Takefusa Tsubasa - The Official 久保 建英 Thread

Barca and PSG thought his contract with Tokyo was gonna end in December 2019. RM meanwhile knew he was gonna be a free agent in June and pounced. Hope he turns into a star for us.

 

He’s gonna be 99 rated on the next PES.

 

If i remember correctly Farca offered him 250K, while he wanted between 1 - 1.5M or some? They thought he would come their way just cuz he played for em, fools. Anyway very glad we got him and it seems he wants a future here too.

 

Well obviously Kubo can fix that, just like he fixed his own choice before.

 

He looks good, looking forward to seeing both him and Rodrygo getting chances with first team

 

Andrés Iniesta: "I know Kubo having played against him last season. He is a player with an impressive talent and a huge future. He is one of the most gifted young players on the world stage to make a place in a club big. pic.twitter.com/6DqXBw8Exf

It looked like Kubo was deployed as a CM?

 

Yeah he's not going to be great for you defensively. He needs to be in the final 3rd of the pitch.

 

Of course he won`t be great defensively. Neither was Iniesta. He needs properly structured midfield with CDM / CM to provide defensive foundation. Then he should thrive. Of course down the road assuming he develops nicely.

 

Interesting, is he considered so far as a possible CM as opposed to a winger/CAM? I'm not opposed to it but I don't think he's ever played CM in his career at pro or youth level as far as I know.

 

Modrić started as AM. I don`t see anything unusual in such situation. The contrary. Maturity shows your real position, not youth.

 

The only bright spot in a miserable team and preseason

 

Eh, Iniesta took a massive amount of defensive work until his legs were gone.

 

Sure. He was master tackler.

 

If this kid was playing in that Atleti team yesterday people on this forum would call him the second coming of Jesus.
He is as talented and polished as Josh Felix, he just needs the opportunity to show case it .

 

So... playing good defense is just being a tackler (lol)?

 

3 shots on target within 10 minutes of coming on the pitch vs Spurs. Even Hazard wasn't half as productive in 70+ minutes that he played

 

I know it sounds crazy, but I would keep him in the first team, and use him as a supersub in the last 30 min (and maybe one day make him a starter).

He's too good, imo, to rot with Castilla

He needs to do what MBappe did with Monaco. They tried to tell him he was too young, and he forced his way up because he was confident in his qualities despite his age.

But maybe he just shines because the old guard is utter crap.

 

This kid has talent, discipline, and composure.

Our most exciting signing this season

 

I feel bad for Kubo. He deserves to be in a better place than this chaos. It's not good for his development.
The coach himself seems to be clueless about developing young talent to be honest.

 

He will be under Raul at Castilla. He was playing in J league before this. Let him dominate Castilla like Vinicius and then go from there.

 

No man he isn’t a CM and I hope we don’t turn him into a CM. He needs a free rol on the right or play as a CAM. Those 2 positions suits him best, to be active and decisive in the final 3rd.
