Vinicius Junior

I agree with the comment about Pep making players work. He’d be incredible here there is no doubting that. It’s more who you would/wouldn’t play instead of would it work in my opinion.
 
hahahaha.....he's not leaving Madrid to come here.
 
He is so technically good he could adapt to any style of play so there would be no worry about that.

He would have to buy into Peps ethos regarding work rate off the ball

The only other question would be is he the right sort of character to fit the dressing room....we all know how important this is to Pep and the club...he needs to be humble as Pep has said many times - if he is then its a no brainer

however the real stumbling blocks would be his desire to leave madrid - this idea that Madrid/Barca are the pinacle of world football is the next thing we need to break (we have made a start on this already very recently!) but its going to take a while to get rid of the tired old line that the media drop in to all articles about players ultimately wanting to go to Barca/Madrid

the price (could we realistically pay what Madrid would ask)?

Im also sure Madrid wouldnt want to sell to us - the political pressure applied would be huge.

Love it to happen but cant see it

On the right. He's more than technically good enough and intelligent to be equally effective on either wing.

Yep. If you cat find room for him you cant for anybody. He would be amazing in this team another provider for Haaland. Kev wont be with us forever sadly.

Got to agree - he was a passenger last week because he simply doesn't do any work off the ball. That's ok for some teams who accommodate that from attacking players and make it work for them. In our system he'd stick out like a sore thumb

Another awesome player who can only play facing goal its as simple as that....
We all witnessed his work tracking back & attitude (moaned like fuck) to the officials, worldy like Naymar but selfish cnuts 100% imo

Exactly, I can't see him dribbling 40 yards backwards to keep possession like our Jack! (Tongue firmly in cheek)
 
I hate them as a club and their self absorbed entitled attitude but fair play, it looks like Real are serious here about wanting charges and for changes to be made, they're clearly looking to protect their marquee player and other player investments as well as future investments, even if people don't think they're doing it for the most noble of reasons their stance could drastically help improve things short/long term, don't think that Vinicius Jr. will actually be going anywhere and Real will do whatever it takes to give him their utmost support, they'll know if they can make a stance which will help him feel more comfortable and appreciative of them, it'll go a long way if he stays then it is what it is and hopefully it will help battle racism all around.

How Sterling continued to play for us and England is beyond me. People shouldn't have to put up with that shit.

Whether it's blatent racism or just cruel ignorant inhumanity it's still disgraceful.

England is far from whiter than white (though obviously way better than Spain). I can't understand for example how grown men shout abuse at opposition fans every single game and think that's normal behaviour, I can't understand how kids are allowed to make obscene gestures towards opposition fans and I can't understand the general lack of decency that exists in English football culture (at every club and at international level).

Obviously I love City through and through but there's a nastiness to football that I genuinely am embarrassed to be associated with. It's not as bad as outright racism but it's not far off it.

I'd hate for Vini Jr to feel like he had to move country. I also feel sorry for the club and for the respectful fans who are tarred by this infantile culture.

Its 100% self serving though, if this was madrid fans abusing a player they wouldn't do a thing

1st, don't ever feel sorry for Real. They are as nasty as any extreme fan with the abuse and pressure they inflict on the whole football world.
2nd, although I agree that fans can go overboard (and our league appears to have a decent grip on these minorities), the baiting and banter between fans is what makes going to a football match special. There are some that don't understand where the line is and they cross it, but mostly fans pisstake each other and long may it continue.
