Wait, what?

Is this how we break the curse?

Did this somehow unlock Chiesa too? Being back Balotelli and Borini if so! (Dossena can stay away; we're overstocked at left back.)

Don’t think that’s true so guessing that account is just posting for the jokes

The family all have two eyes and five fingers, so we can rule out him being born in Bootle.

Deffo not Italian. He’s called Chris and is from Huyton.

 

[StevieM]

Apparently his player idol is Virgil and his Dad’s a banker… unlike Diaz’s Dad who has a similar sounding occupation, but in a very different field.

 

[LarryHagman]

Must be thinking he'll walk into the team based on last night's showing.

30 secs to a 1 minute, why? I only changed a handful of words

That long???

 

[Dreambeliever]

Exciting prospect but almost zero chance he’ll offer cover this season as an 18 year old.

We still need another CB

Agreed, especially since Gomez is one of the rotation players.

 

[Lastboyscout]

This guy is going to be immense for us given the opportunity

He's a £30 mill signing with 14 starts in Serie A. Did you not see Huijsen play for Bournemouth last season?
We can't have him play with Nallo and the rest.

I think he's probably thinking holy Christ that looks hard, this team is so open, all the defenders are just left stranded, I'm used to playing a low block with a back three, now I'm going to be picking up red cards because it's a 4v2 and if I don't pick one up or do something genius, people will criticize me!

 

[LarryHagman]

Doubt it, he's probably quite confident.

 

[Farkmaster]

Doubt it, he's probably quite confident.

He's also Italian though. The structure of that game and how it played out was a GREAT ADVERTISEMENT FOR THE PREMIER LEAGUE (TM)

14 starts in the slowest of the top flight leagues and hardly that physical either.

Let’s see but I can’t see him getting the chance Huijsen did.

He will get the chance. You don't buy an 18 yr old for 30m to not use him. He'll probably start the carabao games and maybe relief for ibou at the end of games

Cup for sure but that’s very different to the league. I think we are buying him before someone else does, not to be a first team squad player but let’s see.

Yep. He's going straight into the first team squad.

He's looking at Konate yesterday and fancying his chances of starting next to Van Dijk by the end of September.

He's fucking 18.

Maldini couldn't look good for that second goal.

 

[Buddha]

He’ll get his chance, especially if Konate continues to struggle and / or picks up his usual niggle.

I reckon he’d hit the ground running and be hard to shift. Remember, Virg makes everyone look good / improves every CB. Give Leoni 5 games to make his mark and he’ll potentially prove another Huijsen plus muscle.
