NikkiCFC 8,324 Posted March 9, 2023 Share Posted March 9, 2023 (edited) Yeah, amazing player. Never puts less than 7/10 performance. And I mean, going by reports and from what I saw, like ever in career. And obviously his partner has to be traditional DM. Edited March 9, 2023 by NikkiCFC Fernando 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need to have a balance and priority is to get a DM. That being said, hey if we somehow pull Jude that will be amazing, but I will not be to bum about this if we get a good DM to partner Enzo. My ideal a long time ago was Enzo and Caicedo. We got Enzo, so I wonder if we are still going for Caicedo..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magic Lamps 11,692 Posted March 10, 2023 Share Posted March 10, 2023 (edited) From the hype boys, Kone would be the best fit before lavia or Caicedo Seen rumours about soon to be free agent Dahoud. He is average, stay clear. but I can totally see Enzo work with Kante or Zakaria. We should wait how that turns out before making a decision. Edited March 11, 2023 by Magic Lamps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DH1988 1,348 Posted March 10, 2023 Share Posted March 10, 2023 I’d prefer to see Zakaria in tomorrow especially as we are probably looking at Ruben at RB. Enzo just looks to fit Kante so well, I hope we see N’Golo at even 80% of what he was with the small give and go passes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Lavia likes our project more he can always reject even if City have an agreement with Southampton. Also I heard the new 5 year FFP contract is only starts taking effect from July so we might do our business early if so.

If City want to re-sign him, I'm sure it will get done rather quickly. Also, I read something about a set fee should Southampton get relegated.

I mean for the £40-50m which he is apparently going to cost if Southampton stay up? I get that against us he looked decent but who didn’t for Southampton that day. I know there was a bid for him in the summer too after Southampton signed him (which I didn’t understand considering they got him for £14m at the beginning of the window - why did we not just go for him then?). Not seen a huge amount of him but I am a bit dubious, was even dubious after the 35m bid (IIRC was that or 40) in the summer. Also would be surprised if City go for him considering they have Rodri and Kalvin Phillips who are more defensively minded. I would much rather we went for Declan Rice or even Bruno Guimaraes out of the names I’ve seen that we’ve been linked to for MF players recently. Players with a bit more experience and who are proven but still young enough and can still improve to be a long term part of the team. Rice in particular is at a point where he’s pretty decent in a lot of facets of his game and I think he could progress a level or two here. Granted his performances for West Ham have been mixed and he has still got issues to iron out in his game but I think he’s ready to play here or at a United or at a City or at a Liverpool etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fernando 6,585 Posted March 11, 2023 Share Posted March 11, 2023 Dang this guy is insane. We miss creativity in the mid.Jorginho never cut it. The best was fabregas in that role, But Enzo is a mix because he can tackle. Maybe he is more in the verrati type of mould. bigbluewillie and laura90 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Costa19 858 Posted March 11, 2023 Share Posted March 11, 2023 Elite elite player! What an absolute bulldozer and playmaker at the same time. Love him!  My only concern is that we should not run him down. The kid has played every game for Benfica + WC + all games since he signed.  But how do we manage without him?! Simon1991 and bigbluewillie 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the same time he gives the impression his game is not as intense as Kante or other mfer's. Medical team also closely look at physical data for decision making now; so i want to assume he'll get a rest if he needs one, or at least have his load properly managed during training. Edited March 11, 2023 by Simon1991 Fernando and Costa19 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We would still need a striker but Enzo might be the key to better break down buses. He is better than Jorginho in most things  but his two assists for us so far Display the most important one. Defence splitting passing. Creativity to create goalscoring chances from deep. Fernando 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
