It's Quiet 17 - Glory Thread

[MafeotulBlue]

As a winger it would be Leao for me. He would dominate the fuck out of most PL back lines, his pace and strength make him a scary fucker. As a mid, i still think we should buy Paqueta this summer. We won’t unfortunately.

Nkunku could play up top on the right.

Hardly ever played there, He's practically a 9 or 10 nowadays. Just dont see it.

I like him, he practically plays in the same space we have Haaland for right now as a 9. Neto is a left winger for that reason i'd take him. Unless we change formation, cant see where Nkunku fits or would want to be shuffled out wide

Bollocks.



He played a total of 8 games as a 9 last season.

Go watch him and how high up he's playing. RB are setting up in 3412 with him on the line of defence breaking into space through the middle.

Transfer market still reckon this is a SS.

That’s because he plays off the main striker. Meaning he’s not even close to the same position as Haaland. Nkunku is good enough to play anywhere either way.

not saying he isnt. We dont play two upfront and hes not gonna be playing an 8. Happy to be wrong but dont see us going for him at all. Not a lack of talent or class just a case of where? He's smashing it as a 10 and we dont really use one.

He could easily play the more attacking 8 for us imo (assuming Kev isn’t playing or is playing slightly deeper). He could also play on either wing so effectively.

Half of our squad are 10s. Bernardo, de Bruyne, Foden, Grealish, Palmer, Gomez, Álvarez

Fair, just think we'll go elsewhere.

Oh, me too. He’d be my choice but I don’t think City will go for him.

Well OK. I think he can play on either side up top in a 4-3-3 which he has done throughout his youth career and as an 8 or 10. He is as versatile as he is effective. He is world class and has moved ahead of Griezmann for France. I would take him in a heartbeat and I'm pretty sure I'm not in the minority. Don't be surprised if Pep moves for him next Summer, especially if his 60 mil euro buyout is still valid.
