Jesus Navas - 2016/17 performances

[stonerblue]

Following vinny he was my motm today. Became a man possessed after his injury.

Same here. Great defensive work to begin the move for our 2nd (could be 3rd, was a bit pissed...)

 

[Plain Speaking]

I like his speed and attitude but he does not have sufficient control or intelligence. It is surprising how a professional footballer can give away a foul throw at his age by not having 2 feet on the ground. A rare great strike for the long range shot and more composure than usual. I wish the lad well but we were lucky Tadic did not have his shooting boots on at 0-0.

In his defence, Chelsea gave away two foul throws the other week.

And that makes it ok then?
A schoolboy error that should not happen in professional football.

I posted in another thread that I thought it was funny that refs can pick up an innocuous foul throw mighty speedily with such clear authority and yet screw sides over when the rest of the universe sees a blatant penalty.

I think he is worth keeping as a rwb/full back as long as he's prepared to be a squad player.

It suits him going forward as he has more space. When he plays as an out an out winger he runs out of space to run into and can't pick a pass as easily.

Think hes already agreed with Seville, enrolled his children in the school there. Been very good as a right back but hes not the answer for next season.

 

[OB1]

I think he will leave in the summer but he has progressed rapidly in the right back role. I think he actually becomes more of an attacking threat as a right back.

We have to buy a new first choice right back but giving Navas a one year extension and loaning Maffeo out for another season might not be the worst plan.

We need a fair bit of turnover of the squad to get the most out of having Pep here but there has to be some balance to that change and there are benefits to keeping players who have had a year of playing for Pep under their belts.

 

[Tevez City]

I hope Pep can convince him to stay.

A rb with his quality will cost more than 30m.

If Navas does go then I'll wish him all the best back in Seville. He's been a real professional for us but it's probably best for both teams if he goes back.
