slabhead was NEVER a great defender

he has a nose for goals off free and corner kicks, that is it

he is slow AF, and gets caught ball watching

Every defender gets caught ball watching, saying that is just common knowledge, fact still remains man utd ruined him.

Is there many people still believe rudiger actually a great defender? I'm not really certain actually

Even with tuchel he ONLY play very well when he stick with 3 cb.

How many times rudiger play in 4  at the back, and rudidger just become atrocious defender, almost as shaky as koulibally

Without so much protection, and beside very composed defender ala thiago silva in 3 atb system, he isn't that reliable actually.

What he did mange to do, whether fake or real, was leadership, focus and passion. He allied these traits with at the very least competence. In a season during which Challo has sometimes been exposed, and we have even had to play Cucu at CB, I would definitely take Rudi on loan to bolster our squad.

It really isn't. But let's agree to disagree

Newcastle interested in McTominay, watch us keep RLC.

Individually RLC>McTominay

Both have developed 0 and are still the player they were 5 years ago but RLC at least has skill and flair. McTominay is just a bore of a DM. Granted, for a team in dire need of a DM, McTominay is more inciting. RLC could wish for Mctominay's durability and tenacity but put RLC. Put Mctominay in a lower-midtable team and he will not stand out.

Rice  is a far better player than he's given credit for on this forum.

Take him in a heartbeat. Sort of player any top side needs

I'd sure take Rice but not for 100m.

Good player but he's not the player you build your team around, that's someone like Enzo.   Arsenal would suit him as they are looking to top-up their settled midfield....unlike us where we are in midfield rebuild mode. 

Depends upon the system being played, he'd be a good addition but Declan Rice alone wouldn't fix our midfield issues.   

He is a great player, definite upgrade on Jorginho.But more importantly he is a natural leader, something this team lacks. 

Rice - Enzo would be one of the best double pivots on the planet. But not convinced we will shed 250m on that notion.

As I delineated a few pages back. Enzo without a true creator like Messi in front of him and a shield like de Paul in his back is not effective at transforming a team on his own either. But give him Declan and Felix and he will probably look just as good as for Argentina.

More footage I watch of Caicedo the more I’m coming around on him. Got a bit more about him on the ball than I thought he did.

Mac Allister too

their MF was just crazy better than anyone else

De Paul has been so underrated his entire career, I was glad to see him get a huge trophy

the only players on France I feel sorry for were

 
Aurelien Tchouameni  
Olivier Giroud    
Antoine Griezmann   (unbelievable change of role, was probably the 3rd best player at the WC, after Messi and Mbappe, Gvardiol 4th, and Sofyan Amrabat 5th, Enzo 6th)
Kylian Mbappe 

Argentina gets extra points for winning the world cup with Otamendi as a potential nightmare CB every game, lolol

minus points for Emi Martinez being a FUCKING CUNT from hell

the using the Golden Glove trophy like a dildo, the horrible, classless taunting of Mbappe, and being the main leader of the 'Fuck England' bullshit

so was hoping Messi would shut him down, smdh

[Mário César 1,232]

I would sell Mount in the summer, tbh.

Argentina winning Brazil away in Copa America final is more impressive than what they did at WC. Enzo wasn't even part of that team. 

On WC they basically draw with average Holland team and also draw with France without possibly 5,6 starters out. Lucas, Kimpembe, Kante, Pogba, Nkunku and Benzema. Considing 5 goals in those 2 games. Martinez saved in last minute of OT a loss and also he did the same against Australia in last 16 game and prevented another overtime. They lost against Saudi Arabia and beat horrid Poland and Mexico. Semis against Croatia was their best game. 

So Enzo or no Enzo, question is, is he really that important for them?

Mate, I'm telling you... I know a midfielder when I see one... Caicedo and Mac Alister are class acts.

i would not give up havertz yet.

let give him comptetent attacking teammates first. he barely had those here

If he needs competent attacking team mates to resemble a half decent footballer then ultimately he cannot be a half decent footballer. He has been abysmal this season. Atrocious.

[MoroccanBlue 5,375]

Done with that argument. Heard it so many times. 

Does Lionel Messi prevent Havertz from dribbling out of the pitch on his own like we saw against Fulham? Does prime Ronaldo prevent Havertz from fluffing that early chance he got after a brilliant piece of skill from Felix against Fulham?

Move on. Give me Mudryk, Felix, and Nkunku.

I wouldn't too, but the problem with him is that even if you ignore his output, he seems to have lost a lot of his vision and technique on ball since Bayer/starting here and that's worrying

Move on. 

Playing out of position doesn't help, and having turds round you has an effect, having class around players makes them play better.
