Nolito

[BusterPhillips]

Is there any hope left that this one won't go through? :( Fucking 30 year old Nolito, reeks of a January-window panic buy or would someone care to explain what kind of a future are we building with scrubs like him?

Been lurking since 2010.. has posted only a handful of times.. don't know how old the player is.. I smell a rag bastard..

Haven't read a lot of the thread so may have already been said. I assume he's being brought in as he's worked under Pep before and can help with some of our young promising players whilst being a decent squad player himself over the next couple of seasons. Not sure what all the fuss is about. Pep obviously likes him.

Sure he isn't a 'wow' signing but there isn't a
top top player out there in his mould who'd
accept a bit part role like he may do..Man
almost joined Barca in January to play backup
to MSN.
Pep wants him,he understands his system(s).
Think many who expect 'marquee' signings
might be disappointed..I'd rather players who
fit into Pep's system(s)..Trophies and success
will follow.

I agree. Pep brought in an aging Xabi Alonso, Douglas Costa out of Ukraine,a Kingley Coman who couldn't get game time at PSG & Juve, and Kimmich from the German 2nd division... Wonder if Bayern fans are complaining about any of those moves??? His transfer success rate at Bayern was pretty good. Only the Lewa/Gotze,Vidal and Thiago signings were "big name" deals a quarter of his signings over 3 years.

30 this year = 30. I smell a smart-arse twat who can't handle cynicism towards questionable signings.

Guess it could be worse, the Dippers are "investing" a cool £30M on Saidio Mane.

What do you know about Nolito?

What do you know about Nolito?

I know that he has been toiling away at Celta Vigo for a few seasons, scoring a few Youtube-worthy goals. A bit of a late bloomer it seems.

I take it there's a lot to add to that?

So, can you suggest a better forward for £15 odd million, than a full Spanish international at his peak, good goalscoring record, with a few years in him and familiar with guardiola.
Name one.

Or you believe buying any player who costs just 15mn is a bad signing, no matter how much value for money, because we should only buy £100mn galacticos?

Last 3 seasons he has scored double figures,12 last year including against RM and Barca,he never stops moving and offering for the pass,i forget how many assists he has,he knows peps system,he can help sterling improve and for 14m release clause he is worth it for 2 or 3 years until some from the academy comes through.He is 29 and a spainish first teamer

Does the code of conduct say anything about calling someone a misguided fuckwit?

I would suggest putting the 15 in the piggy and promoting Roberts, for starters.

Maicon was supposed to be a good idea as well.
