It's Quiet thread 14 - 'do one' edition

[decmancity]

So? When KDB does Worldie passes do we blame the opposition defence?

Blame is a strong word, I don’t sit here and go on about the defending either way.
Anyway, not the right thread to discuss old Barry Kane. He’s got his own thread, thankfully we will never sign him.

Ye thankfully we'll never sign 1 of the best CF in the world.

Just want to say for when there was an argument on Kane here a lot of posters were saying Kane is not a creator lol. Go watch all the assists vs Southampton today brilliant crosses and passes

20 odd in 200 plus games.

what’s Kun’s or shearers ??

They are goal scorers not creators ffs any assists are a bonus

He’s more than just a greedy goal scorer (with a disturbingly huge chin) but I wouldn’t label him as a ‘creator’. Today was clearly an aberration and may be largely due to the opposition’s lack of fitness. Very few defences appear to be at the races yet.

Kane is a great player and i would have him next summer

Always said it but Son is the one we should go for...Great finisher...certainly better than Sterling, Mahrez or Jesus

He is also able to play across he front 3 whereas Kane isnt...nor is he a sick note like Kane

I think you're only seeing the positives of Son and not acknowledging there are times he frustrates as well.

I'm not denying he's a very good player but to say he's certainly better than the three you listed is a rather extreme statement.

Nope.

He looks good when teams give him plenty of space to run. Against the packed defenses which we play against his best attributes will be nullified.

If Mahrez had played for Tottenham today against Southampton he would have got 4 assists and then 4 goals on his own.

Son reminds me of a more clinical version of Jesus but talk of signing him is immaterial. Levy would want nine figures.

How clinical was Son 5 years ago though, genuine question, I don’t really know. Jesus could easily develop his game to become better than Son.

all players frustrate at times

I also said he is a better finisher than the 3 i stated...not better player....his close control wont rival Mahrez for instance - his closing down wont rival jesus either. His finishing however does rival all 3 however.

Think you are thinking of a different Mahrez!

You did, my apologies. Even still, I'm happy to acknowledge he can definitely rival them, but to say certainly better again misses the times we've seen him not take his chances. He's definitely more confident than Sterling and Jesus, but he lacks the positioning of Sterling and the variety of Jesus. As a one on one finisher I do think he's more likely to score than Sterling and Jesus, but I don't think the margin is that big. I think Mahrez is better than he gets credit for.

Think you are thinking of a different Mahrez!

Mahrez against teams that give him a lot of space to attack is our best attacker after De Bruyne. It's just he never gets that kind of space because of how we play.

 

[Zin 'messiah' Zimmer]

he signs that and it’s virtually a guarantee Messi is coming

Not the forum to be posting positives about Marhez, some think hes shit.

Just putting it into the context of potential Messi signing.

Juve are a different club to us. Cant help but feel they have less room to grow commercially. They were “european elite” already, they have nearly walked their league for the past 10 years, serie A doesn’t have the commercial pull or strength of external finance of the prem etc etc.

Definitely need to make sure it doesn’t bankrupt us by signing messi, but even if its minorly loss making, it will elevate the club a few tiers whereas Juve were probably already there
