Think that comment is probably a nod at the random quirky fact that a croatian player has been on the winning side of every CL final for the last 10 years running. It is a common joke, it was made when Madrid played Liverpool, when we were linked with Gvardiol etc.

Probably something in it, too random to not be but likely a backup for Cucurella in case that one is off.
I'm not sure what to make of this, profile seems similar to Angelino but looking at stats and valuation he seems a bit worse. Haven't watched him more closely to formulate any other opinion.
You simply won't get a guaranteed top player anymore for so cheap, huge gamble for sure.

Sosa looked fine in a back four for the Croatia NT. His Bundesliga defensive stats will be naturally worse by playing as a WB further up, same for Raum.

That pass completion stat is a potential issue.I’ve heard a lot of positive things about this guy , looks like a very good player. Has a real attacking threat too. He would be a good alternative to Cucurella. I wouldn’t be against buying Sosa + CucurellaView attachment 49992

Sounds like Kolarov.Has one of the best crosses in the Bundesliga. It’s like a homing missile. He’s average defensively but makes up for it with his attacking play, he’s calm under pressure to

Short passing 87%That pass completion stat is a potential issue.
Medium passing 75%
Long passes 47%
I think he'll be ok, he wont be pumping balls that long in this system. Crosses per 90 our highest is Foden on 0.42.
Sosa is at 1.04.
You think we might not sign a full back ?Haha..It will be interesting to see who is right about this..I’m 70/30 we won’t start with 3 full backs and rely on back up but that could mean bringing an Academy player in not just a transfer.
We can have a chat on September 2nd :-)
Sosa is interesting, a player that I hadn’t thought of.
Did anyone look at the source article? It uses City as a throwaway line along with Barcelona. Basically that Bayern want him, but City and Barcelona were at one point interested lol. There may be something to it, but it doesn't seem a concrete link.

No I think we might replace Mendy and Zin and start the season with 4 full backs rather than 3You think we might not sign a full back ?
