great defender.....reminds me of nesta
AC Milan News @Milanello
Galliani: "Bonaventura is a great player, but also a great person. He started crying out of joy when he was signing the contract."
what the hell why is everyone saying that's he's a CM when the other everyone says he's never played CM?
The way u make it out to be, it seems like he is average?? I hope thats not the case. Do u believe he is better than bibiany? Stats suggests no. Btw why is everyone saying he can play LCM?
Boss Stefano Colantuono has primarily used the No 10 as a left sided midfielder in his 4-4-1-1 this season, but he has been asked to play as a Trequartista at times. One such occasion was at Milan in Week 3 when the tactician, somewhat dubiously, switched Bonaventura with Maxi Moralez. Atalanta won 1-0.
“You have to adapt in today’s football,” he states when asked about his use this term. “At this point in time I think that I can play as a left-sided midfielder and I’m happy with that. However, one day I’d like the opportunity to play five games in a row as a Trequartista. Or even in a three-man midfield…”
well is this guy that much better than Poli?
I'm really disappointed in poli, seems like a headless chicken then the composed cm I thought he would be.
still lacks consistency in that regard.
I'm going to say the gigantic mess milan was last year wasn't ideal for judging anyone. Changing tactics and coaches so often never helps younger guys (or anyone really)
So maybe if pippo can steady the ship, he'll show more consistency. Considering he's shown it in previous clubs, I don't think it's unrealistic.
We'll see

As far as I know he grew up a trequartista, which is still very prevelant role in all youth development in italy, and where best talents often play (that of CF) and as he got older showed great adaptability.

Was reading through this article and couldn't but help notice this part....
"Bonaventura, clocked as a 12-year-old by the club, has been at Zingonia since the age of 15 after impressing the outfit’s talent scout Antonio Bongiorni – a man who also delivered Atalanta the likes of Giampaolo Pazzini and Riccardo Montolivo."

I consider Bonaventura better than Poli. For me he's in the level between Poli and Montolivo. We should play in midfield, he will be better there than on wing( lacks a bit of speed).
About Poli, i was pretty happy when we got him, but the more i see him, the more i'm disappointed. He's not bad, but he doesn't bring much and i struggle to see what are his qualities. Sure he never gives up, but he isn't the best when it comes to defend and steal the ball from the adversaries. And offensively he's limited. A good squad player but nothing more. Bonaventura will be above him.

From what i've seen, just uncomparable..... different style/roles.
You could be right on level but eitherway just different.
atalanta is 1 of best clubs at developing players.
consistently produce serie A level players.
I may be way off but I remember someone saying he was wanted out because he doesn't really track back?
Again, I may be way off but just remember there was some kind of fuss of Atalanta wanting him out.
Anyone who knows more care to enlighten me?
Bonaventura's salary is expected to be just over €1 million.
Will he play CM or what?
