Akanji hasn’t sprinted in about 8 games
I’d prefer Khusanov, and Pep has said the same.

I can't trust what i haven't seen yet. I can hope Khusa will be great. But i haven't seen it yet.

Vitor looks even more promising with his technical ability. But can't state it until I see it

 

[Rodri’s ACL]

Wouldn’t like to be a center forward or a 10 with Him, Ruben and Khusanov in front of you.
Looks the real deal.

I assume this bloke wasn’t our first choice given the timing.

If we’re paying the release clause, albeit with a different structure in terms of payment schedule, then it begs the question as to why we didn’t do it in the first week of January.

That’s too easy mate but tbh I think he’s a good player

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

Best watched on mute - the music is gash on this one

Can see the Rodri comparision in some of his movements.

Ruined a decent tune though.

 

[Brewster's millions]

The deal took time while we negotiated his release clause down to his release clause.

All makes sense now.

Because he wasn't our first choice?

I’d normally agree, but these are odd circumstances and it may need a go.

In installments, apparently.

You need to change your username as you're far too miserable and whiny for the one you've got.........

I was thinking of Mr **** but the forum software wouldn't allow it.

The fucking state of this place

Is this you saying this or are you quoting a Porto fan?

 

[DenisLawBackHeel74]

I’m way back here on page 115….i hope you’ve got some good fucking news up there on page 144……

 

[I'm Blue]

It should be..
but going off this season it’s more likely to be..
; )

 

[GX Blue]

Does anyone go on any Porto fans forums?

Fans views are usually a key sign that this is good news or not for us.

If they are gutted, happy days. If not, throw him on the Nunes and Phillips pile.

 

[Dax777]

Eh ?

On highlights he looks like Rodri. But his production is more like Rice. I.e. Not quite Rodri level.

 

[makinghistory]

This guy really looks the business. A future Rodri. Get excited we are building another dynasty. That said Jo looked good on YT :)

Leeds were absolutely gutted to lose Phillips for "just" £42m.

While Akanji, who is having a poor season but was a key part of our treble win in his debut season, was being waved good riddance by Dortmund fans for £15m.

Real have agreed a fee for Rodri and that's why this has picked up pace.

Look at all the build up Khusanov got! Probably be this time next year if we do sign him that he’ll be used to the PL and Pep’s way of playing.

Good if we get him in though, definitely need young, energetic midfielders.

Yes! I’ve been translating the forum since we were linked.

Most think he is very good and are sad to see him go.

Some think he will struggle due to his lack of pace in England and he would be better suited to Spain.

majority seem to rate him very highly

 

[Kippax Kidd]

I'm hope he hits the ground running and proves people on this thread wrong .

A fine talent that only left Barcelona because of their financial state . They tried shift Frenkie DeJong instead but he wouldn't go because nobody else would pay him the salary he was on .

Can play the 6 and then play the 8 with Rodri .

Those 2 boys and another midfielder in the summer should bring much needed physicality back to our line up . No more getting pushed around .
