Moaning in the match threads and arguing with RayCTID about Cole Palmer

Minor disagreement not a argument.

 

[RayCTID]

He is more advanced than our current EDS and if anything it does take some of the heat off the likes of JSP who don't look ready for the first team.

 

[pee dubya]

Most of those slide tackles in the video are actually pretty controlled.

One or two were risky.

Obviously the shittest mistimed ones won't actually be in the video.

So to conclude, maybe he's quite good, or he might not be.

Hes young enough to have that coached out of him. Sliding should be a last resort. Pace and physicality with ball playing ability, he’ll learn there’s no need to slide

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

He still is. I wouldn’t say he’s a quick player either. If we’re signing centre backs there coming into to play in the middle in my view.

It just seems logical to give your own a chance, who I think have more potential. Rather then spending millions on other young players with potential

Whilst I agree we should be testing out our youth players more, I do think that we need a rapid defender to negate the counter attacks were conceding from in each game.

Doyle and THB are probably both slower than what we already have.

I can’t begin to compare Kusanov as I hadn’t heard of him until this week.

It’s the pace element that I like about the potential deal.

 

[Txiki Txiki Bang Bang]

He’d be a much welcomed addition due to his pace alone

Let's not forget Mangala was also very fast, besides any half decent attacker would have already done the damage like three seconds before he arrived

 

[Txiki Txiki Bang Bang]

Whats Scot Sinclair up to these days?

Tearing it up at Bristol Rovers

 

[TonyColemansbagofapples]

Anyone seen much of the young centre half at Bournemouth who has been getting lots of praise?
How does this lad compare?

He has scored a couple of goals so the hype is heightened. Still very unproven to me. Obviously potential but no more right now.

 

[bell_mcfc]

He is better than what we currently have. He walks into our 11 based on his performances this season as compared to our lads. He takes RCB spot with Ruben next to him, and Manu Akanji moves to RB. Nathan ( or Josko) at LB. He has the best U20 stats in the world for a defender, and one of the best of any defenders out there.

I’m all for it. Akanji at RB or into midfield if we don’t sign anyone.

That’s the thing another CB helps massively with squad depth.

I’d rather we signed a CDM as well just saying there’s a chance.

any of our defenders would be on the halfway line

Haven't seen loads but I actually think Zabarnyi who's next to him has been better (at defending) in the games I've seen.

As of today, still I don't understand how the hell we managed to fuck up Mangala signing. Did he all of a sudden turned into shit after playing excellent debut match against Chelsea or our scouts did fuck all when they identified him as potential signing?

It's a complete mystery to me.

Hi Abdukodir

Bless you

 

[youngbob]

Amazing how many people on social media now have strong opinions on an Uzbek footballer with 25 league games in the French league

There was a period between 2010 and 2018 when I tried to watch as much football as possible, and it got to the point where I sort of knew about every signing we made. It killed a bit of the excitement, in all honesty, and it became a competition to know more than the next guy about Bernardo Silva, Fernando, Demichelis, whoever. Since the pandemic I've tuned out of so much football that's not City, which means we're signing dozens of players who are completely unknown to me and it's added a lot of fun back in.

No idea who this Khusanov lad is, except from little bits I've read today. Apparently he's young, presumably not injury prone, and an option we can use in defence. At the moment, that's more than enough for me, lol. Of course, my ignorance around new signings has only been made so comfortable by just trusting Pep to nurture them into better players than they otherwise would have been. Who the fuck was chasing players like Ruben Dias or Rodri before we signed them? They weren't exactly linked with all and sundry, were they? But I'll stay this way even after Pep goes tbh.

Mangala was blessed with terrific strength, good height, decent technique, and incredible speed. However, he was also cursed with a brain that rendered him incapable of ever getting those four attributes to work together.

 

[christened at st marks]

He does play DM as other to CB pace we need for the future

 

[Dax777]

You saying vwe getting the wrong CB?

 

[richards30]

Shouldn’t be hard to do this quickly should it? Others circling and it would be nice to do one of these types of deals before trying to sign him in a year to two for £80m

I went through a similar time where I'd have a football match on at every single waking moment of the day or night. I'd watch everything. And I still didn't feel qualified to comment.
Shit, I've watched Rico Lewis 100 times and I still can't work out how good he is.
Even if they watched every single game he's ever played, 25 games in the French midtable is not enough information to start making waves about how he's better than Akanji. These kids on X think because they signed him on FIFA or FM then they know them. Our Talent ID staff, professionals who are academically qualified and have long term experience doing the job, won't be able to be certain about how a player turns out. How @KDB_szn_8293 knows, I don't know.

I think the only player that managed to maintain his standard under Pellegrini was KDB, Even players like Yaya and Silva became so poor, at some point I thought I was watching Steed Malbranque play for us. Pellegrini was an atrocious manager, had nothing on Mancini
