Barbara 15,149 Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 No, thank you. Next please Also the same people asking for him now and defending him will be saying shot about him 3 seconds after he's here. He's not the answer at all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrBlueGuy 1,552 Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 Available for 8m apparently and Liverpool is interested. Seems OK price for a bench player for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DH1988 1,348 Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 We have OK bench players at the moment, we need a step up from 'OK' - Lavezzi is probably one of the most frustrating players to watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueLion. 21,491 Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 Lavezzi is quality and will tear shit up in the Premier League. Just watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kellzfresh 7,229 Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 Lavezzi is quality and will tear shit up in the Premier League. Just watch. His decision making is terrible, but he's a damn good dribbler. Sanchez level dribbling imo, and would create havoc in defenses Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imagine him playing in a side that operates on the counter-attack, relying on their wingers' high work rate and defensive cover?Oh I'm talking about us now, woops.

LAB 1,030 Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 What's the point of being good at dribbling if your decision making (and even the final ball) is terrible?I guess you can only go the ultra selfish way of just making dribbles and eventually shoot. Or maybe this won't work because it's also considered a decision that has to be made Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our counterattacks will be far better because he won't pass back to ivanovic when he has only one marker to dribble and slow down our play. Robben used to have very poor decision making shooting every time even worse than schurlle and was criticized for it but he was still better than our right wing options because he can dribble like hazard. I'm not saying he is messi but for the price of 10 mil according to rumors he is worth a look. I have missed us having jcole and robben on both flanks with pure pace and real ability to dribble like hazard and I want that back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It smacks of nothing more than short term signing/stop gap measure. Lavezzi is erratic and has hardly been consistent. He's already 30 years old this year. If he's not playing at his best right now, he definitely won't be doing that in the next few years. It won't take long before people put him in the Schurrle/Willian/Salah bracket if he comes here. Besides, you talk about counter-attacks every time but we don't play that way in every game, do we? Would he really be useful when we face packed defences? I doubt it.

I doubt it.whats the problem with a short term/stop gap signing. we have hazard-oscar-willian-cesc as the long term (atleast foreseeable future) players. if we indeed get an offer for schurrle (30mil euros) then an 8mil deal for lavezzi who is not only better than schurrle but even better than our current first team starter in willian, then i seriously dont see a problem.(all this is only after we have gone all in for reus and cant get him).

Lavezzi would be a cracking option for a couple of years/or if we eventually sign Reus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ILoveLamp 270 Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 Over-rated player. Inconsistent, and NOT an upgrade on Willian or Schurrle in my opinion.No thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not in my books.Lavezzi is a good option, probably the best available to us right now after reus. And his price tag is in single digit which is pretty good deal. In my opinion, he is a better option than either of willian and schurrle. He is a work horse so fits rigjt in with jose's philosophy and definitelt more direct and a better dribbler than willian.
