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

So why was that dude complaining about his passing again? everything im seeing in these videos indicates he actually is a very good passer of the ball, and has good vision to boot.

 

His passing accuracy percentage is not quite world class, but I don't consider it something to worry about. Godin has a similar career percentage. Ramos had a similar percentage in his Sevilla days and has elevated it tremendously over the years. Van Dijk's early years at Southampton had a similar percentage.

In my opinion, the most important features at this early stage of his career are his positional awareness, his pace, his size/strength and by all accounts he's marvelous at defending. His whoscored rating is through the roof. Ramos himself hasn't had a season in his career at the rating Militao has albeit Eder is doing it in a lower league.

 

Best part is we won't be distracted with it this summer. We need to address midfield and attack, no excuses.

 

We already have projects in Rodrygo and Brahimi. We also still have Asensio.

Do we really need another project player he isn't exactly a world beating talent?

 

damn when you put in a pic like that, it looks pretty nice

 

******** out of here with Icardi (wearing our captains arm band? Ha)

He will never play for Madrid. Thank God.

The person who made that should be stripped and beaten in their town square.

 

Jovic scored a brilliant goal against Inter Milan last night.

 

I don't even get this Icardi nonsense.

The definition of 'delusional' is demanding the club sign a striker who has scored only 9 goals in Serie A and 4 in CL for €100M.... all while you bash Benzema who has scored 13 goals in La Liga and 4 in CL.

That's without mentioning Benzema has double his assists.


Logic and common sense is completely lost on this poor souls.

 

I'm no fan of an Icardi purchase either, particularly because of the off-the-field baggage he brings. However, let's not pretend these are normal numbers for him and thats the caliber of striker he is on the field. He scored 30 last year, 27 the year before that.

It's difficult to build up your stats when you're not even playing. The last time he played was over a month ago.

 

I prefer to gamble on Jovic.

 

The recent antics with Icardi and his wife have tainted any notion of him being a good fit. We don't need that circus.

 

Just read Jovic is in Barca's crosshairs and they visited him at the Eintracht grounds recently?

 

Jovic has been linked with them. I don't know how reliable is the source. I only know about our link to him through RMBS discussion and some unreliable source. If we do not make a move, he will join Barcelona.

 

Yup, the thought of Icardi just does not excite me, i’d pass on him

 

Isco has been used like duct tape in a toolbox, no real specific role but often useful. I felt his comments about JL were fair, the nonsense between Solari and Isco however was very unprofessional and I'm hoping he steps up or we move on. Isco has to want to keep progressing or its pointless.

 

I like him. I think he'd be a great CM.

 

He's definitely a good player and now that his value has dropped we could probably pick him up for something like 70-80M. However his behavior is something i never want to see at our club, i hate players like that. He was Inters captain and couldn't handle the negotiations without causing so much drama that they eventually dropped him. I even heard that he's faking an injury just to not play until he gets a new contract. WTF kind of captain is that? Let's not even start with the toxicity that his wife will inevitably bring...

Just think about it, the captain abandoned the ship.

 

ZZ will stay far away from the toxicity of Icardi and Wanda.

Given that Benz will be regular starter, wonder if he will be interested in a young prospect like Felix who can be in rotation now and takeover from Benz in couple of years. If club is following him, they will send scouting vids to ZZ as well. Provided we get him for 75-80 ME.

 

If we are keeping Benzema, which will probably happen due to Zizou liking him a lot, what do you guys think about getting Cavani? He's just turned 32 but i think he's still in good shape and could be very useful since he's totally different from Karim. I don't think PSG want him anymore but that's just an impression.

He's scored 17 goals in 1300 minutes in Ligue 1. It's a short term deal but unless we get a good young forward i wouldn't mind him as an option at all.

 

benz as a starting striker = zero titles

 

Cavani is a strong character and I don't think he'd be happy with not starting big games. He couldn't even accept leaving penalty duties for Neymar. He has been starting regularly for so many years so it will be hard for him to accept a rotation role. Especially when he's still good enough to start for clubs like Atletico.
