Yup. Maybe they feel Vyner is our future RB but needs more time to grow. A 30 year old could give us a few years until Zak is ready. Just a thought anyway. Full backs are hard to get with genuine quality. The team of the season RB is 35 so at 30 he could have 5-6 years left in him at this level.

Example of Alves already given here and of course a Ronaldo (aged 32) transfer is being talked as being a possibiltywith fees of over £130m being talked about and one of the Prems best strikers was Ibrahimovic who's 35 I think. Granted that these are the worlds best but I think we're now just seeing the results of the increased professionalism of the last 10 years especially, feeding through at all pro levels. 35/36 is the new 30 I reckon!

That being said, obviously he's still fairly young & could be trained to play right-back? Does anyone have any idea what position he played while on loan at Accrington? If he is potentially going to play right-back for us then I'd hope that's where he'd play while out on loan. I just hope we have an idea as to whether it's a viable option sooner rather than later rather than wasting time over something that isn't viable.

But with regards to Pisano, I'd say he looks very much a viable option, he has decent experience although he does seem to attract his fair share of yellow cards but a bit of nastiness in a squad wouldn't go a miss.

Fordy62 Posted June 20, 2017 Report Share Posted June 20, 2017 Well... his Missus appears to be an English speaker. That's all I have to add I'm afraid.

WRERE Posted June 20, 2017 Report Share Posted June 20, 2017 Never seen him play but he has good experience with over 100 games in both the Serie A and B. He was Hellas Verona's 3rd top scorer when they were in the Serie A in the 2015/2016 season with 5 goals. Seems like a solid signing and it's good to see us looking for someone with some experience.

He was a RB at Accrington as well. I like him there. He's a smooth athlete who I think moves well enough to stay in front of quick wingers. As I've said he's only played 25 or so matches at senior level all ag RB. Forced hand or not, it seems to be where he is heading. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yet he managed to spread them out enough to only be suspended once all season. I am not to worried about the couple of injuries he has had, I wouldn't be expecting him to play 46 games anyway. Also, I just had a look at his agents profile and he appears to be the most valuable asset they have, if we are getting him OOC that looks like a good deal. https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/studio-assist-amp-partners/beraterfirma/berater/2827 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's an achievement to get through a game in Italy without a booking. The refs are so much different to here.

cidered abroad Posted June 20, 2017 Report Share Posted June 20, 2017 In some ways, if this is an actual signing in the offing, I'd have preferred for this meeting not to have been made so public. Unwanted publicity during negotiations could lead to others sticking their noses in? As for Verona, I've been there twice in summer to the Arena di Verona to see Aida and La Traviata. It's a beautiful city and it's somewhere I'd like to return to again. If he comes here, the culture is different to southern European cities but he should enjoy the city of Bristol.

Selred Posted June 20, 2017 Report Share Posted June 20, 2017 If other clubs are alerted from either finding out on OTIB or Twitter then this guy needs a new agent. Any half decent agent would of let every club in the Championship and abroad that his client was OOC. I don't believe this will hinder anything.
