Raphael Guerreiro

[Sprayleej3]

Kind of the modern game though isn't it? Most top fullbacks are not great defenders

I honestly believe he could be being brought in as midfielder especially if we get Gvardiol and Lewis is integrated. Played there most of the year for dortmund and had the most assists in Germany. Great depth option if we do lose anybody from midfield in the summer.

Lb/double pivot, sure, why not. But, as with Kovacic, i dont think either is related to our current midfield. Guerreiro practically replaces Cancelo.

I hope we get him but we have such an important few weeks someone might beat us

Why? Is Txiki taking charge of training sessions now?

I mean more the fact that any business done these days becomes news immediately. I’m under the impression Tkixi is doing business behind the scenes but we won’t sign anything officially until our season is over. The players who are going already know, the world doesn’t have to until after their last games.

If he is bought to be a leftback, then he would have to invert to suit our playstyle.

That being said, I still don't want anymore inverting fullbacks like Cancelo or Lewis.

The CB pushing into midfield that Stones does was a masterstroke from Pep, as it gave him 5 Tall Defenders, like:

Rodri, Stones
Ake, Dias, Walker

That is very good at stopping counter attacks and winning aerial and ground duels, freeing up the 5 attackers ahead to have more freedom and "try things".

Back to Guerreiro, if he is bought, I'd use him more as the 8/10 role like Gundogan.

If Guerreiro is like a left footed Cancelo in that he’s great going forward but not great defensively it would still work well. One of the big issues with Cancelo is the fact that both Grealish and himself like to cut inside so occupied the same space.

If we get someone who can go outside Grealish it will give Grealish more space.

The biggest issue with cancelo is he’s a moody bastard who downs tools when the going gets tough!

Please try and bring him to the Etihad. Not only can he attack or defend but takes good set pieces too.

I would say £40 million
