Lorenzo Pellegrini

[Aevi]

Tidbit on Pellegrini:

"A technically gifted, two-footed central midfielder, Pellegrini has a range of strengths to his game. With an impressive first touch, he is comfortable receiving the ball under pressure, possessing quick feet to shift away from the opposition.

The 21-year-old occasionally pops up wide on the right, demonstrating his dribbling skills and ability to deliver dangerous crosses to Edin Dzeko. He usually features as a driving force in the centre of the pitch, however, carrying the ball forward and finding teammates' runs with raking passes.

Although he has an eye for goal, scoring a breakaway strike in a recent 3-0 win over Torino, Pellegrini remains diligent in his defensive duties. He uses his tall frame to jostle for possession in midfield, looking to play quick passes to set Roma on the counter-attack."

Emery great relationship with Monchi could help us to buy him but still don't think Roma would sell after just one season. maybe if big offer like at least 30M they bought him for 10M euros

My spidey senses are not tingling. He's just signed for Roma, we basically never sign Italian players, I imagine they'll be keen to keep him etc. I don't see it happening. We should be targeting players at slightly smaller clubs e.g Torreira, Zakaria etc

 

[LeafsBro]

If we could get both players that would be awesome imo. Pellegrini is a really talented young player. My concern is whether we would be able to sign him before some of the ‘bigger’ clubs swoop in.

Gotta move quick on this so bigger teams don’t get him before us! We can’t drag our feet like we usually do.....

How good is he on FM18?

 

[Garrincha]

Say bye to Xhaka.

Pellegrini & Seri running the show now.

 

[Stannis]

Would like him, but this could get very pricey

 

[Furious]

Been linked to **** players only so this a welcome change. Exciting player.

 

[ggunner12345]

Reads to good to be true but sounds like the CM we've all been dreaming of for many seasons. Basically the opposite of Ramsey.

What an oddly put together compilation

 

[dashsnow17]

So who is this chap? A sort of all-rounder?

 

[NieThePiet]

Playing against Saudi Arabia at the moment, starting 11.

 

[Arsenal1508]

We should have closed the Golovin transfer last year. He is going to star in this World Cup. That guy is a Santi clone.

Always difficult to judge on youtube clips. Do we have any Roma fans on here or anyone who has watched him a lot?

I've seen more of Demirbay than of Pellegrini, but they both look like good options. I was just checking out their stats on Squawka and their pass completion rate, key passes and chances created were almost identical this season. Demirbay's defensive stats were a little better. I know he's really good with the set pieces and can move the ball.
