Hardly breaking a sweat. Looks like the work rate concerns are not unfounded

Didn't see him track back once there, bin him off.

 

[DMA's]

So; has he signed yet, or what?

Won’t be until next week as he is away on international duty at the moment. But it is looking very likely

 

[Nevizade]

wow

I’m not one to get carried away but he might be the best player I’ve ever seen

 

[LongsightM13]

He reminds me of a more polished version of Adel Taarabt.

Reminds me more in playing style of that lad who I think played for an Italian club, did his ACL v us in a Champions League game. Was he Tunisian or Moroccan?

Algerian.
I'm presuming you mean Faouzi Ghoulam, the Algerian left back who played for Napoli, fine player.

That’s the lad, apologies for getting his nationality incorrect
He was a brilliant player and we were heavily linked until he did his ACL in a very innocuous action away vs City. No other player involved. Never really recovered to the same level iirc

That K. De Bruyne fells seems alright and keeps popping up near the top of the lists, worth a look at him?

 

[Moss Side's Finest]

wow

Lol. All those attempted assists and his teammates fluffed almost every single one.

Still playing in Turkey, but you're quite right, his fitness never recovered and nor did his career. The peculiar thing is that we lost Mendy in September to an innocuous challenge and then Napoli lost Ghoulam in November to the same. Two of the best left-backs in Europe went out of the game in the space of 5 weeks. Cruel.

Mendy was bigger and faster but Ghoulam was a much better footballer

Agreed.

Couple of good tunes but not a patch on the debut album.

One of the most naturally gifted footballers around. You'll occasionally get a player like Clichy who can play on the opposite flank to his stronger foot, but it's genuinely rare to find a player who is so adept with both feet and can play anywhere across the final third. His weight of pass, peripheral vision, and sense of space are uncanny.

If we sign him, I predict he'll work very well with Bobb, Marmoush, and Bernardo, but others, especially in attack, are really going to have to sharpen up. He'll be making passes and they'll still be standing wondering who that was meant for. Going to be interesting.
