NICOLAS OTAMENDI JOINS BENFICA

After back to back titles City spent more money than us. From the beginning of summer 2019 transfer window.

Laporte-Dias starters. Ake and Stones backups. And now hearing they want Alaba or Tagliafico. I think Cancelo will take Walker place soon considering Walker is regressing.

Cancelo should excel under Pop, it is why I listed him as puzzling ina post ripping the Shitty defensive players pre buys

fullback is the position I am, for whatever reason, the best at predicting how players rate out

I was on the Davies bandwagon since I saw his first games at LB for Bayern

and tonight, when people where slating Reguillon, I warned that thsi was silly

and he lit us up on that goal

the lad is talented

 

it figures, out of all, the one fullback I cannot truly get my head around, is Reece, lol

but I have a shedload of patience with him, as his upside is insane

now that Kimmich has basically moved to DMF

the only WC RB on the planet is TAA

its a horridly weak position atm

Reece could easily become the 2nd best on the planet if he develops the right mindset

he coasts too damn much

the only other ones atm who remotely interest me in terms of doable buys are

no real order

Nordi Mukiele   
Takehiro Tomiyasu   <<< 1.88m big, pacey Japanese 21yo on Bologna
Mert Müldür   <<<< 1.84m Turkish player, 21yo, on Sassuolo
Sergiño Dest  
Youcef Atal
Emerson (on loan from Barca at Real Betis)

another hat trick for Calvert-Lewin

I said last season he was going to explode

He has a strong supporting cast this season.

Declan Rice played as a CB and got destroyed, so it seems to me. This is probably the reason why he plays DM.

His pace is pretty bad for a CB that wants to play high line. Either he sorts out his positioning, or he plays DM. Looked also bad in the second goal

assuming Rice is a no go at CB

then

Milan Skriniar   <<< I think people are far too harsh on him, all because Conte insists on a back 3, if this was a year ago, he was on everyone's top 10 list for CB, he is still my 4th option

Theo Hernández (conversion from LB, like his smaller brother) <<< my number 2 option, and also would be a superb LB option when Chilwell cannot go

 

 

other big names, but with  major issues

Matthijs de Ligt  Juve will not sell
Kalidou Koulibaly   too old for the price
David Alaba  will not come here, wages are also too high, and I am not sold on him as a CB in the EPL
Stefan de Vrij   next summer will be too old for the money demanded 
Marquinhos  PSG will not sell   
Alessandro Bastoni  Inter will not sell 
Lucas Hernández  overrated IMHO  at CB

then the rest

Ibrahima Konaté   
Evan N'Dicka   
Edmond Tapsoba   
Jules Koundé    
Pau Torres    
Nico Elvedi    
Nikola Milenkovic   
Presnel Kimpembe    
Merih Demiral   
Felipe (Swap Kante for him and Thomas Partey) 
Duje Caleta-Car    
Luiz Felipe     
Benoît Badiashile    
Manuel Akanji    
Axel Disasi   
Zinho Vanheusden   
Mohamed Simakan    
Mohammed Salisu    
Ferro   
Ronald Araújo   
Wesley Fofana << on verge of Leicester move
Bafodé Diakité    
Jhon Lucumí 
Eduardo Quaresma  
David Carmo
Jean Marcelin  
Perr Schuurs    
Josko Gvardiol  
Robson Bambu    
Sven Botman    
Chidozie Awaziem 
Odilon Kossounou  
Oumar Solet    
Tiago Djaló
