Rafalove Posted April 5, 2022 Share Posted April 5, 2022 (edited) Tbh I’d prefer more of a pacy type. So we can push further up the pitch, now t that I think Botman is as slow as he is often made out to be. Edited April 5, 2022 by Rafalove Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why? He’s the technical director- he won’t be coaching him or having much to do with him personally I’d have thought? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You didn’t, but Kanji who I replied to was suggesting he’d be going there FOR Maldini. I just don’t think it’s much of a draw for a player (of Botmans age particularly) that some might think it is, especially when he wouldn’t be imparting any of his skills or experience etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Milan’s pursuit of Botman has been going on for quite some time and Maldini has played a part for sure. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Small sample size of course Same here, watched a bit of him , Carlos and Badiashile. Out the 3 based on watching 2 or 3 games each, the Monaco lad was the best.

Seemed to be outrageously good at winning the ball without going to ground and reading the game. Hope we go back in for him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Botman does seem to like a bit of a push. Badiashile at times could be Woodgatelike in the way he was winning the ball. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does seem AC are laid back and looking at other targets. Also pretty stocked as is. That could just be another layer of brinksmanship on Milans part though! We will soon see. I am just relaxed and happy that if we don't get Botman we will get someone just as potentially great. Good times. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stifler Posted May 28, 2022 Share Posted May 28, 2022 Don’t AC already have 2 of the highest rated young CB’s? I’d really like us to go for Inácio from Sporting Lisbon as well, based on nothing but FM and FIFA though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just get Dubs to play it t o him if we want to go long. Underrated player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep and both are the same age as Botman, so unless they are planning to sell one of them I can’t see it happening. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
