No worries got Fofana instead of him. The one who took the shots last summer should be in prison.

fofana probably will be sold next year 

[Pizy 18,368]

Tyler Adams doesn’t even look like a DM to my eye, btw. He looks more like a Kova type midfielder aka a #8.

Playing him beside Enzo in a 2 would be terrible.

why another midfieder? jesus christ

what is the point??

Fofana and Gvardiol are not connected. We bought Badiashile instead of him.

[Pizy 18,368]

You guys really need to get over Gvardiol AND Fofana. We’re just about to replace him in the long term with Disasi. Fofana has nothing to do with Gvardiol anyways because they play on opposite sides. Yes, the massive transfer fee will hurt us but it’s not like that signing has prevented us from signing someone else.

We now have Colwill on our books for £0 and Badiashile for £32m. Those are who you should compare to Gvardiol. Is he worth more than double what Colwill and Badiashile are combined? No, and I love Gvardiol.

Well we appointed some of RB Leipzigs footballing people so this was bound to happen eventually - links to a poor player who they know well and know is available due a relegation despite the fact he wasn’t particularly good at either Leeds or Leipzig.

Avoid. 

Pretty sure he just ran about for 90 minutes kicking people under Jesse Marsch at both clubs.

 

People complaining about not signing Gvardiol because of Fofana really are clueless too. Like properly. Fofana played RCB in a 3 under Tuchel, Koulibaly played LCB in our 3 under Tuchel 🤷‍♂️

And even then, going for him this summer would only of made sense if we were not keeping Levi as we already signed Badiashile.

Some of you need to open your eyes a bit and watch football to see what their strongest foot is, be mindnumbingly retarded and pointless having Badiashile, Colwill and Gvardiol here at once who are all young, left footed centre backs, who prefer playing on that left hand side when we play a back 4 with Poch, no? Be like having 8 left wingers but no right wingers. Or 6 GKs. Just daft as fuck.

They play on different sides of the CB, Fofana and Gvardiol impact each other as about as much as Bettinelli and Nkunku do.

Now let's assume he was up for joining us over City (highly unlikely) if we decided against it it would have been because of Colwill and/or Badiashille, not Fofana.

But that doesn't get your much needed sensational headline, does it?

But as the first choice DM and the main player preventing teams from blitzing through the middle of the pitch? HELL no!

From what I'm reading that's exactly what he'd do from a defensive standpoint.

It's on the ball where he's weak to non existent.

The idea a CB can't adapt in both CB slots is the biggest mystery in football. Also pointless discussion because my point was we should've got him last year instead of Fofana not this year.

Call me sentimental but I don’t think Timo was a shit buy, just not the big time goal scorer we thought we were getting. We fell off the day he left.
