Players who might improve us

[Gaz (FMwkdsoul)]

Does seem really talented. Also why doesn't Brighton play Lamptey? Wonder if he could be a stop gap option for us

Injuries, they take very little risk with him this season.

Ivd been trying to think of a 8/6 hybrid i like and have finally come across one I'm impressed with:

Ezekiel Palacios... I came across some City tuber doing an analysis of his play and im all in after watching lots of his videos. He is exactly the type of player my mind believes we need. An 8 who can play 6 in.a pinch.

I knew of him and have seen him for Argentina once or 2ixe and never thought much of him. He is far more impressive than i gave him credit for though.


Im all in now. Tijja i Reijnders and Ezekiel Palacios. 2 mids id be highly interested in acquiring.

I don't see where Nobbins (on Youtube) was able to sell me on Palacios as a 6. I don't see it myself...

City have had a long standing interest in Palacios but never completed the deal. Goes back to 2018 when he was at River Plate in Bleacher report it mentions that City were competing with Real Madrid for his signature. Palacios left River eventually in 2020. An embed problem prevented me from uploading this article. It basically claimed Palacios was a DM.

I think its more projection. In fairness same can be said of someone like Ederson who is not a specialized DM either.

I can aee why we've been interested. Very Pep-ish player. Knows where the ball is going before he gets it and quickly readjusts to be open for a return pass.

Very nifty quick touch touch in tight space type player. But he has a tackle on him. Im sure he isnt a 6. Bit he can do whatever Gundo siscon 18/19 season.

After Palacios won the World Cup with Argentina in 2022 he split with his wife and she sold his World Cup winners medal and shirt as part of a vindictive settlement.

He does tend to pick up injuries but nothing to suggest that would keep,him out long term. Tend to be 1 or 2 games. Although beginning of this season he was missing for around a month.

I think Dejan Kulusevski would a cracking addition to our squad.

Yes but my point was intentionally non-specific to Salah but instead a larger point about having an established and consistent winger regularly producing for us as we are not signing Salah in any reality. That hypothetical winger could play on either side.

we can't bring in another winger without losing one first. We see foden, nunes and bernardo out wide but none of those are actual wingers. we currently have 4 of them, Bobb, doku and savinho are all under 23 and aren't going anywhere anytime soon so the only logical one would be grealish and even that's highly unlikely as we'd struggle to find a taker.

Grealish to go he does not do enough!! We keep waiting let’s get half of our money back!! The other three can cover the wing spot, don’t believe we can play with two wingers. Buy Frimpong back he could do the job ( like Kyle never could) but cover him with a right sided DM Rico or and get Kimoch for now!!

I think we will end up with Pepelu that’s my guess. Hugo Larsson we were linked with before he went to Frankfurt could be a good option. I’m a fan of Palacios too.
