He's one of those highly effective but really unspectacular players. Not flashy, doesn't wow you, but has great technique and can pop up with goals. If we weren't signing Havertz I think he'd be solid backup option. Blue Colored Sky and DDA 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is good but he is one of those players I don't think will succeed in PL. Reminds me of Davy Klaasen. Was brilliant in Eredivisie but just couldn't keep up with pace of PL.

Hes probably half the player Thomas Muller is and even then Muller divides opinions due to his rounded ability and particular playing style. Knew he wouldn’t end up signing for a Real Madrid or a Barcelona or a Juventus. He might get a move but I dont think he's gonna excel particularly. If he surprises me fair enough but I dont see it.

This isnt how football works lady. Looks like every talent other teams have looks cooler than those we already have, no? Zaniolo is all hype and Szoboszlai isnt ready for big club either. Leipzig or Leverkusen are his level right now. If there was no Kai, only options should be to get Sancho or send Ziyech in middle with Odoi on right and sign some cheap proven competition for RW.

He has a penchant for going after older players I find this to be a trait with Italian managers in general. It seems to me that they really value experience.

BlueLyon 9,359 Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 WAT Deulofeu Sarr Kabasele Doucoure Hughes Foster BOU Wilson King Fraser Lerma Billing Brooks NOR Cantwell Buendia Lewis Godfrey Aarons PL returns in 2 weeks and neither of these has been picked yet by any PL club. Window ends on October 5th right? And then the domestic one until 16th. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am talking about a longer term blue print. Also, obviously, at that point, Sancho is instantly in the mix next summer. I was only speaking to AMF's, and yes, I do agree than perhaps Ziyech could be shifted more central, and thus you would indeed open up the RW slot for Sancho.

Styl1994 188 Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 If we could sign one of Donnarumma or Rice after Havertz who would you go for? for me Donnarumma 100% we need a new number one goalkeeper badly and I am fine with giving Ampadu a chance in the Rice role if it means getting a elite goalkeeper.

Magic Lamps 11,692 Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 Honestly if we don’t get Havertz I, we should not sign another midfielder at all. First choice or nothing. We are in for Havertz bc we believe he is a generational talent and not bc we think we desperately need a player like him. We could easily roll with a Kovacic Mount Kante midfield. I could also see ziyech as more of a no. 10. Then we have tons of mids Like anjorin coming to through development side. that being said I still think havertz deal will be done Strike, killer1257 and Simon1991 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are so overrating our boys... and they obviously have not watched much Zaniolo, as he si far from 'all hype' (provided he fully recovers from his knee injury, which it so far looks like he will) He is 1.9m tall, very strong, and had pace to burn pre injury. 14 goals and 6 assists as a 19 and 20 year old 4 goals and 1 assist in the CL and EL Roma just instantly turned down 50m euros for him from Spuds Nicolo Zaniolo is ‘part-Gerrard’ in style and Roma hope he can be Totti’s heir https://theathletic.com/1854044/2020/06/05/horncastle-zaniolo-roma-italy-serie-a/ NikkiCFC 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
