According to Opta data, Kyle Walker has faced 21 1v1’s in the Premier League this season, losing 18 of them, a 14% success rate, one of the worst in the entire league.
What stopped your club spending £14m on Julian Alvarez?
What stopped your club spending £15m on Manuel Akanji?
What stopped your club spending £20.8m on Ferran Torres (and selling him for £46.7m)?
What stopped your club spending £21m on Ilkay Gundogan?
What stopped your club spending £1.7m on Oleksandr Zinchenko (and selling him for £30m)?
Piss poor planning, that’s what.
Don’t blame City for your club’s mismanagement. No amount of alleged illicit FFP dealings could account for the above.
@ChrisWheatley Haaland, DeBruyne, Bernardo Silva, Akanji, Dias, Laporte, Gundogan, Nasri, Yaya Touré, Mangala, Cancello, Zincheko, Jesus, Rodri, Alvarez, Mahrez, Walker, Ederson, Grealish(100m btw), Fernando, Fernandinho, etc ... I can make 2 or 3 lists like that so admit it and move on
@yeuke_@IshmumMd@nonewthing 2/2 he becomes a very useful player. We need him. But I agree with the fact that if we get an identical player for less then sure we have to go for them as a priority
@yeuke_@IshmumMd@nonewthing Cancelo can play where Ben white is. We heard the news that Tomiyasu is not coming back until at least Christmas. It makes sense to me that we buy him. His quality on the ball is so underated. He can win games on his own you know. Add that to the fact that he can cover up 1/2
@IshmumMd@yeuke_@nonewthing But he covers a number of position and having him as an option is so great. He is 10x better than zini at everything he does. His age is the only thing that can be an issue for us
@yeuke_@nonewthing Cancelo can play as a CM. He holds the ball, pass it well, gets into great positions and has an area of tricks that can be useful. I think the only issue has to be his attitude because I don't understand how no one is keeping him
