Denis Zakaria

Very Spursy.

Doesn’t look better than the young Blues in the squad already!

At 6` 3 and quick, you will find it hard to find one of our DM youth who could compete with him, but it is a fair point that was not his best performance or that we do not need a Rodri replacement just a back up. i know he is not top notch and that will show in his price, but he brings what we have not got in our squad, so i would buy. It is the old story for me A carpenter is a good joiner without the tools.

Size isn’t an asset if you don’t capitalize on it. Rodri does. Zakaria might be quick, but was Ferna? Busquets? Rodri?

The primary need in that role is to boss space, pass with precision and frequency. It is not speed.

Additionally, we are not in a position to add another foreign player into a squad role. Foreign players need to be able to “compete to beat” whomever currently plays their role. I’m not sure he’s the business...from what I’ve seen, which hasn’t been much, tbf.

Size is an asset during Rodri`s time here we have hardly conceded from corners or crosses from free kicks, who ever comes in must have that boon as no one else at the club can do that, pace is the one thing that Rodri does not have, but passing is Rodri`s strength and we have lots of players and ex players that can do that. You are right Zakaria is not the business, but what he has what we have not.

Linked again today but I think I prefer Ndidi at Leicester. Both great players though.

Zakaria is a lot better on the ball. Ndidi is a good DM, but he'd get caught on the ball and wouldn't be able to do what Rodri or Dinho does playing out from the back and recycling possession.

He was the best player on the field in the first leg. I’d have him all day a Dinho’s replacement and he’d be a great challenge to keep Rodri motivated in the same way Walker and Cancelo do.

I much prefer Manuel Locatelli who we were also linked with (also a year younger)

Definitely not. He had a passable game in the second leg, but in the first one I would easily say that Neuhaus was their best player (and one that we have also been linked with. I bet Pep would love to have him)

Italians don't travel well. For that I reason id pass.
