Pippo on the pitch again. #offside
It's scary how much he looks like Allegri. Seriously when he celebrated the goal I was looking at him like wtf this can't be real.
His goal was an excellent goal, he did very very well to let the ball go past him and his finish was absolutely smart and sublime. In the second half he did well to hold the ball up and win some fouls. However, I don't think his performance overall was sensational, but that's normal, he's only been training for a week with us. He has to improve his chemistry with the team and that takes time. He's definitely put in the work load yesterday though. I'm not a fan of his but yesterday he impressed. Let's hope he can only improve.

Dont think he dived even once... he was getting smart fouls and I liked it.
Remember he megged one guy who then took him down but the ref played on..
--------
Anyways, very nice debut and Im sure it will only get better and better especially when he starts playing in the midfield

it wasn't excactly diving, but over-exaggeration, and it reminds me of balo, disgraceful

That's why people must stop throwing random opinions around
''oh, hes young, italian and versatile, he must play like Poli then, which makes him fodder''

His agent:
“I was at the stadium and I can say that it was a beautiful emotion also for me on the stands. I imagine what he felt on the pitch,” the agent of Bonaventura, Giocondo Martorelli, told Di Marzio.
“The debut with such an important jersey and the goal… he almost scored earlier with a nice header too. The win is what matters the most though. Milan proved to be a strong team by winning in a difficult stadium. They can have an excellent season. Playing as a side-midfielder in a 4-3-3? He can do that, when the team was down to ten men yesterday, Giacomo tracked back a lot, helping in the defensive phase.
“He has the skills to play either in the attack or in the midfield. The last day of the transfer market? Those hours were chaotic, but in the key moment Milan wanted him. They made the right move in the right moment and we are very happy.”
Oh and this important quote from Pippo's conference - Inzaghi, "Bonaventura as a wide midfielder could become very strong."
This was when he was asked about him playing LCM. Pippo then said he also has Saponara for that position who is quality.
It will take time and you must be patient, but he will, IMO, start playing as a CM.

Inzaghi before the match also said: "Bonaventura can play in midfield, but not tomorrow (vs Parma)."

Bonaventura: "I feel very good after yesterday's game against Parma. It was really weird but exciting."
Bonaventura: "Casa Milan is a beautiful place that is full of trophies. It contains all the history of Milan
Bonaventura on transfer deadline: "I went to Milano, Inter was talking with Atalanta. I was on the verge of joining them then Verona came."
Bonaventura: "At 19:00 I wasn't knowing where I will end. At 20:30 Atalanta leaders told me to go to Galliani, I couldn't believe myself."
Bonaventura jokingly: "I owe Zaccardo a dinner."
Bonaventura on his goal yesterday: "I know I had the defender on my side, I did let the ball to pass and shooted with my left foot."
Bonaventura: "I was fine in the position I played in yesterday. Closer to the goal and have more chances to score, it's a good position."
Bonaventura: "Why I always score against Inter? Not a certain reason. I try to score in every game, it just works against Inter more often."
Bonaventura: "Menez has amazing technical qualities. Plays good with his both feet, he is also fast & I think everyone saw this yesterday."
Bonaventura: "Pippo is one of the team.When I arrived I saw that the unity & enthusiasm of the group is important,everyone wants to do well"
Bonaventura: "Balotelli? I haven't heard anyone at Milan talk about him."

People wanting to get Bonaventura over Poli need to read the first pages after Poli joined our team and was hailed as a top performer and one of the best in the team.
Not saying that Bonaventura is not talented or that he's better/worse than Poli. One game at Milan, which if we take off the goal was very average, is not enough to determine how good Bonaventura will be for our team.

Good after he came on and played a role in the comeback. He will probably be the more attacking option in midfield after Monty returns and will be rotated with Poli.

He accelerates with the ball nicely and beats players with simple yet eye catching skills like the stopovers he did today a few times. Hes dynamic enough for a winger, but would be ideal in midfield, as you said.
It looked like a 4-2-3-1 at in 2nd half and Pippo has confirmed it in his interview. Bona Left wing, DeJong-Poli anchors and Honda-Menez right and center.
I am impressed by Bonaventura so far. He is calm, confident with the ball and rather fast. The only thing that worries me is that he seems a little bit thin but he is pretty much a faster version of Honda. Should be in the starting eleven.
