Rafael Leao

[Gutter Boy]

Leao's ceilling is way higher than Tel's. The player he reminds me off the most (purely in natural ability wise) is actually Ndombele.

In the way that the disinterest seems to come from it not being enough of a challenge. He can do everything, in the sense that if he had the application he'd be talked about as one of the best players in the world.

Having watched Milan for years, unfortunately like Ndombele he is someone who is capable of looking like the next Ballon d'Or winner and a pub player within 5 minutes of each other.

Sometimes those type of players need the right club and right manager and sometimes nothing can get them to kick on.

He wouldn't be first on my list, I'd look at N’Diaye. If it was a loan with no obligation however I'd swap him for Muani in a heartbeat.

Leao is 27. Tel is 21. Leao is at his peak and arguably declining (his Milan form has been going downhill for a couple of years). They are not really comparable.

Can’t say i have seen loads of him but what does he do that Tel doesn’t? Seems like a waste of money to me, he isn’t out of this world, he doesn’t even look really good.

I'm not Leao's biggest fan but is this a serious question? Wtf does Tel even do?

I’m confident that if Tel was in Milan playing regularly that he would have a similar impact. Tel is also 5 years younger.

Gonna have to let me know when Tel wins Seria A player of the season and puts up 20 goals and assists 4 years in a row.

So win the leagues player of the season award and put up double figure goals and assists multiple seasons in the bounce?

Yeah, Italy is a doddle.

Yeah, Italy is a doddle.

No chance. I like Tel as well.

So is germany and he looked nothing special there

The LWs we are connected to all seem flawed in one way or another

Maybe a loan for this guy is the best option and we can revisit next season?

We still don’t have that kind of pull.

Germany is a better league overall than Italy is.

Every player is flawed. You just need to put them in a system which works to their talents.

Take Messi for example. You wouldn’t play him in a high press.
