Jude Bellingham

Cancelo is the player you describe though.

Cancelo's crosses weren't great unless it was a Trivela and he couldn't defend

Cancelo is the player you describe though.

Que? Cancelo isn’t an overlapping left back, he’s right footed for a start. Pretty obvious we are all talking about a left footed left back.

 

[pudge]

I'm not sure that we need Gvardiol especially with the form of Ake. I'd take an overlapping leftback instead, who can put crosses in.
We don't have that player at the moment and he would be perfect in that team.

I'm still in the "do whatever we can to keep Bernie" corner too.

I wouldn't, it's no coincidence that Grealish has excelled with no Cancelo in the team. He's had more space to operate in.

I'll take a left back the exact same as Ake, just more natural in that position.

except his attitude and effect on the dressing room is at the very least, questionable.

 

[simon23]

I sincerely hope Bernardo stays

Me to.

Think I read on here that if Barca cant afford him PSG might come in for him however - that would be a kick in the teeth as that is truly a one horse league and he is far too good a plyer still in the prime of his career to go on what is basically a sabatical for the best years of his career

I'm loving what Grealish is bringing to the team, the penny dropped for him and he has been brilliant the last month or so.

I'm not dropping Ake either, who has been brilliant all season.

I'm going off what Pep said a few weeks ago about not having a player who can go up and down the wing and put a cross in.
Gomez could be that player and if he can make that leap next season then great, if not we need to find a player who can.

That type of player and Bellingham are all this squad need to be complete imo.

 

[samuelyeboah]

overlapping is overrated. gimme a quick solid defender who's good on the ball.

If you look at the potential sales from the Academy alone, Harwood-Bellis, Doyle, McAtee, Esbrand, Steffen, Couto etc, we could easily get £60 million there without potential first team outgoings of Cancelo and Silva.

In the current market, those ‘academy’ players are pushing more toward the £100m mark, especially when comparing to last season; bellis, Doyle and Mcatee should fetch upwards of 70 on their own….Mcatee is one of the stand out players in the championship, would imagine 30+ with a buy back option!

When you consider we’re talking about paying €40mill on Viega, Mactee could easily take a squad place next season

 

[Kompany Car]

Yep but silva might stay and we ain’t getting anything for Cancelo no one will pay the 60m we would want! Even if we knocked the fee down to 40m with his wages he be hard to shift

Considering at the end of the season he has been with us for 3 yrs and his price was €65m anything more than €26m would be seen as a profit on the books.

Indeed, however that appetite for game time will surely dictate having played the best part of 40 games by season end!

There’s no reason he couldn’t replace Berny along with Jude replacing Gundo

Big ask for me personally, pal, to fill that void; should Bernardo move on, which is highly likely this year, we are losing a world class operator who although has no comparable in Europe for me, has to be replaced with a player with not only more experience but also maturity, you can’t lose both gundo and Bernie and not expect a downturn with that proposed youth, however talented they are….

with Bellingham coming in, we will need a balance!

I tend to agree, however, if we are going for Viega and Bellingham as the replacements then the big question is why Viega over Mactee?

Iv'e thought for a while, Foden is the closest we have to Bernardo's skill set, energy, close control. play central or wde right.

 

[el wey]

I'm over at signature (private jet)just waiting for the players ,just been told jb22 was here the other day

By whom? Can you elaborate? Is it flight tracking time already?

 

[r.soleofsalford]

I think the big problem is Bernardo wife isn’t happy here. I thought about it and decided to give her a few of my free r.s love vouchers. I’ll even allow her to share my tin bath in front of the fire before and after an unforgettable night of love making.

This harks back to the days when elite clubs would start a player destabilisation campaign through the media, forcing the player's club to the negotiating table with a low-ball offer.

Club's fearing a transfer request & a player agitating for a move & even threatening to go on strike, ultimately ended up yielding.

The Scousers still think this will work today as it's always done... Really? \0/

\0/ Is this Harry Maguire going for a headed clearance "in a congested area"?

Now, that's a post I can get behind.
