Lavezzi and Nasri to conclude our deals for the summer
BlueJill,BlueJill said:Dax777 said:Or just Nasri and Lavezzi, if both works. As Nasri can play in the middle. Actually so can Lavezzi.BlueJill said:This is my question to. Looks like he and Nasri would play in the same spot (out right in a 4-2-3-1). I assume (or hope we are looking at two players to play in the 3 spots behind the lone striker). Someone who knows a lot more about these players correct me if I wrong but one of Nasri/Lavezzi AND say Mata would be the way to go right?
Dax,
I have always had it in my head that Nasri is not nearly as effective in the middle as he is out wide. Am I wrong? I would hate to buy two players whose best positions are out right and make one of them play in the middle when a Mata who seems equally good on the left and middle is sitting out there for the taking. Especially now that Pool seems to be chasing Downing giving us a straight shot at Mata.
Would you agree that Mata - Silva - Lavezzi sitting behind a lone striker is the better move than getting both Nasri and Lavezzi?
Even Mata (who I personally prefer to either of the other 2) is also a wide player who sometimes plays behind the Striker or as the Striker.
Nasri in the few games I saw last season when Fab was out, played very well in the middle. All 3 players are good and have slightly differing strengths. Mata has the best vision, and is prolly the best passer/mover off the ball. Nasri might be smoothest and the safest bet. Lavezzi the fastest and most gritty. They all just bring unique qualities that are adaptable both outside and inside.<br /><br />-- Wed Jul 06, 2011 12:57 pm --<br /><br />

Outside a Tevez replacement?

Thanks Dax. It just seems that if I am reading things right Nasri and Lavezzi are comfortable right and center and Mata is comfortable left and center. Seems like a more balanced purchase to get Mata and one of the other two if we are going to buy two. Sounds like you would probably agree with that, no?
We really might have Tevez, as I doubt we can sell him.okstate99 said:Dax777 said:Quite possible.mancityscot said:Lavezzi and Nasri to conclude our deals for the summer

And a Given replacement. And depending on what we do with Boateng and Boyata I am not convinced we aren't in for one more CB.

Remember seeing this guy against Liverpool. I thought he was a quality player back then, very skillful, almost tevez like in style but obv not quite that standard, but I think he'd be a brilliant capture.
