This is the way to play Danilo
Every night I've been hugging my pillow
Dreaming dreams of our Danilo
And sweet Lodi who waits for me
Show me the way to play Danilo
I've been weeping like a willow
Crying over my Danilo
And sweet Lodi who waits for me
Sca-la-la-la-la-la-la-la (Scarpa!)
Sca-la-la-la-la-la-la-la (Scarpa!!)
Sca-la-la-la-la-la-la-la (Scarpa!!!)
And Lodi who waits for me

….then straight into “It’s just like watching Brazil!!!”

Alright Jive Bunny! Let’s just say I’m going to want to see some royalties!

Personally this is the one CB option I'm a bit dubious about due to his age & lack of experience in Europe. I think its more vital in this position than in cm like Danilo.

I may just be talking myself into accepting an inevitable gazumping from another team though.

Maybe but if we are planning 3 cb’s with the experience of Felipe or Boly with him it might be ok.

Would be nice to get one of these South American youngsters in to bulk out the squad now that most of our ex-youngsters count towards the 25.

Agreed. Not sure I agree with that it is harder to transition to the centre back role than it is for a central midfielder. The game is so fast in midfield, players in the Premier League are so technically gifted as well, we saw how games passed Dani by when he first came over. At least at centre half most of the game is played in front of you, it is about matching the physicality (which he looks built for).

While I agree about the position, it's more about mistakes being punished in terms of young center halves - remember Lascelles getting stock early on. Provided his mentality is bang on I'd imagine he'll be fine, and the club will know much more about him than any of us on here.

Fair, but I think you are protected a little more when you are part of a three.

Maybe they will make mistakes but the payoff is worth it assuming they progress.

Danilo is probably worth double what we paid already and he's only played 15 games.

I wonder if we're trying to operate with more secrecy after the Ibanez deal was leaked and then gazumped?

I really don’t think that makes a difference. Agents will be banding their players around to all sorts especially those who fancy a massive pay day in the desert

Yeah agents aren't keeping anything a secret at all. It'll be the opposite, especially for us. I can see the bigger teams having some threat if it isn't kept quiet but for us, I wouldn't have thought so.
