What can any of you tell me about him?


His natural position is the right wingback, but at Atalanta and in the national team he often plays at left wing back.
He's the second option for the national team at both positions. He's got 2 goals in 7 caps.
He was formed at Racing Genk, so he played with Ndidi already in his career.


How would you rate him? I know he's not a similar player but compared to Praet or Tielemans (who I guess you follow well) would you put him on the same level, higher or lower than either of them?

When Ricardo is back he's our starting RWB. I think he's one of the best in the world. James is filling in for Ricardo but can also play on the left where we have a new young sensation who filled in for Chilwell at the end of last season. Both Thomas and Justin are pretty young though, so I'd think that Castagne has been bought to play in the LWB role opposite Ricardo with the youngsters and Fuchs backing them up.

The Rakitic return to Sevilla is now official.
Good move for Barca.

Next Vidal?

I would put him a tier below Tielemans, who clearly has the most potential of the three.
The fact he's giving Meunier a run for his money at right wing back for Belgium, should give you some confidence.
I think he'll probably serve as a replacement for Chillwell, but isn't Ricardo still out for a couple of months?

In a somewhat surprising move, Everton sign James. It wasn't that long ago that he was the next big thing lol.

James, Allan and probably Doucoure.
Nice job to strengthen the midfield.

Everton are Everton. they spend like a big club, make mostly poor buys and finish upper mid-table.

After chasing him all summer, it looks like Thomas Partey is headed to the Arsenal!

Partey is really good. That looks to be a good bit of business by Arsenal.

Losing Doku to Stade Rennes is a real bummer.
Although 26M + bonuses and a sell on clause is a great deal.
