Check out his statistics on areal duels and his vertical. He's pretty good.
I rate Jimenez a lot. He was the only thing standing between us and a 5-0 victory in the 2nd leg. But his release clause is bonkers.
He and James both offer something different in that role. One very attacking and direct, the other defensively strong.
CHO against bottom half clubs.
James against top half.
So keeping clean sheets against two potentially relegated premier league clubs and Championship club Barnsley enough to completely disregard the fact Kepa is a horrid shot stopper and poor at commanding his box?
If we are to persist with this formation an elite CB and CM are still needed along with a ST.
We all trusting Kepa to take over Mendy whilst he's in AFCON?
Sit back and counter here. This is what I would do.
Save Pulisic, Kovacic, Dave, and Mount for City.
Mendy
Christensen---Silva----Rudiger
James----Kante----Jorginho----Chilwell
Ziyech------------Havertz
Werner
Giroud I'm not so certain is leaving, and COVID still has played an incredible impact on most clubs in Europe. There is no way we sell either Pulisic or Ziyech for more than what we initially bought them for.
It would be so Palace to give us a headache when their season is already over and they are safe from relegation. Especially after allowing Spurs to bend them over just recently.
In this market, Tammy is easily a 40million signing. Easily.
HG, young and a proven goal scorer. Someone mentioned it elsewhere, but he is a player that will genuinely get better with time.
