Aymeric Laporte

[sk3ptical]

i think Pep want to play 3 at the back, and 2 striker upfront. we will have many CB, but lack of winger - except sterling and navas.

---------- aguero -------- nacho
----------- silva ----------- KDB
---- clichy ------- dinho --- zabaleta
---- laporte ---- kompany -- otamendi

he's gonna need world class wingers and another world class striker for that to work

Yup. Wierd bunch. Over there. They love it though. Gives them a sense of pride. I think it's wierd and slightly nepotistic. But what do I know.

I think it's admirable, they haven't exactly done badly out of it either. I'd have a lot more respect for Barca's more than a club bullshit if they did the same.

Did what? We still play with a lot of academy players. How bout City?

 

[BlueAnorak]

Pep will not play one formation he will play multiple formations depending on the opposition strengths and weaknesses:
4-3-3
3-3-3-1
4-2-3-1
4-4-2 (diamond)
Others besides...

Firstly, your acadmy is actually a professional team, so its not the same. Second, how many academy players have you given debuts to? City have given debuts this season to humphreys, adarabioyo, angelino, a. garcia, m.garcia, evans, barker, iheanacho, celina and faupala. Checkmate.

Third they are not talking about the academy.

Third they are not talking about the academy.

They were taling about bilbao only playing basque players, and sayig how barcelona should do the same if they are so pro catalan. Muniesa said they played with academy players, and said "how about city?" I told him we also played academy players, more than barca even so i dont know what your problem is?

So Txiki would personally really love this lad here?

A fellow Euskaran? He certainly would.

 

[KenTheLandlord]
