Atalanta are interested
Good move if he plays. I don't know anything about Matondo, not seen him play. He's a winger, Right? I have an innate distrust of out and out wide players as they're either in a game or they're not, there doesn't seem to be an in between unless they're intelligent, and most wide players aren't clever footballers. Hoilett has got a brain, knows when to come inside, drop off, take positions where he isn't isolated. The rest of the Wingers we've had over the past few years don't have much in terms of brain power. NML, Kadeem Harris, Josh Murphy, and i doesn't seem like Ojo has broken the mould.
Gluey will know better than me, but whenever I've seen Matondo playing for Schalke lately it's looked like he's struggling, he's not struck me as being close to the standards of an Italian Champions League side - Schalke have been poor virtually every time I've seen them recently mind.
Matondo used to play through the middle quite often for our Academy team when I watched him, but I think he was exclusively used as a winger by Wales at age group level and he was definitely effective when he played out wide then.
Atalanta won 5-2 today, they are top of the league and have scored 13 goals in 3 games.
I reckon its time Rabbi came home, tell him to stop in Turin on the way to pick up Aaron
If he signs for us perhaps we can tempt him with 20% off in the club shop, and his immediate family , on a serious note exposure with us would be good for him and Wales , would he be a pick each week though
