I haven't played FM19 yet, any good?
Barella is a good player though and shown as much this season - only issue I would have is that not MANY Italians come over to England and find success. It would also be far too much when we could probably get Diawara for a similar price (Who is the better player)
Though £35,000,000 seems to be the new £10,000,000 in modern day football. He is absolutely nothing like Dembele though, he's definitely more Winks, probably a better end product than Winks if anything. Him and Winks in midfield would be excellent as both like to play football but they would 100% need a ball winner with them in a 433.
Here's a clip of him against Milan.
I know people don't tend to like YouTube comps and prefer these every touch videos to gauge a better understanding. As you can see he's a good little player but he IS very little and MAY get bullied in the Premier League.
This year edition is brilliant mate. And barella is a star as well.
