do another year with us and go for about £18-25m next summer with only a year on his deal left. Justin will be back and can play any of the full back or in the back 3.

Justin obviously also on both sides, Kevin for wing back cover also - starting to look pretty stacked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

turlo Posted 29 April 2021 Share Posted 29 April 2021 I thought we could be after a left footed full back as a starter with JJ out for some time and question marks over Ricardo's recovery . With European football Castagne and Ricardo would be competing for the righted sided spot and Thomas as back up on the left (Castagne could cover the left as well) JJs recovery/fitness to then be assessed towards the end of the year and if all was going well with his recovery he'd be competing for the left back spot with Thomas possibly going out on loan for 6 months.
