Hit and miss with his saves, rarely ever saves penalty, uncomfortable on the ball, average decision making, not very consistent in general. What really is he good at? I think he's excellent at claiming crosses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He doesn't bend that well and his reaction is not elite which makes him very vulnerable to low shots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the "bottom half", he is a big-nosed Hilario impersonator. Vesper 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vesper 30,169 Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 The main thing I hate about this whole Big Nose shite is the £50m or so in valuation we lost. We should have sold him in summer 2017 and got around £80m for him. We all knew he wasn't going to renew. I bet we could have done a straight swap with Atletico back then for Oblak. I still am happy as hell we got Kepa, but we pissed away around £70m (between less on sale and overpay on GK) or so by not being proactive. We could have had Alisson in 2017 for far less than Victimpool paid in 2018, and I wager Bilbao would have taken far less for Kepa then too (not sure on that tbh). Might have gazumped Shitty on Ederson too. Unionjack 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are both LWers, as is Asensio. Bale is the only legit true class RWer (sorry Lucas Vázquez, but you are not remotely WC) they have, and no way Hazard goes and plays at RW every start.

That's what I really don't get. I don't understand WTF they want Eden. They've got Asensio who I really like, They've got Isco who you know i like (but not getting hardly any playing time and must be now 3rd choice LW) and this amazing 18 year old kid. Tell me why would they not just keep it like it is and sell Isco? Start Asensio with Junior pushing him, gradually stepping up to take over??? Like we should be doing with CHO but who isnt capable of waiting that long. Just seems like common sense to me. I'd take Junior as part of the deal tomorrow.

Is it purely because of his name and that hes an attraction to sell shirts? Or just because they can?? Its not because they need him.
