He barely played last year in Serie A — Busio got a lot more run — and looked just like a big guy who could run a bit, but there’s a lot of value in that, imo! Units who can move, it’s my thing.
I think I’ve only watched a cup match or two this year, though, since Serie B isn’t really streaming, so no idea how he’s been other than just getting minutes. Novakovich played a lot more earlier in the year, but Pohjanpalo has been on fire and keeping him out, I think.
Vanoli’s done a great job, I thought they were toast. They made some really bizarre personnel decisions going up to Serie A, but I think they may have gotten rid of the American dude behind most of that.
Speaking of Vanoli, this popped up on my timeline today and just reminded me what a bad ass side it was.
