Also compared him to Benzema and Lampard. Over the top or at his best can he reach those heights ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't really see the Benzema and Lampard comparisons, Kaka maybe a bit, but think more Totti or Cassano. @allani made some comparisons to the way Gazza ran with the ball that I can see and Zaniolo's ability to just move the ball at the last possible moment after a defender commits is very much like what we saw with Jack. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying he's nailed on to be amazing as he's had his problems both physically and mentally. If there is a coach that has a chance of getting the best out of him though it's Emery. Let's see, the potential is there, he's now 24 and for him to realise his potential this has to work, so you'd think he'll be bang up for it. Anyway to answer the question at his best he'd be one of the best players on the pitch in the type of game Kaka, Benzema or Lampard would be playing in... 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Misleading headline because the body of the text says “Villa were last night completing the final paperwork of Nicolo Zaniolo’s move from Galatasaray.” so they don’t know if it was completed last night or will be today so they shouldn’t say it was sealed.

maltesemike Posted August 18, 2023 Share Posted August 18, 2023 Got a good feeling about this one. Bags of potential, a point to prove, a dogged and fiery Mediterranean temperament coupled with skill, strength and physicality. I think the fans will take to him and he will thrive off it. Andiamo Nicolo!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also Young Serie A Player of the Season in the year he broke through into the Roma team and was definitely expected to be the key attacking player for Italy at Euro 2020 prior to his injury (and the delay in the tournament due to Covid). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
