Welcome Krunic! I love this new policy of signing the best performers in the league the previous season.

Depends on the expectation. But this looks like a sensible back up option, from a guy a that performed decently in the previous campaign.

If we got him to start, then we are fucked.

If he’s a decent back up I’ll be happy. If he’s anything like Nocerino first season or Kuco I’ll be ecstatic

8m is a fair price for a backup but I have no clue what to expect

backup or not, he better not be fodder

we've paid a lot more for fodder in the past

Welcome Krunic!

Should be official by tomorrow. Great price for a player who excelled with a pretty poor Empoli side last year (their midfield was solid though). Let's hope at worst he'll be a good squad player to have.

During his long interview with La Gazzetta Dello Sport, Mattia Caldara also spoke about the issue of his shirt number, which he intends to change.

"I will leave number 33 for Krunic (who wore it for Empoli). I will change my number, but I still don't know which one I will choose," he stated.

Ah that would make sense. I thought Caldara was a 3/13/33 guy though. These are my favorite three numbers as well.

Krunic played 90mins.
So he is fit as he can be. I hope GP gives him a chance in the coming match.

I hope he plays against Hellas Verona, even if it's some minutes. I don't think he'll get any minutes in our upcoming matches against Inter, Torino, Fiorentina and Genoa, so better play him when we got the chance to do so.

No highlights or impressions of how he played?

He's not good enough to start honestly. I watched the game and he did not stand out at all. He will be nothing but a bench option. But.... at least we have cover for Kessie now.

Not great, not terrible. Doesn't do really exciting or really stupid stuff, feels a bit like a place holder. Most outstanding quality seems to be his areal strength.

Eh, I'd say he, as a CM, is very good with the ball at his feet and very poor defensively.
He clearly has a nice technique and his passing seems pretty good as well, but he also seems to have an attacker's mindset on defensive duties.
He was ball watching, positioning himself too far high up even though we had already gotten what should've been the match-winning goal and even though he needed to be extra careful after Kessie had been replaced with Rebic.
He'd track back at times, but only to refrain from making tackles or pressing. He had just come off the bench, but 33yo Biglia was the one midfielder who'd press them outside our box 90 minutes into the game.

This is also on Pioli for allowing that madness to go on until they equalized. Sure, all the 3 subs were made, but there was still the option to move Hakan down to the midfield. That clearly didn't happen since Hakan was even further up than Suso in those last 15 minutes. It wasn't a 4-2-3-1, 4-3-3 or a proper 4-1-4-1.
It was 2 CBs, 2 wingbacks not fullbacks, 1 midfielder and 5 attackers.
