Pizy 19,249 Posted July 11, 2024 Share Posted July 11, 2024 Zirkzee looks like an excellent footballer but a mediocre striker/finisher. I predict he’ll be very underwhelming just like Hojlund was for them last season after all the hype. Both of them are decent but not top class. Their strikers don’t scare me at all. bigbluewillie and mkh 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just have to hope they are looking at least two additions that add real quality Lot of quality players in the market too - Olise, Nico, Olmo, Simons, Calafiori. Our wage structure means we are not in the mix for any of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The direction United are going has me convinced we will be well above them. Mainoo is a real find but their signings have been middling. De Ligt, Zirkzee and Ugarte - is not going to raise their level by a lot. De Ligt in particular I think will struggle in England. Pizy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They certainly are making sure not to repeat the same mistakes. I've never rated Sterling highly as some, but he has achieved 10 times what the others have on that list.

King Kante 1,643 Posted July 12, 2024 Share Posted July 12, 2024 On 11/07/2024 at 12:15, Pizy said: Think people are really underestimating the role Tosin and KDH will have. A lot of Chelsea fans seem to think they’ll be nothing but bench players. I think both are going to starters pretty much immediately. And I just have this feeling that both will be very good. I’m also VERY confident that Lavia & Nkunku in particular returning fit will have big seasons. Not really expecting anything from Fofana until I see him on the pitch. Just hoping for the best. I saw someone say either here on Twitter that the signings we’ve made like Tosin and KDH aren’t the type that will “take us to the next level” but they’ll raise our floor. I agree with that. We still need that killer finisher either in a forward or wide player and a top keeper to take us to the next level. Plenty of time left for the former but I think we’ll be waiting at least 6 months for the latter. How much have you genuinely seen of Tosin? I will admit, I have not seen much apart from about 5 games last season. However, from what I saw he definitely fit my Fulham mates description of 'a ball playing Disasi' in that his defending is underwhelming but he is good on the ball. Have you really seen enough to be confident that he is actually a good defender, let alone a very good one? As for KDH he is fine as a squad player. I don't expect him to be much more than CM4 if Enzo, Caciedo and Lavia can stay fit and he is perfectly capable of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had options of coming here for cash & Werner going other way or Bayern. Wasn’t other way around. Bayern move hasn’t worked but he isn’t the only player to hage not worked out at Bayern in this period. I think to write his signing off already is a bit odd. Will see how it goes but he is a better CB than majority of what we’ve got and that is 100% true. Again, if we got him under Tuchel that summer we wanted him, the opinions on here would of been the polar opposite. I mean people here getting hugely excited about mid level players like KDH & Tosin then questioning the likes of de Ligt…. it is absolutely mind blowing but only on here 😂 Edited July 12, 2024 by OneMoSalah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any time anyone here says anything positive you jump in and try to shoot it down. de Ligt has been bang average since he left Ajax. That’s just a fact. I don’t hear any Juve supporters saying they miss him at all and Bayern fans won’t either since they’re comfortably upgrading on him with Tah. If we were the ones trying to sign him now instead of United I’d be disappointed. I just don’t rate him as anything other than “okay.” Reddish-Blue and Vesper 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoroccanBlue 5,399 Posted July 12, 2024 Share Posted July 12, 2024 Juve had no issues taking a loss on him when selling him to Bayern, who are now going to take a loss on him as well. He's been plagued with injuries and moves like a fridge. He, Upamecano, and Kim were competing to be Eric Dier's CB partner FFS. Pace of the Premier League will eat him alive.
