10 | Rayan Cherki - 2025/26

[Otamendi's Beard]

Foden is a great player. His achievements at such a young age are criminally underrated by our fan base.

Sorry. Thought this was the Cherki thread?

Why is praising Cherki's unique skillset a slight on Phil?

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

For another £80m, we could have got Wirtz instead.

 

[Chak19]

Worried me then, thought the 2nd half of that sentence was going to be a crackpot conspiracy theorist.

Ha, I'm only talking footballing wise of course.

He's quoted you in error I think. Someone else said that he wished Foden was doing what Cherki does.

 

[super_city_si]

Going to be a superstar. Fancy not starting him.

 

[MikeF]

He’s got an arrogance about him and I’m liking it!

 

[bobom]

Love how quick thinking he is. Always looking to act. Bit like Kevin in that sense, even if he's different in execution.

 

[Gumzy97]

The one attribute he has over every other player is he's both footed. He's not got a weak foot really, how do you defend that. He can hurt you on his right and his left

 

[King Jay]

Very direct. That’s what we needed.

 

[Berti No Show]

Different class. Feels like he has 10 seconds on the ball every time he gets it. Got that Neymar ability about him.

Feel like everytime he steps onto a pitch he's the best player on that pitch. Special player.

 

[BlueMoonz1977]

Guy has creativity in his genes

 

[Kinkladze 1]

Thanks Cherki. 16/1 to score the 4th goal!!

 

[TonyM]

We need to find a functioning starting first 11 that includes Cherki. He is too good not to be playing 80+ minutes week in week out.

Silky smooth. Best football player we've signed in a long while.

Reminds me of a Prem quality player signed by a Championship team that just transforms everything (Benarbia, Berkovic, Bishop, etc)

 

[GH64]

It’s going to be tricky to keep Foden, Reijnders, Bobb, Cherki, Bobb and Doku happy all season, especially since Bernado and Gundogan are still around.

Sell one of the Bobbs.

 

[Bucko]

 

[MCFCFanTX]

New Merlin

 

[It'sBlue93:20]

Brilliant player. Insane technique. Proper maverick.

 

[Charlesfarsbar]

Rodri, Reijnders, Foden, Cherki Marmoush

This lot behind the greatest striker of this generation is frightening for the rest of the league

 

[DD93]

I wrote in match thread and will write here as well :D

Looks like Tevez reincarnation.

While watching hime during pre-season, I also thought that False9 position would be very suitable for him.

Needs that freedom and ability to move around and be everywhere.
Will be great alternative for Haaland, when injured or rested or whatever.

You can just tell from these little cameos so far that he abdolutely oozes class. Incredible that we got him for such a low fee. Has to start against Spurs.
