Agreed. I`d even take him over Theo (who I`ve watched live loads of times). Theo is good but relies a lot on athleticism and pace, besides he`s not the most intelligent player and not so good in possession. Don`t think he would be a good fit at City, even though he`s been top class at times for AC Milan.100%. The only reason why I thought nobody was getting linked with him is because I assumed the Ajax deal was boxed off. Quality in defence and going forward, evidently has leadership qualities, available for peanuts and a really good eye for a pass.
This isn't just a cheaper alternative, he's quality.
Wijndal would be top of my list. Very complete left-back. Pretty quick, very good on the ball, has a surprisingly good long-range shot and his crossing is also very good. Can`t believe how we haven`t been linked with him in the media, surely he`s got to be one of the names on our list?

None of the above, a few are embarrassing to even debate....the best footballer is comfortably Cucurella, but he's slower than a one legged dead elephant.
Are you calling Cucurella slow? That’s the biggest “oopsie” I’ve seen on this thread. He’s rapid afNone of the above, a few are embarrassing to even debate....the best footballer is comfortably Cucurella, but he's slower than a one legged dead elephant.

Well last summer it was suggested he was going to Barca and then he was seen as a nailed on Ajax signing from about December onwards.
He's still really young, the captain of his boyhood club and broke into the national team quite a while ago so I guess there's been no rush for him to leave. But I think once he leaves AZ and goes to a bigger club then he will end up being courted by all the top clubs.
It honestly makes sense on every conceivable level but I guess I'll just have to trust the club.

Yeah, that was a weird take. What LB (playing or retired) would you compare him to?Are you calling Cucurella slow? That’s the biggest “oopsie” I’ve seen on this thread. He’s rapid af
He's not very technical, right? Hardly a Marcelo. But his energy and tenacity partly compensate for that

City rarely buy players from such inferior leagues, probably think it's too much of a risk. Cucurella is La Liga and Prem provenConsidering hes a rioala client as well, cant believe he hasnt been pitched during the haaland talks
He’s fast, technical (like a winger), passing top level, defending decent. He doesn’t have any major flaws either. He’s just a great fullback. Can’t compare him to anyone reallyYeah, that was a weird take. What LB (playing or retired) would you compare him to?

I'd still say he's got quite a lot to prove in the Premier League. He's been decent but he seems to become a better player every time I open this thread.
