Diego Carlos

Just saw that penalty thing. Honestly, like a few others have said, the thing that I took from it is that he's bloody fast! Literally 99% of players wouldn't have reached the area if he was chasing them. He'll play someone like Traore a handful of times a season at most. The pen wasn't great, but I don't think it was catastrophic really.

He just let Traore chest the ball, without going within 5 yards of him.

Traore, being shite, wasted the ball, but you would have thought he might be keen not to give him any space.

You heard if he’s our first choice or Koulibaly still or even anything?

Might if you wanted to use Zinchenko as part of any deal.

Yeah that was my thought. Forgot it for a second :)

Funny how everyone assume Zinchenko is the one leaving but it would make most sense I guess. Angelino still of to Leipzig?
 
Just watched the penalty incident back five times or so. The only real opportunity Diego had to take out Traore before he got to the box is the initial touch he took halfway inside his own half. If he did that then would we be criticising him for picking up an "unnecessary" booking?

The only other question I've got is why was he so far out of position? I've not been able to pay full attention because I'm moving my mum's living room around. Was he just chasing in the first place? Kounde left a big space for Traore to run into because he was covering the man who ran into where Carlos should have been.

They have made the usual ‘we’d love to but not at that price’ noises, but for a team on the brink of the CL semi-finals that rings a little hollow. Would be rather ironic if Angelino goes further in the tournament than us...

The Steve Bruce, sideways barge into him & both fall over, would have sufficed imo.

Not sure why he was there. Perhaps he had been watching Koulibaly.
 
If like to think we’ve scouted him and like koulibaly not based on one game
He looks big strong athletic
Thing is can he retain possession and can he tackle
We seem to struggle with having players who can do both!
 
Honestly, he seems to look ideal for us. Really does. Seems so composed on the ball. Looks the part. I’ve gone from desperate for KK to hoping we bin our move for him off and go all out for Carlos. I’m sure we could include a player to lower the fee if City deemed £67 (€75m) release clause too much.
 
City made a mistake with overpaying for Stones so I think they are very careful of making the same mistake again. 75m is ridiculous for this guy. He barely have any experience. 1 season in La Liga and 50 minutes against Wolves and everyone suddenly want to splash the cash on him.

I don't know one way or the other, but I do know he has done fuck all in the last 2 games & the guy next to him has been as good or better.
