Franck Kessié

Teo Hernandez, who probably was the best left-back in Europe that season.

Benacer, Kessie, Tenali in the midfield three.

Salamarchos, Macias on the right.

Brahim Diaz, Kroenic was quite useful at times.

You know what I mean.

It's like you do a step forward, like Bastoni, like Kessie did, like everyone.

When you go to, even to Lazio, nobody cares.

If you go to Bologna, it's okay because you have a good relationship to Bologna.

Sample size is small-ish.

I mean, he mostly kind of shined in the second half of last season, but he was really, really great then.

and i think he has exactly the characteristics that we need on in the attack and that only really sulamana has and he's injured and also a bit of a question mark in terms of how good is he actually um the main issue was the midfield and we signed three midfielders one who's um at least in midterm, will clearly become a starter in Kessier.

He has the highest wages, reportedly 4 million net, which is really very high for Atalanta.

Yeah? Danny Ceballos? Also,

Kessie? Kessie.

Send a few pictures of the port over to these guys.

Yeah.

Mm-hmm.

Enti ɛnyɛ no, wonsɛ ma mmawu at least, eh, this boy, Franck Kessié.

[laughs]

Asanteno na anadwuma yi kra no, ɛpɛ no.

It's a pleasure to be here.

uh basically just for those who don't know which is probably most of the people i've been writing about italian football since 2003 uh in that time i've collaborated with uh juventus uh currently collaborating with milan i also work with uefa and i've also done stuff with the fa and english football so i hope that doesn't make me a nasty friend face but i might i might occasionally mention english football uh and uh by

all

means um but uh yeah that's about it and i also uh i did commentaries for seria for several years about uh about eight years ago so i'm looking forward to uh having a laugh and also discussing city and culture with you nima

I think he's going to be the under-23 player of the year.

And I think he's one of the two breakout players of the year that I've got.

Um, I would say I didn't see all of the Torino match yesterday, but a very good friend of mine who I trust, a guy called Paul Vizca told me that Torino had a player called, or have got a player called Jay Robinson, who is 19, who apparently, um, was the best player on the pitch.

So I had to say someone, no one expects Jay Robinson.

The first one is Atalanta.

I think the players they've signed, Gaetano, Christensen, Elmas, Kessie, these are smart signings.

These are players that will, if not walk into the lineup, Gaetano and Christensen in particular, Elmas and Kessie provides them with depth.

um and and they're also in talks with lang there's they're in talks with uh uh salemakers cabal there's links to those players they're they're looking good uh for me this is this is exactly how you how you they've they've had a mercado which i think is has been really really well and if i'm not mistaken juntoli is there isn't he Yeah, of course,

yeah.
