Yeah, I paused on Raz TBH. Any player OTHER than him...At the end of the 2013/14 season Raz had 12 career goals. He was 19 at the end of the 2013/14 season and scored a further 22 goals in his next two seasons ... so 34 at age 21.

Said it just before the Lyon match - if you search him it comes up. Hope he is rightWhere has he said this?
"central midfield player - especially one who is neither defensively a machine nor offensively a machine"
He turned 22 1.5 months ago FFS. Name me one player on our club who was a legit "machine" at 22. I've scanned the roster:
KDB no
Bernie no
Fern no
Laps no
Gabby not there yet
Raz no (10 goals all comps that age)
Is it just me who cringes at these nicknames

Okay it is not `Rubbish` to have different view points Auoar is quick witted and has quick feet, but he is not fast, we have no fast players in his position , Silva leaving does not mean we need a new midfielder, we have Bernardo, Foden, Gundogan and KDB in the position he plays in, none of them fast or tall, what we do need is a third choice striker for when our first 2 are out, a left winger or even a back up left winger a decent left back, and those are all the faults that we had last year that some on here threw in a bunch of names that could do the job, but in real life they could not,It’s not ‘rubbish’ simply a different opinion. He’s faster upstairs and faster at keeping the ball away from others, which is why they were consistently compelled to bring him down; he doesn’t have to be a sprinter to be fast. He was also instrumental in both their second and third goals, so hardly disappearing. In terms of squad position, Silva has already left so Aouar would take his slot.
I don’t base my judgement on liking particular players. Instead, I look at them and think do they have the technical ability we require? Would they fit our style of play and are they of the right age and experience to play in our squad? Similarly, do they have the right character? If we do sign Aouar and Koulibaly, I’ll be satisfied that the club has signed players and people that fit with what it has and what it needs now.
I am glad you did not try to say Auoar got 2 assist,because that would suggest Dembele was MOTM with his 10 minutes and 2 goals.
As for Koulibaly can not wait to see him in our high back line, with him having a poor season due to him slowing down.
