Paulo Dybala

[Manc in London]

He's a very talented young player, undoubtedly. I'd love him at the club. He has the X factor that could see him be one of the best.

I was quite surprised by his work rate, it's very Suarez like, plus he has the skill to match.

Him and Kun could be lethal together.

Interesting that you mention Suare, as I think he is more like the Vampire than either Tevez or Aguero.

The problem with the team is NOT work rate but goal scorers. Our goals have dried up. Dybala is a GREAT player but we don't need another hard worker, we already have Milner, Aguero , Navas and Nasri (going by his performance this season), What we need is someone who can convert more than 60% of the chances served to him and that is what Lacazette would bring to the team. We need someone who can create chances out of little or nothing. We missed out on Sanchez, we can't afford to make the same mistake with Lacazette.

Dybala = 11 goals in 22 games

Lacazette 21 goals in 22 games

its depends on what we want to play and who we want to play

If Nasri is here next season, then the formation we play will depend on whether we get a world class winger or not. If we get a world class winger I would assume you want to plat that WC winger, SIlva and Nasri together so we might be playing 4231 which means the third striker doesnt necessarily need to be a world beater. Dybla (who should be much cheaper than Lacazette) would be fine then

If pellegrini insists on 442, something that we might need to play in any case if we dont egt a world class scoring winger, then Lacazeete is a better choice. In which case I would want to use Iheanacho as 4th choice striker

FWIW, I think Aguero has show that he can play alone. I also believe Silva and Nasri do their best work together so playing them close together rather than on opposite wings should be the way. Add a WC winger and that should be devastating. 4231

hope we can get him. he can be a perfect 3rd choice striker and can be El Kun's understudy. sell both Dzeko and Jovetic in the summer.

Is Dybala taking penalties? Lacazette was scoring penalty per game for several weeks.

Lacazette still won a handful of those penalties.

While Lacazette has been banging in goals this season I don't think he will continue with the 70% shot accuracy he has had this season. For the past 3 seasons Aguero's shot accuracy has been 58% and Messi's has been 64%.

Lacazette has scored 5 penalties this season. Dybala has scored 2.

Dybala looks more of a support striker to me and a very good one at that as I think he has 7 assists so far this season.

Aguero is our best number 9 yet we haven't really got a support striker other than Jovetic who for me is just all flicks and tricks.

Dybala would add energy and workrate along with incredible skill, goals and assists, and from what I have seen he would be the perfect foil for Aguero.

I am hoping for a three or Aguero, Dybala and Bony next season with someone like Iheanacho filling that fourth position.

I like this player, but we need to get Pogba, Depay and Tielemans in the summer. So we might have to wait another summer before we look at striker.

Dybala for me would replace Jovetic.

Bony is a replacement for Dzeko in my opinion.

I agree about Pogba but Depay has Rag written all over him, Van Gaal gave him the World Cup opportunity and will have no doubt developed a relationship with him already.

Van Gaal builds a strong Dutch contingent at every club he goes to and I think Blind was just the start, I think he will add Strootman to his roster if he can get fit and Depay will be another, who knows who else he will want.

Right now he has enough wingers. I think he is more likely to add Stroots and Classie. Both are very good, we should get Depay if we go in for him. I think if we don't Spurs will probably get him. They know the value of the Dutch league. And they often get there studs there.
