So its official now.
He's been receiving heavy praise from his team-mates and coach recently and apparently they call it a 'big coup' from us as do the Italian media.PSG and EPL teams were heavily linked with him too.
I have watched some videos of his and he definitely reminds me of Motta.He does have a similar style.I rate Motta myself and if can turn out to be like him(early in his career),it'd be great tbh.I mean we'd be talking about a future Marchisio replacement in some 3-4 yrs but obviously its too early too call and i wont get too excited yet but i'll post some comments i got it off twitter.
Pescara pres. Sebastiani on Mandragora "He will set stadiums alight, like Verratti, they have different characteristics but same mentality."
Campagnaro on Mandragora "Like Thiago Motta? For me Mascherano, who I have also played with for Argentina. Similar tactical wickedness."
Hugo Campagnaro on Mandragora "When I was told that he was 18 I swear I thought it was the typical locker-room joke. I couldn't believe it."
Pescara's Hugo Campagnaro on Mandragora "He's a boy with enormous potential & with a mentality that is rare for an 18-yr old."

TBH, I don't think that Lemina wil be purchased. The injuries he is having are killing him .

well considering that we have the option to choose that's cool, I am sure JUVENTUS will make the best decision for their own good,

He will remain at Pescara until June.
I think he'll be loaned out again next year like Berardi.Cant see him breaking into the Juventus team so early.

I can see him loaned out another season if Hernanes stays, but whenever I've watched him with the national team and with Genoa before, he looked excellent. One of the kids in which I have the highest hope in italian football. Wouldn't look out of place in our team, but with Marchisio, Pogba, Khedira, Sturaro, Pereyra, Asamoah, Hernanes and Padoin its too much.
I expect Padoin to leave this summer and Lemina not to get signed, then Mandragora to come back when Hernanes leaves this or next year.

Yeah, there is no way that Lemina is going to be signed. We can't risk 12m on someone who is always injured and hasn't showed much. Lemina and Hernanes were very hasty signings IMO. Hernanes shouldn't have been signed. I hope that Hernanes and Padoin leave permanently and maybe we can loan Lemina for another season and decide the year after? There is no space for Mandragora even next season. We already have PMK, sturaro, asamoah pereyra on the bench (If we play 352). I don't want to see someone with huge potential like Madragora rot in the bench like we are seeing with Rugani.

Re: Rolando Mandragora
Assuming we continue with the 3-5-2 next yr,i am sure Rugani will get enough playing time next yr.I am sure the management would've discussed this with him because we have rejected like 20 odd offers for him and strongly believe he'll be the future of our defense.And he's homegrown to boot.
Our backline is ageing.I am confident he'll break into the first team pretty soon.No reason to panic.
As for Mandragora,i think its better to handle him the way we are doing with Berardi.

Barzagli is turning 35, I think this will be his best season, can't see him maintain this level for much longer so Rugani will be fine. Even with a back four he will get time, Allegri is great with youngsters.
Mandragora could play in half the teams in the serie a, so a loan would be good. Maybe stay in pescara if they get promoted.
With Berardi we did great until this year I think. It feels like he outgrew Sassuolo, doesn't play as focused anymore. We should have brought him back instead of one of Zaza and Mandzukic.

I don't like berardi's behaviour tbh. He is a bad boy on the pitch and he chears for Inter.
Kinda reminds me of Cassano.

No way, young Cassano was a hurricane. much rowdier than his older more calm self. Berardi looks like a nun compared to him.
He does have a problem with the yellow cards though, still excellent player. Was great today vs roma until he missed the pk. Remember Pirlo, Bonucci and Cannavaro played for inter, doesn't mean anything.

Very good debut. Even though he played for like 8 minutes, he was influential.

Re: Rolando Mandragora
Me too lol. Hopefully he stays and continues to grow. Great news we bought Bentacur as well , from what I've seen from Youtube he looks like a great passing midfielder, tall and very good at starting actions from the mid.
Would love to see us follow what Bayern did with their youngsters such Kimmich,Sanchez,Bernat,Coman etc.
We don't have to buy great players and have them sit on the bench , instead we can pick a few talented youngsters and grow them up.
and I do think we are going to do that , Rugani resulted very successful , we got Caldara and now Bentacur...

Re: Rolando Mandragora
We are definetly following the path Bayern chose to take and had success with.
The difference is there are much more loan deals going on in Serie A and i like it. Allows us to keep only the best (Dybala, Rugani, Pjaca this season) while others will develop faster at Atalanta than on the bench.
Rolando Mandragora #38, Pjaca, Caldara, Spinazzola, Lirola, Bentancur are the main projects we have for the future. Not bad.
As for Mandragora he only played 4 minutes lol

Re: Rolando Mandragora
We should pick the best talents from Serie A as we can easily get them but also I would say we should keep an eye for french football.
There is a big amount of U23 talents coming , especially from Lyon and Monaco.
Tolisso,Lemar,Mendy,B.Silva,Lacazette (25yrs)
Plus U20 talents such as Tousart,Diakhaby,Mbappe etc.
You can pick any of those guys and with the success ratio we have in transfers you can say they will be important players for us.
I could see Tolisso as our b2b , Lemar as a creative hardworking LW ,or young defensive players such Diakhaby (fantastic CB) and Tousart (DM/CM).

Checking on our boy. Mandragora has started both games for Crotone as their anchor in a 4-4-2.
He apparently (didn't watch it) play well his first game and then got motm in the second one, against Verona.

Re: Rolando Mandragora
Is Mandragora a regista or a box to box midfielder? Is he similar to Verratti or Marchisio or neither?

Re: Rolando Mandragora
I've not seen him much but he is more of a CDM who's best position is before defense kinda Xabi Alonso type. He is solid defensively and has a good technique.

Regista. One of the few players that I've seen that play regista since being a kid. Usually the end converting AMs or CMs to the role like Pirlo or Marchisio. Regista through and through. Alonso is a good comparison. The kid himself says he is inspired by Thiago Motta.

Re: Rolando Mandragora
Just saw that he was playing with the U21 today. He was captain of the U20 iirc. Now he moved up and was playing CB in the 4-1 win vs Slovenia.
