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.

Also pointless discussion because my point was we should've got him last year instead of Fofana not this year. So we should of bought a left sided CB instead of a right sided CB? 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 Quote 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.

Special Juan 28,187 Posted August 2, 2023 Share Posted August 2, 2023 Looks like the fee between us Lukaku/Vlahovic is reducing and it’s down to Poch to make the final call Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robsblubot 3,595 Posted August 2, 2023 Share Posted August 2, 2023 Feel dirty getting any money and/or player for Lukaku. 😅 Like you know the car your are selling has a dodgy motor, but you take the money anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

calculatingInfinity 1,477 Posted August 2, 2023 Share Posted August 2, 2023 Getting a striker to recover from Allegri football is not easy, it's a process that takes years, maybe their whole life. May Allah be kind on his soul, cause he isn't even that good a striker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gundalf 806 Posted August 2, 2023 Share Posted August 2, 2023 In my opinion there are 3 red flags for Vlahovic: 1.) Actually he doesnt really want to join us, he prefers to stay ar Juve. So the only reason why he would come is bc he got forced to. Motivation wont be too high. I thought we are at a point where we dont accept this kind of mindset anymore, that we want players that really wanna be here. 2.) He is very injury prone. And not bc he got unlucky, but reports suggest that his body has a permanent weakness in a certain part of his body that u cant really improve. The PL is more intense, more athletic with stronger defenders, so u can expect that this problem will be even more relevant here 3.) He is valued at 70-80 millions, which is extremely high if u consider the last 2 years This transfer has some Roman/Marina disasterclass written all over it, I thought we are over this kind of transfers tbh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
