Wow star signing.
9 goals i 101 appearance.
@Joe He is a defensive midfielder, what did you expect? Barella this year had 36 appearances 3 goals, make the analogy. Marcos Antonio is 22 years old. I think we will enjoy some nice football next year.
He´s defending midfielder, so he doesn´t score much. Good signing.
Yup just continue to import South Americans , Balkan players and ignore young Italian ones .
@Tom … are there any good Italian players?
