    Eli Junior Kroupi

    I think what people are missing about him is, he's already a very good finisher. So many strikers in the current game have everything but finishing (speed, movement, able to beat man), we are building a very good midfield, we will want a striker to finish the chances I don't see it as a 90M...

    Eli Junior Kroupi

    For me, there is a part of we have seen the best of Kane, we will remember him for what he is/was, a generational elite striker. Do we really want to see his last years when the game starts to past him? Better he go to Barcelona, milk a couple more years out in a slower league, get a couple more...

    Transfer thread

    What's hilarious is realizing how the media treats the two clubs. If we had tried for Fernandes and Anderson and ended up with Santos and Tielemans, the knives would be out from both the media and our own fans. Instead, social media is flooded with how good a signing Tielemans is for them and...

    Djed Spence

    Highlighted bit I think is the consideration, if he wants more football. Interestingly I think he struggles in new environments (or has historically), if it's working here for him, he may not want to change it

    Transfer thread

    With @billyiddo here, Not that good. United is doing what we used to (we at least did it with young players) Zero chance he was on their list of top 5 targets, he has been bought because he was cheap and available.

    Not disagreeing but Haaland got penalized because he put both hands on the defenders back, one hand or shoulder lean with same force and he would likely have gotten away with it.

    Savinho

    The rumour has been City was waiting to make sure Doku got through WC without injury.

    Disagree (and we can do that), you are absolutely allowed to shield the ball, and the opponent cannot come through you from behind. If you can give penalties for "follow through" after clearing a ball, I really don't see how you can say someone going through you isn't a penalty because you...

    Eli Junior Kroupi

    don't disagree, just made the point that both Kroupi and Solanke are strikers that work by dropping for the ball. Richi is different, more chaos, battering ram, better in box. What we do will say what RDZ plans

    Eli Junior Kroupi

    Not saying it couldn't be done, think RDZ does like players that can provide more than one role. I'd expect his primary starting role to be #9, against low blocks or chasing a game, we could use options

    Next seasons squad

    4-2-3-1 is probably the default. I don't think your setup is that far off but I fully expect Winger (Savino) & CF (Kroupi) in. Kinsky/Dubravka Porro/Spence - JVH/Danso - VDV/Senesi - Udogie/Robertson Fernandes/Gray - Tonali/Bergvall Kudus/Kulu - Maddison/Gallagher - Tel/Moore Solanke/Richi...

    Rafael Leao

    Not sure Romano does anything but retweet brick from others at this point. If what he says is truth, we need to put a timeline on when we walk away from Savinho, player obviously is good with coming to us, fee will be less than last season but we can't let City just drag us along until late in...

    Pedro Porro

    Huge part of people's misconception with Porro is the failure to understand he follows orders. Under Frank both him and Kudus were clearly instructed to spam crosses regardless of if anyone was on the end of them

    Conor Gallagher

    You could even do this Kinsky Porro JPVH VDV Udogie Fernandes Tonali Deki Gallagher Maddison Kroupi The physicality, fluidity and running of that lineup would be crazy

    Roberto De Zerbi *OFFICIAL*

    Yep, I suspect (even if people don't like it), this is a two year plan - We will get at least one winger (Savino or Leao) and one CF (looks like Kroupi) - We play the season, RDZ learns a bit more, we find out re Maddison, Xavi, Odobert, Kudus, Deki, Udogie re their return and ability to stay...

    Eli Junior Kroupi

    If we pay 80M-ish, he comes in as our #9. We aren't paying that for a winger/utility role. The more interesting question is who stays between Richi & Solanke. Solanke is the more RDZ player but he's also someone that drops for the ball (role Kroupi will do), he does have the best hold up play...

    Roberto De Zerbi *OFFICIAL*

    My understanding is he has principles more than specific formations (even if default seems 4-2-3-1). Keys are, baiting the press, quick passing, sometimes short backward pass to get ball forward to a player facing right direction, aggressive press out of possession. I don't think we will play 3...

    Patson Daka

    People will always overreact, but I don't think the Kroupi comparison is fair. Daka hadn't played in the PL, and even after 3 season in the PL, he doesn't have the same amount of goals Kroupi has in one season in PL. Isak would have been a good signing, Vlahovic probably no worse than our...
