Ricardo Rodriguez

[Cheadle Blue]

I wasn't suggesting signing Alba, I was merely stating that there is more to him than getting forward and crossing the ball because he actually isn't that good at crossing the ball. I also think that Clichy although on a lesser scale is similar in style etc. I also believe he will have his best season to date in a City shirt under Pep. Clichy also has a pass completion average of 83% across his City career.

I hope so I really do, I'm just saying that left back has been a weakness for us for 20 years, and to be fair cliche is probably the best I've seen play for us. I'm just saying that an upgrade would be nice, and in my eyes, someone like Rodriguez would be. Pass stats stats arnt everything you know...just ask LVG ;-)

Left back is not a problem. Clichy and angelino more than good enough. Right back, depends if zab can get some form

 

[Jonsilfab]

He's a slightly better Kolarov. No thanks.

And Tasende, don't forget about him.

 

[Stretfordian_Blue]

Don't need him with Tasende, he's better than Clichy, Kolarov and Angelino.

I see shades of kolarov with him. I'd rather go into the season with Clichy/Angelino.

I know pass stats aren't everything but Clichy is reasonably quick and retained possession well, defends well and add Pep's formula to that and were on to a winner.

He doesn't defend well, but I trust Pep to sort that

I need to know this. Rank the four.

 

[BlueDeadHead]

Angelino is fast enough, good on the ball etc.

Yeah unless we are selling both Kolarov and Clichy this doesn't make much sense. We really don't have a left back problem imo. That kid is going to shine under Pep.

How do people rank Angelino higher than Kolarov. Serious question.

Workrate

In what games?

In what games?

Kolorovs total lack of and Angelinos by youthful default and the friendlies I've watched.

So no competitive games. A guess if you like.

Lets just call it an educated hunch.

yeh the same non competitive games where he looked twice the player that Kolarov did. Did you not watch?

That's not four mate, tasende and Angelino are the same person. It's a joke because he changed the name on the back of his shirt

I know. I wanted to know if he ranked tasende or Angelino higher. Oops. Bad joke.

** edit: Was kinda trying to ride the bust Dax's balls wave. We'll figure this American/Brit humor at some point.

****humour?

 

[ws01]

Lol I was about to say, isn't Tasende actually Angelino? Haha

I think we should give him a chance tbh. He has the skill, just needs to brush up defensively.
