Jeremy Doku

[ONTHERUNWITHTHAKSIN]

He has too short a stride to be an outright pace merchant. He's like a car that's geared for acceleration, not top speed. He'll top out around the 155mph that Kev (used to) do, rather than the 200mph of Haaland or Sane in full flight. But he's astonishingly quick from a standing start. Like a Metro 6r4 or something, if anyone remembers them. He's there for Gymkhana, where they put the cones out in a limited space, he's the best going. He's got perfect balance and pulls off remarkable changes in direction and pace. He's the most responsive. If he's a car, he gets to the far end of the tescos parking lot and back again before your m4's and v8 mercedes have got out of first gear.

It's not just physical. He has the reactions and technique to make it work. He makes sure to get touches in on the ball, nice and controlled. Fast. Quick. While the other guy is trying to get his balance back. And we're talking all manner of touches. A wide range of technique. He's clearly studied, trained and worked hard.

Something about the way he plays, he reminds me of a basketball player. He looks like the new generation. A really interesting set of strengths.

The sort of player we need then

Why would that be ?

Because they did it with Liverpool for Lavia.

They did it with City for Cucurella.

They did it with Arsenal for Mudryk.

They just buy everyone else's targets.

They are looking at a right winger by the looks of it so Doku fits the bill.

Plus they get deals done very quickly. No fuss.

I said Tevez.

As much as I can see it mate, still think not many beat Sergio for that acceleration over a short distance, the balance, the reading of defenders body shape etc, although Maradona remains the master of that particular one for me, either way, funny they’re all Argentines.

Steinberg. He’s also suggesting West Ham is getting Kudus to replace Paqueta

The Guardian saying Doku is expected to join City

All had a small bull like physique as well.

Plenty of times they didn’t do it. They will only do it if we aren’t that bothered. If we want him and he wants us we’ll get him.

He might not want to go like Olise

What City is waiting for to get the job done? Why waiting and losing the time just to encourage other clubs to inter the race and may start a price bidding war that will raise the price unnecessarily?

Guessing it’s the structure of the payment being discussed still
