Dani Olmo

[Mad 4 It]

Wouldn't mind it but it's difficult not to see him as a Kovacic/Nunes type signing rather than one that immediately elevates us.

Yeah more average to help us become average ffs

That’s not how we think so it’s not very likely is it.

He’s played less than 1800 mins in all comps for 3 consecutive seasons, which equals less than 20 full games a season. He’s a sicknote, misses at least half of the season through injury. Hasn’t been able to get back to form since the 20/21 season. For reference Rodri, Alvarez and Ederson played 4300, 3600 and 3700 mins last season

But Pep obviously backs himself and the medics to get him fit and in form? Pep will sign off on this one as it doesn’t seem a rush transfer like Nunes was?

People moaning about olmo
Let’s be honest most of us didn’t watch rodri, KDB or Gundo or Bernardo that much before they joined
I include myself in that statement

Txiki and the medical team, it would be addressed and looked way before pep gets told who we are getting.

A few big clubs want him so he can’t be as shit as some are suggesting

I mean he doesn't get in ahead of our starting 11 anyway so him just being available off the bench and for cup games is fine.

Prob would have moved last summer but he coming off another injury again so signed a new deal with the clauses.

 

[Tb1981]

And we know what we need
We need cover for rodri in midfield
And someone who can create (like Kev) chances for our attackers
Sometimes it’s the right qualities for the team not the player

Olmo is a very good player. I'd prefer Eze, but I think the former would be a good addition. 60M is too much for someone with his injury record, though.
