Raphael Guerreiro

Considering how many games we have, plus 4-5 abroad if City win CL, he'd play loads. In addition, he's perfect in doing the pivot thing from the left. Pep would love him. Aké cannot be kept running into the ground and being injured. Rotation is key next season.Good player on a free. Don't think he'll play much here. But will be good squad player to have if injuries hit.

I’m sure we have a separate dept that works on transfer and we have a phone line and fax numberI hope we get him but we have such an important few weeks someone might beat us
I think Rodri operates the fax machine and he needs a break.I’m sure we have a separate dept that works on transfer and we have a phone line and fax number

Suspect on his defending just like Cancelo and will get a lot of flack because this reason if he joins us.

depends what they do with him, inverting on the left with Gvardiol or Ake behind him should cover alot of that, as a pure overlapping FB, prob only ion games we'll dominate anyway where pep lets them off the leash.Suspect on his defending just like Cancelo and will get a lot of flack because this reason if he joins us.

Well, it seems Pep found out it doesn't make much sense vs most opponents playing a traditional 4 at the back as it's a waste of 1 player and much better to have an additional player helping to break up deep sitting teams. (Vs top teams he still prefers a strong defence).Suspect on his defending just like Cancelo and will get a lot of flack because this reason if he joins us.
Guerreiro would offer a lot Pep likes. We also have to find Erling more is what Pep often says and Guerreiro is always looking for that pass.
For those interested here's a good background article and interview from 2021 about him as a person and player.
In German sadly, but you know where to get help to translate...

Often while reading I thought "typical Pep player".
Kind of the modern game though isn't it? Most top fullbacks are not great defendersSuspect on his defending just like Cancelo and will get a lot of flack because this reason if he joins us.
You get either or. Either you choose a player like Guerreiro or you get an Aké.Kind of the modern game though isn't it? Most top fullbacks are not great defenders
