75 | Nico O'Reilly - 2024/25

[deano ou812]

Nico is one of the most versatile players I've seen playing for City.

He's being nurtured as a left back, but his natural position is attacking midfielder (this was evident when he cleverly found space for the Everton goal). In my opinion, as he continues to develop, he could also potentially play as a number six, number 8, or even as a central defender. I say this because he's only just turned 20 and his big frame is still filling out.

It's a huge relief that we didn't cash in and sell him to Chelsea. That would have been an absolute disaster. Now we have retained one of the best young talents I've seen with City.

Was he linked with Chelsea I don’t remember this sure it just wasn’t lazy rumours linking every bloody player with Chelsea. ?

A ‘real’ blue living his dream. Some players don’t take their chance, Nico has more than done that, can’t wait to see how he develops.

 

[Jonas.shaffer]

So damn good.

 

[chris85mcfc]

Excellent again

 

[oldius]

For me, his best game. Well done.

 

[Lauz9888]

Lovely young player. Can't wait to see how he develops. Important not to get carried away with his potential but he's been a bright spark for us in a mediocre season.

 

[madloaf]

He's ace.

 

[Chak19]

He's got a tremendous delivery in him.

 

[jollylescott]

Superb performance.

So assured and he's brought so much quality to the team.

 

[01cravend]

If he keeps going at this pace and learning the position, then we don't need a LB in the summer. Some of the best crossing since Kolarov had a good game.

 

[p.taker]

This guy is a boss. Could probably fill in at any position in the outfield

 

[daztrueblue91]

He’s some player this lad. He needs to be given a chance in midfield though.

 

[come-on-barney]

He just gets better and better!

 

[Manchester_lalala]

I hope he gets chance to play in midfield as he’s to good with his feet to play left back.

 

[TFC]

I love him. Got all the tools to be a huge success in our midfield if Pep will ever play him there.

 

[stan bowles]

Next season...it's him in central midfield. The lad is an outstanding player with a massive future. First name on the team sheet now. In with a shout of our player of the season he's been that good.

 

[FromPollockToSilva]

Yeah alright, he’s big and strong, with a great engine, excellent technique, an eye for goal and a great delivery from wide areas, plus he can carry the ball

But aside from that? Shite

 

[balotelli's back pocket]

Wow, wow, wow.

I want him in midfield yesterday.

 

[jollylescott]

Wow, wow, wow.

I want him in midfield yesterday.

I'm sure that's where he'll end up. He has the physicality of Yaya and the touch of a top quality midfielder.

I can't get over how good he is, and he's only turned 20 a month ago.

 

[Otamendi's Beard]

Top drawer. Definition of an all-rounder.
