It's Quiet 16 - Txiki grinders

[Semper aggressus]

City linked to Renato Sanches, least its a new name for once. Another Portuguese lad in the mix.

Spanish press though, so prob rubbish

Hope not, he’s rubbish.

Imagine comparing Pep with that horrific prick, and referring to him as " Fergie".

Exactly, mate! He should refer to him as "Sir Alex"! Give the man his due. ;)

For 160 million, I'd want him to do that four times every match and score two....its a lot of money, but not my money, thankfully.

Agree. We need a player who is near the goal, not in our own half.

We need a player that does both, that's the point and why it's a very small pool.

Yeah fair point, I can't disagree. I suppose what I should say is we need a player who is better in the box *more* than one who works further back. Kane's pace concerns me that he won't be arriving in the box after dropping.

Maybe it wouldn't matter so much given our possession stats.

Think the fact we play high up the pitch would help, Sounds to me from whats being said Haaland is first choice but we want to know if he's committed by January even if it's for the summer and we are split between Kane and Vlahovic if he won't commit. Can't say I know enough about Vlahovic to have an opinion, but trust the club to make the best decision.

He drops and the mid gets overrun, or he ties up the CBs and the space is there for the 8's etc

Where you lose you gain, i'll Kane dropping but by god he drops way too far looking for the ball, i want him dropping to the #10 into picking the ball up in the #6.

Maybe Pep will just say, "see that spot? Stand there and wait for the ball, it will come, and put it in the net".

Although Kane would be third option for me, after Vlahovic and Haaland.

He isn't being coached by Pep Guardiola. Yet .

To be fair Sanches was awful in Germany, he is playing well now he is out of that straight jacket of a league, i would be very happy if we got Sanches or Bissouma in January as Rodri`s back up, both are quick good footballers on low wages
