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? OneMoSalah and YorkshireBlue 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also pointless discussion because my point was we should've got him last year instead of Fofana not this year.

Cheap, obviously limited, bought when Kepa was absolutely horrendous, saved our ass on many levels, went beast mode beyond any expectations, not good when no one was good, finally essentially pushed off the stairs by club and Potter for whatever reason. The sole difference to entire team he made after arrival makes him one of better buys in my eyes. And Zakaria, well, another Saul story was to be expected but actually did decent, when played, that wasn't often. robsblubot, didi007, Mhsc and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's on the ball where he's weak to non existent. Actually, he’s a pretty neat and tidy footballer. Good first touch, looks good receiving the ball under pressure, can dribble a bit. Doesn’t appear to offer much in terms of forward passing, though. Those traits sound an awful lot like Kova. He’s basically a knock off version of Kova.

Timo, as limited as he was, was important in acquiring the biggest silverware in club football. Honestly, I think sometimes we make things more complicated than they need to be.

And it really isn't the biggest mystery in football at all? You block the ball or tackle with your strongest leg normally, stick a left footed CB on the right and watch how many penalties and free kicks he gives away.

Gundalf 806 Posted August 2, 2023 Share Posted August 2, 2023 Gvardiol is a great defender, but not Maldini himself. Colwill and Badiashile have the potential to be as good as him. Not crying for missing out tbh. We are sorted. mkh 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gvardiol or Levi out of position better than that money wasted on Fofana and I highly doubt they would be as bad as between a goalkeeper and a attacking midfield like that poster claimed. Also it's funny how you are so obsessed with all my posts, yesterday you claimed we should play Jackson as a AM and let Vlahovic up top if needed but for some reason a CB can't do it because it's not his dominant leg.

Playing behind a striker is called a centre forward not an attacking midfielder. Clearly you have never played football before, because you haven't a clue about trying to lead with your weak leg in tackles or blocking, it's like putting ziyech on the right wing and asking him to cross with only his right foot, see how many actually hit the box.

Yet the likes of Azpi could put a shift as a left back albeit he wasn't as good long term. Maldini also an example. I didn't even say I wanted Gvardiol this season because luckily things panned out okay for us but let's not pretend that was the plan all along, if it wasn't for the fans getting angry Levi would've been sold last season to Brighton. Having the Gvardiol/Levi headache right now instead of 70 millions in hospital would be tons better right now no matter how you spin it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
