You should check out what some dude said about him 3 years ago to derision here :)

Have you watched much of Kenny Lala in ligue 1? He's apparently a very good attacking rb but I haven't seen much of him. Also, our need for a lb is much greater than rb I guess.

He is good but too old i think now for a big club to be interested in.
 
I’ve heard that Florentino who’s currently breaking into Benficas first team is a huge talent. 19yo DM, who’s strong, powerful and good defensively. Surely couldn’t be that expensive

This is a good shout. Someone to keep an eye on the future.
 
Watched Leverkusen-Krasnodar yesterday, Julian Brandt was immense.

Bosz has converted him from inside forward/AM into a Pep-style 8.

Compared to KdB he has roughly the same height and physique, same ability to play both in attack and midfield, same powerful shot, worse (though still very impressive) delivery but much better technique on the ball and ability in tight spaces (almost Zidane/Iniesta-like).

Also, he's less dynamic than KdB when gets forward and relies more on short passing and silky technique.

Krzysztof Piatek is arguably the major breakthrough of the year amongst attacking players.
15 goals in 20 games for Genoa, 1 in 1 for Poland, 7 in 6 for Milan (!!!). He has his own style, but I'm getting that Inzaghi/Crespo/Sheva vibe about him.


Edit: He has just scored again :D

According to La Gazetta dello Sport Piątek is a mix of 6 former AC Milan players:

Inzaghi - instinct
Shevchenko - decisions
Gilardino - heading
van Basten - acrobatic skills
Ibrahimovic - personality
Pato - pace

If we do decide to move on from Mahrez I’d love to try to get Douglas Costa. Thrives in Peps system and very tricky out wide. Knows what it’s like against a parked bus

Then he should be cheap!

He was very good last season and looked great in World Cup as well when he played. Ronaldo sucks all the oxygen out of an attack I find it hard to be overly critical of a player who can’t find a way to make it work with him. He’s likely available, knows this system, and fits in with our Brazilian contingent. Don’t know if he’d accept a rotation role but he catches my eye when I see him play. No doubt some risk there
