Since we dont have huge funds for transfers this summer would it be worth signing Leonardo Spinazzola on a free transfer to fill the vacancy at LB for a year.
Yeah but if we load up with enough injury prone left backs surely at least one of them will be fit at any given time.He's off to Napoli apparently and he loves an injury as much as our other left backs
I really wouldn't recommend it. He has not been the same since his injury in 2021 and was frequently on the bench at Roma even when fit over the last two years. He is talented but struggled physically in Serie A last season and has no real pace to speak of, I think he would be a liability in the PL.
Well that worked out well last seasonYeah but if we load up with enough injury prone left backs surely at least one of them will be fit at any given time.
Extremely injury prone.
Is he really though? He played 36 times for Roma last season and 40 the season before.

How much would it cost to bring him and Calafiori?
I don't know what would be fair in wages for Spinazzola but Calafiori looks pretty good but he will probably go to Juve so who knows what will happen. 22 year old Left footed CB and Spinazzola sounds good. Watch Calafiori to to Juve for 25 - 30 million and Spinazzola who knows but we will not go for him.I’ll just check my Italian players menu list where all the prices are printed….
A cursory glance at the OP says Spinazzola is free. So I guess your question is how much would Calafiori cost?
That injury must’ve done a real number on him. He was recorded as the fastest player at the last euros, so for him to now have no pace….wow.

Agree, absolutely.We won’t go for Spinazzola. 31, knackered by injury, apparently lost his pace. Close to zero chance, and rightly so.
I’d bet my bottom dollar Calafiori will go to Juve too. Motta has gone there, and it’s an Italian player in Italy. It’s 103% Juve. Shame because he looks a quality player at a reasonable price. Versatile too. We’ll probably get Bremer for loads more and they’ll replace him with Calafirori
