I don't see it that way. The lad wears "Vini Jr" on the back of his shirt. It's apparently the name he prefers.Yes I know I meant why call him Vini which is a kind of affectionate Steve macmanamanaman name for him? It’s a bit like saying Trent or Rio for me, doesn’t feel right at all
If you’re wrong, you’ll just call the thread “boring now” and disappear from it like you always do.Well, lets just say i cant wait for the season to play out. Let's revisit this exchange in December.
Lol. You miss me that much? Aight, promise I'll visit tomorrow.If you’re wrong, you’ll just call the thread “boring now” and disappear from it like you always do.
Sorry. By who was he rated higher ? The only thing that kept Livramento back was the ACL injury. For many he was the future RB even with TAA and James out there.A mere 2 years ago, Lewis was more highly rated than Tino . There is a reason he has 5 international appearances to Tino's 1. Its because he was that highly rated. I'd give it to you that he doesn't touch Tino in athleticism. And Tino is supreme in the air. It really depends on the year you pick in the last 2. 2 years ago Lewis was rated higher, he and his team then had a bad season while Tino had a great season with his club (from an expectation standpoint). So Tino is now considered better on last season's performance. This does not make Lewis chopped liver. Nor does it mean he cant overtake Tino again. He very sure can.
They are both good prospects. Tino has more physical tools. Rico has more tactical and cerebral tools
I know you are one of those guys who doesn't rate Rico. he is not everyone's cup of tea. That's okay. But he is a damn fine Right back prospect. Just like Tino.
Hope he’s as good as the last one we bought from themSeen a link from a report at the Athletic that we have scouted the Espanyol right back

Rico is a good prospect but not as a RB. I'm not trying to be harsh but if he weren't a home grown lad from the academy he wouldn't get a sniff at the RB position at City. The question on Rico is can he develop into a Man City level mid fielder. Otherwise he'll need to move on. Not slagging him off. It's just the reality of the situation...A mere 2 years ago, Lewis was more highly rated than Tino . There is a reason he has 5 international appearances to Tino's 1.

Sanchez or El Hilali? Not super excited for either TBH but reading El Hilali can also spell at LBSeen a link from a report at the Athletic that we have scouted the Espanyol right back
Disagree on Nunes. He may turn out to be a better option at RB than Frimpong. We'll have to wait and see on that...as far as Arsenal goes IMO there aren't 3 other RBs in the world that start over Timber so saying Nunes wouldn't make it into Arsenal's line up is no great stain on Nunes...Nunes and Lewis are weaknesses. They don’t get anywhere near Liverpool Arsenal or Chelsea first 11. Maybe even their squads at RB. Neither actually is a RB god knows what Rico’s position is and Nunes is a bang average CM who our owner manager says can’t play midfield. To suggest they aren’t weaknesses is just daft.
As good as El Zabba?Name was something like El Halil ?

Calm down petal... It seems the truth & facts hurt huh?What a pile of recisionist horseshit.
Fucking hell and I thiught some of your posts were hald reasonable.
Miserable bastard!
There, stick That on your list of replies for next year's flap.
He’s a **** and a disrespectful one too, a horrible wankstain of a player at a wankstain of a clubI don't see it that way. The lad wears "Vini Jr" on the back of his shirt. It's apparently the name he prefers.
If we met and you said, "My name's Joseph. But please, call me Joe," I would call you "Joe" when we spoke. It would simply be calling you the name you prefer out of respect for your preference.
I don't see it being the same as saying "CR7" or "Fergie" (pfffftt).

Fair enoughI totally disagree with this. I for one wanted Tino at Southampton before the injury, and he’s pushed on and is only going to get better. Rico hasn’t looked anything close to being competent in that position which is exactly why the club and most of us supporters are open to a big money move for him. If Rico was the answer this thread and the clubs obvious interest would not exist. I know you love him, but Rico is not a viable option in that position if we want to compete at the top end again, to my mind he’s never shown anything close to what Tino has shown as a RB.
