Bruno’s output is insane for an attacking midfielder, even factoring in the league he’s playing in. Felix looks like he can go onto become world class. However I’m sceptical when it comes to the Portuguese league since Markovic (I’m still hurt by that!). Other alternatives are Brandt, Havertz and the youngster from Lyon. Also, L’Equipe have said we’re interested in Fekir again.
Hmm good question - he’s definitely not been a flop but I wouldn’t say he’s been a big success. For £120k, that is (or at least was) the level for key / best players in the team. And he’s not at that level. Having said that, he has contributed in a number of roles at a decent level and has contributed to a fair few goals. Whilst he’s been a solid utility player, we need to sign players who are experts in the roles.
For me it’s the missing piece of our first 11 but whoever we sign has to have creativity, goals AND workrate and tactical nous. This player will control a game for us, much like KdB does for City.
Is that remotely realistic though? City would probably rather lose money than sell him to their closest rivals!
Haha wasn’t suggesting he’s a target but he’s the type of player we need. I do think Leroy Sane could be available in the summer - he would be perfect in our front 3.
Apparently Isco is available. He was once the darling of the Madrid fans - certainly has the footballing skills - not sure about attitude.
Zidane loves Isco so doubt he’ll be going anywhere. More likely to get rid of bale benzema and asensio
That’s what I thought.....but sky gossip reporting this morning that he’s told Bale and Isco to find new clubs. Obviously it’s the same papers that make up 99% of what we read but why let that stop a good discussion
Given him at left full back led directly to us being in cl at all and his assists led to us being in a cl final I'd say he has been well worth every penny. Huge contribution over others who should have done more
Do you think we’d be able to attract a decent enough standard, knowing that they’ll likely play second fiddle to Robertson and TAA?
Yeah, don't know what I was thinking there. Although, not much difference between the Dutch and Portuguese leagues imo
