Leonardo Bonucci

[Sheikh rattle and roll]

I do not want to be critical and I do not watch Italian football but I was really hoping for young hungry players this window aged around the 23/24 mark
With Nolito as well I am not sure .I just feel we have an ageing squad as it is

I actually think he'd do a decent job as a RWB.

Prefer to see him as a targetman.

Think Bonucci he will be good for another 4 years, I get the feeling city think a few academy lads will be ready in next 12/18 months so don't want to block their paths.

Come on ffs! Stones is 22, Rulli is 24, Gundogan is 25, Sane is 20.

Add that to Sterling 21 and De Bruyne 25. We are fine.

There's a reason Pep has publicly sought after Bonucci for years.

Get it done!

You know nothing about this player other than his age, how are you not ashamed to make a post like this without at least researching beyond that?

At RWB he'd be able to get forward still, but his lack of end product wouldn't be as impactful as he wouldn't be one of the main focuses of attack. He obvious has great work rate, and fantastic ability on the ball though...he would do well.

At 29 he is at his prime and if he can be the difference between us winning more trophies over the next 5 years then the cost becomes more irrelevant.

Yes I have seen him obviously for Italy and Juve but I do not watch Italian football every week , do you (I would be surprised) .I am also sure you haven't scouted him extensively .Like I said age concerns me that's my opinion . Yes I note those young players KDB and sterling etc , I also note Silva ,Yaya,Vinnie,Clichy,Saba,Sagan etc etc
No shame from me pal just my opinion

That's fair but of those Vinnie being fit would arguably get in any defence in the world, Clichy is as consistent at what he does as ever and Sagna had a great season last year. Silva on his day is still one of the best midfielders in the league.
