This will get me killed here but right now Palmer isn’t one third the player Ferran is and we don’t know if he will ever be

Well future history will decide that.

He is 21 years old and a regular starter as a striker for one of the best national teams in the world. To me that makes him one of the most exiting young players in Europe. Feel free to disagree

Eric Garcia starts for Spain

I said it jokingly about Kane, but I have a feeling it will happen. From Tottenham sources they are all in on Vlahovic and a right wing back. Conte again has asked for Vlahovic.

Now if you are Tottenham and City come back with the same money offered in the summer and you can use that money to get Conte's preferred choice, you are going to take it especially with Kanes form right now.

Conte wants Vlahovic to play with Kane. Kane is happy at Tottenham per Romano yesterday. He’s not leaving. They would never weaken for Conte. Let it go

Before I even get into whether I disagree or not are you therefore claiming Eric Garcia is one of the most exciting young players in Europe too?

Every season the team gets older and we let the young future leave

Yawn.

The exception proves the rule

Sounds like you've really got the hang of the BM prophecy role.

If we don't do business in January. That is alot of business to do in the summer

Aguero replacement
Torres replacement
Fernandinho replacement

3 positions.

 

[Vester]

No that would be someone like Haaland, Vlahovic, Bellingham or Foden......lol

Unless you want to try and convince me Torres is at the level of them.

Torres has a better goal/min ratio than Vlahovic if you exclude penalties during the last 18 months. I think Vlahovic is slightly better, but its not a huge difference imo. Torres is obviously not comparible to Haaland, but neither is Vlahovic

 

[mcfcstu]

I hope @tolmie's hairdoo is right and the wheels are in motion for Vlahovic.

Torres out and him in would be a decent trade off in Jan.

Don't hold your breath there.

Shame for him to go, but at least we're going to get a decent amount of money for him.

Okey. How about that he has a better goal/min ratio than Vlahovic the last 18 months if you exclude penalties?

Ridiculous comparison. Fiorentina have finished in the top half of Serie A once in the last 3 seasons whereas we average 2.5 goals a game in the same period.

 

[Cobwebcat]

The timing makes no sense. If his replacement isn’t available until the Summer then tell Barca to wait until then.

 

[Coatigan]

You don't think Kane is better than Torres?

That was not the queation, but no, I do not. Was, maybe. Right now if I had to choose one to bring on or start in our team, Inwould honestly choose Torres, in any given one off game. Add to that his longer term potential, and the fact that Kane is an extra 100m, and on much higher wages, no I don't think replacing torres with Kane would be an improvement at all.

Penalties don't count either sadly, I wonder why thats why our lads miss so many?

 

[Dadsupportedthem]

Mind-blowing revelation!

That why I said last 18 monts, not the last 3 seasons. He is also the focus point of their attack and are playing in a worse league. Torres are the same age and also have about twice the amount of international goals. Like I said, I think Vlahovic is better, but its not such a huge difference like some people seem to think. Its a lot easier to score goals in Fiorentina, than to break into the first XI in City and doing the same in the PL.

As likely as United using any Martial money to sign Haaland.
