75 | Nico O'Reilly - 2024/25
- Thread starter balotelli's back pocket
- Start date
Bit greedy at times but I like that, quick feet, drop of the shoulder, looks a real talent.The standout newcomer for me on this USA tour. Size, skill and awareness. Could become a special player. Pep and co will already have plans for him and his development.
We've some real talent coming through. we don't want clubs like Chelski to be the beneficiaries.

There’s a nice piece in the Athletic about Nico this morning.
It makes very interesting reading.

Thought he had a great game against the hugely expensive Chelsea midfield.

He's shown a lot, but I'm surprised to see shouts for him to be the backup for Rodri. If there were one criticism of him in my eyes, it would be his defensive work/awareness. To me, he looks much more like an attacking midfielder.

Agree, also he has a hard time releasing the ball quickly which is vital for a DM. He is very far from being ready, and won't be part of the squad except for early rounds in cup games.He's shown a lot, but I'm surprised to see shouts for him to be the backup for Rodri. If there were one criticism of him in my eyes, it would be his defensive work/awareness. To me, he looks much more like an attacking midfielder.

Just pep biggin' him up i expect. We'll see Stones at DM before this lad on his todd. Definitely more effective higher up for now.He's shown a lot, but I'm surprised to see shouts for him to be the backup for Rodri.

Nico gave me Gundo vibe actually. Still a lot to learn but his running from deep can certainly be useful against packed defense.He's shown a lot, but I'm surprised to see shouts for him to be the backup for Rodri.

More Busquets than Rodri and I love it! He would give us something different
