But he is a midfielder and he is tall. So that works.
I think if Brentford wanted him, it's a good barometer. They play a physical, aggressive style like us, so I think he'll be a really good fit as competition for Luongo.
No, you're right, I hadn't seen Di Marzio was claiming that. Hmm, that's a strange one.
Weren't they looking to loan and buy, perhaps there was something that came up they didn't want to invest in, maybe a slight knee issue but not one that's a short term issue but something that in future may be an issue.
Be a shame if there’s no option / obligation to buy, given it was reported Brentford had one agreed at less than €12M.
Can only tell so much from videos, but looks to have a bit of physicality and technical ability on the ball. Hope it gets done.
I wonder if Frimmers is right and there may be something underlying which may not be a concern in the short term, but could be a risk long term, hence the Brentford deal fell through but we're happier with a simple loan.

Could be various things really looking over a few past medical situations like this
The heart being a big one, which we've seen over recent years being a problem for a fair few players, short term it might not be a problem but as an investment it might not work.
But also, there was a player who had a slight knee injury, the first club didn't like it and he failed the medical, the next club requested the knee to be removed from the clubs insurance and signed him..

Can't see how removing the knee would get the best out of him.

More likely whatever the issue is is considered less of a risk if you're not paying £10 million for him! Medicals are largely about risk.
