I must admit I don't know much about him, but if he can't play every game this season I still think we would have enough cover with our current crop of center backs

Schar and Burn played more than they should have last season because Lascelles and Botman were out. We should be going into this season with four top quality CBs capable of playing in any game of the season, and then a bonus Lascelles for use in early round cup games.

He's good - honestly next level.  If it wasn't for injuries he'd be in a top side

Looks like part of a longer video I watched of him last night (bit Dennis Wise scouting), and yeah, I'm all in now... really hope we get him!!

Saw alot of Huijsen last season and he looks very similar. Not surprising we went after him first and now onto Scalvini.


Scalvini is a sensational talent - quite a few have already said he plays all 4 positions at the back and as a DM - it’s what EH loves 

 

IF we sign him, don’t be surprised to see him in a back 3 also on occasions  - Howe will deploy him in the press, so he ends up in CM and can use his footballing ability when in the midfield - we did the same with Schar against Rice

 

I just think he’s perfect - and at £43m you are buying a guy that can be with you 10 plus years or you can sell for a big profit

From the little I’ve seen of him, it’s easy to see where injury comes from; he’s a brick wall that gets in the way of everything. But he’s fearless in the attack.

You can see in that video that he clearly does alot of the pressing into midfield for Atalanta. So he'll fit right into that as Burn and Schar both do it well when needed.  I'd be shocked if we get for him as little as £43M though.
