Feels good to have an attacker with threatening pace again, but he seems to be as clinical as Binho.

if he could be as good as duvan Zapata in the first year I will be happy. He can improve from that level once he gets there if he truly has potential. I really do believe in this guy.

Liked this guy's debut

a bit too Niang-esque for some mistakes, but he has potential

The only bright spark in a dismal match. He'll explode here.

Start him vs Brescia. Guy can't do no worse than Castillejo at the moment.

SHOCKING IDEA!!! This is faaaar too revolutionary for Giampaolo though.. I mean... he states that of all the strikers Samu understands what he wants the best so I think his Samu fetish will continue


In all honesty, I really hope GP stops his bs about not having enough time to train the players yet. This is now a team that has some pieces that have loads of potential and the ability to explode on the scene if given chances.. My fear is that GP wont let players like Leao play much because he has his ideas about the only possible way a system can work and this stunting the players growth. Let the players play and they'll get the system eventually.

The main players I see this happening to would be Leao and Paqueta which worries me. Hopefully GP realizes these are some of the few players on this squad that have the potential to become WC. Besides Leao and Paqueta, our most promising players who I think can be long term staples and become world class are Romagnoli, Donnarumma, Bennacer, and Theo.

Agreed 100%.

Giampaolo needs to stop playing fodder like Samu and give Leao a chance.

One of the very few good things from yesterday's game. He's till raw, but clearly got a lot of talent.

But I don't see him as a CF... would be wasted.

He was very good yesterday. I hope he gets a lot more opportunities going forward.

I saw what Aubameyang did with Pepe over the weekend.
My rectal trauma wrt Pierre will never heal :o

I think that more teams should encorporate such gentures like this
The only problem is that we score so few goals...the next time Piatek will never fucking share it with anyone :lol::rolleyes:

To get Leao's name on the scoresheet would be a dream and a great motivational boost.
I love encouraging the young talents.....fucker almost had an assist with that cross to Piatek :cry:

Imagine we had --Leao--Silva--Rebic :eek: That would be a really dynamic frontline

In this current team or in general?

Leao right now looks like he'll be better than all Inter strikers. A real gem right there, boys.
