I couldn't care less about "likes" mate. It was posted in jest, we used to have a great sense of humour as fans, sadly it's long gone.

We still have great humour at matches.

Dont expect our fortunes to turn on this signing alone, but (i know) from his clips he looks strong in the tackle and very good technically. Has to be an upgrade on we're running right now.

get him in, Dias and Ake back and it will look a lot different.

 

[Rodri’s ACL]

Have to say, I’m surprised we didn’t pay the 60 million release clause for Zubimendi. Same price, but we’ve opted for Nico instead.

 

[BringBackSwales]

he looks a underwhelming signing,

Based on what? You stupid boy Pike

 

[bigceeb]

Ballsy to go for 21 - there might be some comparisons going on there ;)

In deference to the previous great spaniard Sergio Gomez no doubt.

Erm no.
He a cheeky signing.

He clearly didn't want to come, hence we didn't activate the clause

Not a lot we can do if the player doesn’t want to join.

looks good in these clips

I'll have to take your word for it coz once the 'song' started I switched the fucker off.

Fair enough so. Really hope arsenal don’t get him in summer

Did Zubimendi tell you personally that he wanted to come to us? I only ask because if he didn’t, then we wouldn’t be able to sign him, like Liverpool in the summer

 

[Pell]

Anyone know much about this lad?

He's quick, he's fast and he's got pace.

He's big he's brown he'll make you look a clown.

Most of us lot on here have got that if you're comparing us to Gundo, Kev and Kova.

Zubimendi knows he would be a back up to rodri same as in spain and didnt wanna risk it

I do honestly wish there were more YouTube videos of "lowlights" to balance these out.
I think this is a good signing though - not because I know anything much about Nico, but because we needed to be decisive in getting a new midfielder in and the right type of midfielder. Txiki and Co. tracked this guy for a long time over the years so the recruiting team should know him well. I have to trust in that because I don't think we were going to make the top 4 just playing our current midfield - we needed more legs and importantly a different type of midfielder to add to the mix.

Even more importantly perhaps, unless he is a complete dud, it should free up Kovacic and Bernardo to do the things Kovacic and Bernardo do best with less risk.

Gif to admit really looking forward to seeing this lad as I think he could be a real prospect and it’s got to be an improvement on what we have atm .

 

[cleavers]

We still have great humour at matches.

Thankfully we do.

 

[moggymoz]

What number would he be taking? Obviously no 16/17, but he has used 14 before. Maybe 21 or 12 too.

My guess would be 115

 

[kingn6]

Is he Portuguese?

Neither is Nico but they played in Liga P
