Houssem Aouar

Him, Cornet and Dembelle would walk into our current squad in my opinion.

Fuck, even Denayer would be in with a shout.

I doubt Cornet would walk into it, although he may well dive into it

 

[RobinHood]

Quite possibly, effective in what he did though. and it worked for Lyon.

Only 'cos the ref never picked him up on it.

I watched the highlight (Lowlights) back this morning and Cornet made a lot of key blocks and interceptions. As far as Denayer goes, i thought he broke the game up really well.

Cornet is supposed to be a winger and his statistics is very poor in that position. He made an important block but so had multiple atrocious players against us. I do not think that is a sign of a player we should be signing.

As for Denayer, he broke the game up well because the referee had no regard to him pushing and pulling our attackers. I would not constitute that as an excellent performance considering it requires the referee to be biased.

He's an excellent player. But he's just not what we need right now.

He'd be an immediate upgrade on Gundogan but if we're keeping him then we're just further bloating our midfield with slow, indirect players.

Foden and De Bruyne is the combination that will press all game, create something from nothing and get people out of their seats and it's infuriating to watch Pep do everything he can to resist starting with that.

When I look at Aouar I see a player who can protect the ball in tight spaces while playing it forward/directly via pass/dribble & opening up space in the attacking third - this is glaringly missing for both our clubs. Puig can provide similar I believe but I see him more as a #6 - perhaps Alena

Please take him

Can't say I agree. We've got a few players who can do that from midfield but we often deny one of them a place in the starting eleven for the sake of aimlessly controlling possession.

reminded Me of a younger Gundogan , not a defensive or attacking mid but someone who knits play together

we don’t need another Gundogan

True, imagine our midfield if you added a dynamic box to box midfielder instead of Gundogan

someone with a bit of athleticism

Looked a fitter, younger version of Gundo. Not sure he is what we need.
