The rest is just a result of his personality or the lack thereof. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cosmicway 1,333 Posted February 16, 2023 Share Posted February 16, 2023 I saw Gabi in a Flamengo match and I was impressed. I know he played for Inter and Benfica before but what do you think ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nkunku Mudryk Felix Mudueke Enzo Bellingham So far it's looking to me like Noni will be an exciting backup here, rather than a starter. Not enough variety in his M.O. to consistently hurt defences familiar with what he wants to do. I like him a lot (on the right) but when FFP permits, I can see the manager wanting an alternative.

I think this game proves that if we are going with this formation in the future we definitely need DM next to Enzo. He looks good going up and we need to provide him that which I cannot see possible with Jude. MoroccanBlue and kexik 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think most of us can't rationalise the football justification, or the cost, of Neymar in our squad, but we probably don't need to concern ourselves with the money. Boehly and co are world class manipulators of cash. If Neymar is signed, the finances will be worked out along with a plan for handling the fiscal impact should the move be unsuccessful on the pitch. Can Mudryck play right wing as effectively as he does left? The other two agenda items seem appropriate.

robsblubot 3,595 Posted February 16, 2023 Share Posted February 16, 2023 (edited) yup you see how much success PSG has had over the years... but don't let facts ruin the fun of blissful imagination. 😃 Seen what PSG has been doing done 10 times before and it failed 10 times: too many maestros and not enough players.

Fernando 6,585 Posted February 16, 2023 Share Posted February 16, 2023 I don't want Neymar, what a waste. We should let PSG get Lukaku. Lukaku over there might kill it. As well give them other dude, I much rather we spend money on DM. We need someone like Caicedo, Rice type of player. Don't know if we can get someone like them for less money it would be amazing. And a goalkeeper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post! Vegetable 830 Posted February 16, 2023 Popular Post! Share Posted February 16, 2023 Honestly, the thing that, in my mind and morality, set us apart from Real or PSG during Roman era was not getting the showoff players with bad boy, clown-ish starlet mentality. And I would very much prefer us to stay this way. robsblubot, guddy69, Strike and 2 others 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stats 7,147 Posted February 17, 2023 Share Posted February 17, 2023 On 15/02/2023 at 16:27, Pizy said: Bellingham would be a pretty odd fit IF we decide to buy Felix permanently. Which I of course hope we do. We saw Felix occupy that area behind the striker against WH and he was brilliant there. Bellingham likes to get forward and get into those areas frequently as well so I’m not sure it’s wise to pair Enzo with a player like that. We’d be best served signing Rice/Caicedo/Koné. I’d obviously never say no to Bellingham but I’m not sure how having just Enzo as the primary shield for the defense would look. Agreed. I get Boehly is the owner but little concerned when we buy players with little input from the manager. Because buying all these big names is all good but if there is no ideal philosophy in fitting them in, then just defeats the object. Bellingham and Enzo will be good in games where we want to dominate the ball but then there will be games as seen several times this season, where we got overrun on the counter attack and there are so many gaps.

Vegetable 830 Posted February 17, 2023 Share Posted February 17, 2023 https://sportwitness.co.uk/Chelsea-man-no-longer-irreplaceable-poor-form-club-already-looking-alternatives/ Inter seems to be leaning towards getting rid of Lukaku, unless they will shaft us on cash completely.

Pizy 18,928 Posted February 17, 2023 Share Posted February 17, 2023 For the life of me, I don’t understand these new Neymar links at all whatsoever. Feels like a totally fabricated story that came simply as a result of Boehly being seen with the PSG president. What possible use would we have for 30+ year old Neymar when we just bought a bunch of wide attacking players over the last 2 windows? He’s the antithesis of the profile we’ve been targeting. Even if he terminated his contract I’m not sure we’d be interested in a free due to his obscene wages. Fernando and Stats 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
