Rumoured Ezequiel Lavezzi

[Barbara 15,149]

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

[OneMoSalah 8,883]

Sure lets buy another left winger to play on our right wing.... when will we ever fucking learn

[The Chels 2,502]

PSG fans moan about him like we moan about Willian. Absolutely not the answer.

Available for 8m apparently and Liverpool is interested. Seems OK price for a bench player for me.

[DH1988 1,346]

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.

Liverpool are interested? In that case we should dodge the bullet.

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

Absolutely. 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.

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

It's better than Willian/schurlle at least. 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.

Still, no thanks. 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.

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).
