Seems to have Lampard's trait or arriving late in the box, can score free kicks, takes penalties and wears 8...what more can you ask for?The video look like he can shoot…I’m sure that he unlearn that here
Think you missed my jokeSeems to have Lampard's trait or arriving late in the box, can score free kicks, takes penalties and wears 8...what more can you ask for?
You say he couldn't get in the team like it's March. We've played two gamesMy guess is on loan for a year, Carney already had a season in the EPL and couldn't get into the team, doubt Casadei has a chance this season.
I would kindly ask our current players to have some of those traits. No one wants to attack the box...Seems to have Lampard's trait or arriving late in the box, can score free kicks, takes penalties and wears 8...what more can you ask for?

YouTube makes him look pretty good. Strong, great in the air, freekick specialist and determined to go forward.
That's what we're famous forCertainly a lot of money for someone who it seems has never played in front of an audience. Hopefully it turns out a masterstroke
Sorry, but I'm not sure how you can work that out. The club clearly is sweeping up young talent in UK, USA and now Italy, I think this is a move directed by Todd, who is probably and rightly concerned by the lack of potential in the pipeline from the Academy. All of the players signed have some First team experience and are highly rated. I would think that they have a much better chance of success than some of the Academy players we are letting go.I hope I'm wrong. But I can only see this guy floating on the edges and getting nowhere near the first team.
He will be sacked immediately if he shoots instead of passing it sideways !!The video look like he can shoot…I’m sure that he unlearn that here
We've signed promising 19 year olds before. They never work out. That's literally all I'm basing it on.Sorry, but I'm not sure how you can work that out.

It's true I mean there is no guarantee that this kid will stand out once he comes here. The highlights on youtube are nice but that also doesn't mean much.We've signed promising 19 year olds before. They never work out. That's literally all I'm basing it on.
Also does this guy have any first team experience?
Look it's the right play, we should be signing players like this. I'm just a pessimist.
Think there is a limit on the number of players a club can have out on loan starting this window. Max is 8 players.My guess is on loan for a year, Carney already had a season in the EPL and couldn't get into the team, doubt Casadei has a chance this season.
Loan rules don't apply to under 21s or home grown players, it doesn't really impact us massivelyThink there is a limit on the number of players a club can have out on loan starting this window. Max is 8 players.
We improved a bit this week....still can't finish thoughI would kindly ask our current players to have some of those traits. No one wants to attack the box...
I would only use 'class of...' to describe Cobham graduates but I agree about the strategy. I have not seen anything special about this lad I must say but hopefully that's just because I haven't seen enough.I am actually really pleased about this strategy. We are developing an underbelly of bright young kids that could form the cornerstone of a long term programme to bring them all through together.
A Class of '22 type of thing maybe
It's relatively low risk. 20m over 6 years, not a huge outlay. Likely is we can still sell for 30m in 3 years time if they dont break into first team. If they fail, not a huge amount lost. 3m per year on transfer amortisation.I hope these young players good otherwise we’re going to be stuck with them for years. Every young player gets hyped so I hope the scouting team have done their homework
