Out With The Old & In With 7he New - Transfers, Rumors, & Lies Thread

Yup. Rui Costa was just as good as Figo on his day, such a decisive player.

 

Seriously? This kid looks insanely talented amd confident.

I just wany him to develop into a more lethal Benzema. Vinicius can develop into a more flairful Cristiano. Rodrygo can develop into a more explosive and creative Bale (or babyNeymar).

Then we got BBC again... or at least RFV

 

I really, really liked Rui Costa as well. A superb player in all respect and a joy to watch (super fluid in terms of his technique). To be honest, he's a rare talent in terms of natural ability. I'd still rate Figo higher though. Figo was simply too much for almost a decade, one of the best wingers of all time IMO.

Having said the above, I do get where you're coming from!

 

Figo, Rui Costa, Cristiano?

That's nice and all. But is the kid ugly? That's the priority around here.

 

Yep that was the golden generation !

 

Yeah, won’t get into the Rui/ Figo thing but not sure how anyone can put Rui Costa and Pauletta in the same bracket, Rui was far better at what he did, loved to watch him play

Pauleta was underrated though. He was a very good striker for Portugal. And yea, Rui in between Figo and Pauleta.

 

I didn't watch the game, but i think i saw Militao playing as a RB? Why is that?

 

Porto signed Pepe in January so shifted Militao to RB to accommodate him. CB is his best position though. I saw him at RB vs Sporting recently. Very solid defensively, but doesn't have the offensive game to play RB.

 

Pauleta was frustrating to watch for Portugal. Flat track bully for the NT side. Rarely if ever scored in a big match or tough competition. Most supporters preferred Nuno Gomes when the going got tough.

 

He had also been playing RB in Brazil from a Youtube clip I saw. Suppose he has the pace for it as well.

 

Yea, he played RB with Sao Paulo and there's a whole compilation of it. I wasn't impressed though. Only thing he had was pace when there was space, but no take on abilities or good crossing. His best offensive attribute is his ability to score in the air.

 

Sancho and De Ligt, all i'm asking for. Vinicius, Rodrygo, Sancho can fight it out who plays.

 

I watched te game vs Roma. That was how I saw him too. I did not see him the air.

Meanwhile, I like Roma's right winger Nicolo Zaniolo. I never heard of him before the game. I was impressed with him before his two goals. Anyway, from Youtube, he is probably not a natural right winger.

 

To be honest, i don't want anyone messing up with Vinicius's progress right now. The only thing i would sign is a veteran winger to cover for him and give him rest at times.

 

The veteran cannot be Hazard anymore. Hazard will take away VJ's minutes, and both of them needs to start most games. It is hard to find someone who is willing to sit on the bench while being in our standard.

 

Militao for Ramos long term replacement would be fine. Vinicius needs only a back up but we can see how it pans out this season

 

I'd always sign Neymar, but for me more and more Hazard is becoming less and option.

I like the player individually, but the warning signs are there. He never plays on the right and he is too stubborn to change or adapt his game to one where he quickly releases balls instead of holding on to them forver like Isco.

The closer we get to summer the more cloudy things get in terms of transfer policy.

One thing is certain; we must get Eriksen.

 

Snake comments incoming.🐍

Thibaut Courtois to @vtmnieuws: “It would be nice (that Eden Hazard would join Real), but I can’t say too much about it. That’s something he has to decide himself. And Real - I don’t know if they want him. Eden is a top player and my friend.” #cfc pic.twitter.com/Tz8lauIEjb

Maybe we have lost interest or said we will see end of the season. I don't think Vinicius will get benched for Hazard anyway.

 

Heung min son from spurs. Great player. I’d say he’s better than hazard and Neymar at the moment and is more consistent than both and less injury prone. He can play left wing or as a striker. He wouldn’t cost as much either because Tottenham have no money. I hope him being South Korean doesn’t put Perez off.

 

Well, he has a contract until 2023. Spurs don't have money to sign, but they don't sell their best players easily either. Levy will ask for an insane sum. And why would Flo be put off by his nationality? Asia is a massive market and South Korea has so many mega companies. Son as a star at a super club will bring in sponsorships. But I don't see Levy selling for less than Coutinho fee.

 

Actually, Rodrygo also plays on the left, right? We might not need an extra left winger.
