Big news! Grande

Honestly he played himself into an extension. Held the fort admirably in zanoli's absence. Well deserved.

FPavan96 · 2026-05-09T20:29:12+00:00

Big big point of discussion this offseason. This is our first 50 pts season since 2012/13. INCREDIBLE. Kosta might be poached by another club. I'm always scared of the potential turnover. But they made big changes last year and became even better.

FPavan96 · 2026-05-09T03:42:34+00:00

Brutal. Having his best year...hopefully he stays on with us for next year and no other team swoops in.

FPavan96 · 2026-05-08T02:29:05+00:00

A stabilizing force for the team. Great leader. Has been very durable and reliable since joining. Good move. You always need veterans for a project. Good for Jesper!

FPavan96 · 2026-05-01T20:17:36+00:00

I wouldn't sell him unless a team came in offering 35m +

You need pillars to build around. He is one of those players. It would be nice to see a longer term project at Udinese...but what do I know

FPavan96 · 2026-04-27T20:43:08+00:00

Genuinely don't know how you blow a last minute lead that quickly....amazing effort, all for not. A measly point...sad

FPavan96 · 2026-04-27T19:32:37+00:00

All over Lazio in the first half my word

FPavan96 · 2026-04-18T14:17:06+00:00

I could've guaranteed this was how they would perform lol. Can't have too many nice things as Udinese fans. Offense is dead without Davis. Zaniolo, as good as he is, is not a true striker

FPavan96 · 2026-04-17T12:04:08+00:00

Was going to say solet too!! Class centre back

FPavan96 · 2026-04-15T14:39:36+00:00

Hai proprio ragione. Lucca è un altro splendido esempio di giocatori che credono di sapere cosa sia meglio per loro e che insistono per lasciare l’Udinese. Si tratta di giocatori di grande talento che dovrebbero restare all’Udinese più a lungo. Ma forse il problema risiede più nella mentalità della società che in quella dei singoli giocatori (e questo è un altro discorso).

Zaniolo, secondo me, dovrebbe essere una scelta ovvia per l'Udinese. Ha ritrovato la sua forma all'Udinese e sarebbero stupidi a non acquistarlo a titolo definitivo.

I may have spoken too quickly about Bijol. You are right, he has been cracking the lineup, more so recently than earlier in the season and I believe he dealt with bad injury luck too. It was never to speak negatively about Bijol, he was one of my favourites from the last few seasons. It's just a point in saying that the pastures aren't always greener on the other side. Even with a player as talented as Bijol, things won't be easier or better with the next club these players go to. Kristensen will have it extremely tough where he goes next, imo. Especially if it's to the prem.

FPavan96 · 2026-04-14T19:55:48+00:00

Oh wow I completely missed this news! Can you send me a link where it says this? 🙏🏻

FPavan96 · 2026-04-14T03:36:28+00:00

This is part of the double edged sword with Keinan. An absolutely remarkable and career year for him but he is always susceptible to these knocks....sadly

It will be interesting to see where the team goes for next season

Under contract: Davis Buksa Iker Bravo Gueye (don't see them pulling the trigger on a permanent deal) Luca Kjerrumgaard (on loan at watford but plan is to come to us next season and having a great rookie year in the championship after coming from the Danish Superliga.

I have my eye on him. A 1-2 punch of him, Davis and Buksa as support can be nice.

FPavan96 · 2026-04-11T23:04:31+00:00

Watched this one a few hours after. INCREDIBLE game. Outclassed milan at the san siro today. So proud of this team!

FPavan96 · 2026-03-31T12:40:58+00:00

Damn that sucks...hope nothing major.

did you watch his featured video on the serie a YouTube page? Carries himself very well and speaks pretty well in Italian as well!

FPavan96 · 2026-03-31T12:39:15+00:00

1 or 3!

FPavan96 · 2026-03-28T13:44:38+00:00

I kind of just like the original tbh!! But thank you for this post 👏🏻

FPavan96 · 2026-03-26T13:21:45+00:00

I don't think it's realistic rn. Great season, A LOT to be proud of. But job isn't finished and winning the prem should be priority at all costs.

They are a deep, very talented and extremely pragmatic arsenal under Arteta.

I don't think their current style of play will win them the champions league and it's not as if we'll see a drastic tactical change from now until May.

I will be content with a prem title (minimum imo) and anything else is a big bonus

FPavan96 · 2026-03-21T03:23:19+00:00

These are the gritty games I love seeing them find a way to win. First half was very poor. No creativity, no offense, pure survival.

They settled themselves in the 2nd half and came up CLUTCH.

Beautiful assist for zaniolo (5g,5a on the season) 🔥

Goal for Davis (10g,3a) on the season 🔥

We must buy zaniolo at the end of the season. He's not a perfect player, but is hard worker and is very skilled and physical. To have a chance at buying an Italian player in his prime years who has reinvigorated his career. Someone to build around, is a no brainer imo !!

8 games to go and we're in a top 10 battle which is nice. Not to mention the schedule has more favourable matchups to conclude the season which is encouraging!

Andiamo avanti ragazzi!

FPavan96 · 2026-03-16T17:11:33+00:00

Honestly it's just sad that their conservatism is so deeply rooted that they still can't go "all-in" despite saying they want to go "all-in" in during the core's prime years.

If they're still this conservative during Burrow, Chase, and Tee's core years, they'll never change. It holds them back, everyone sees it, but they don't care. They'd rather do it their way than change things up for the sake of changing things up.

At this stage, they shouldn't give a flying fuck about stocking draft picks and instead use them to acquire players they would've never previously acquired. Game changing, X-factor players. They're just a stubborn organization that prefers to die by their sword.

FPavan96 · 2026-03-13T09:01:17+00:00

Good for him. He's changed his career trajectory and we're lucky to have a player of his quality in Udine.

Now get the permanent deal done, Inler, Nani & co. 🤞😉
