@THISISNOTKNT This guy has been incredibly unlucky. Some outrageous saves & clearances off the line, hit the post a few times & some decent efforts coupled with a few poor misses. Heโs just turned 22 & all the signs are positive, parts need refining but that will come with consistent game time
A lot of the decisions would need to be based on opposition. My concern will always predominantly be lack of aerial ability particularly against teams that utilise set pieces or play long often.
That said they are all very good CB options & maybe they can improve those areas.
CB options by trait.
Pace: VDV, Danso
Aerial: Danso
Ball carrying: VDV, JPVH, Senesi
Ball playing: JPVH, Senesi
Front foot aggressive: JPVH, Senesi
Concern is lack of aerial ability.
Most balanced pairings:
VDV & JPVH
Senesi & Danso
Least balanced:
Senesi & JPVH
Letโs say VDV & JPVH is 1st choice pairing. If VDV got inj/susp, youโd think Senesi is the obvious replacement as left sided but would lack pace & aerial ability alongside JPVH. Danso not suited to left side but better pairing. Do you drop JPVH & pair Senesi & Danso?
@simonyemane@LeN17ah Yeah completely agree.
I donโt think there are any players out there that donโt come with weaknesses. Very rare to find a complete player especially given our position. Good coaching can definitely work on areas though. My biggest concern between JPVH & VDV is aerially.
@simonyemane@LeN17ah Of course but Iโd argue that having a brave goalkeeper that sweeps is more important with a high line.
That was a foundation though. VDV is significantly better than Dunk & Van Hecke is almost 26, coming into his prime. We will also be surrounding them with better players.
@simonyemane@LeN17ah Van Hecke and Dunk worked well for him before. Toby and Jan werenโt blessed with pace and they were our best CB pairing. Too much emphasis on pace imo. Pace bails you out if your positioning, anticipation and reading of the game isnโt the best.
@Kish_P14 Van Hecke plays alongside Dunk at Brighton and that has worked pretty well for them. Neither are blessed with pace. That was the pairing RDZ had at Brighton too.
@Kish_P14@itsjavedzk Iโve been saying this for ages. Gets hate because he missed a few high profile chances but his all round game is strong. Physical traits are exceptional. It would be great but it wonโt happen.
๐จ | EXCLUSIVE : NICO GONZรLEZ ๐ช๐ธ
Tottenham Hotspur have made enquiries to Man City regarding Nico Gonzalez during negotiations for Savinho! ๐ช๐ธ๐จโช๏ธ#THFC
The topic of Nico Gonzalez has been raised by Tottenham Hotspur during negotiations for Savinho in the last hours, as Spurs want to understand the availability and financial conditions for a deal for Nico. ๐ฃ๐ฅ
Roberto De Zerbi is a huge admirer of Nico Gonzalez, and would love to have him at Spurs if the opportunity arrives. Considers him as the perfect midfielder. ๐ช๐ธ๐
Nico Gonzalez would be open to leaving Manchester City for regular starter role. However, Manchester City's stands on Nico is NOT decided yet. Club will hold talks with Enzo Maresca and make final decision. ๐๐ฃ
Important situation also involving Rodri, as Manchester City will 100% push to retain Nico Gonzalez IF Rodri decided to leave, with important interest from Real Madrid. ๐ช๐ธโช๏ธ#RMCF
Nothing advanced or no official talks for Nico Gonzalez right now, between Spurs and City. Just enquiries. Situation to follow if it develops. โ๏ธโช๏ธ
@Kish_P14 It is a mess. Weโve got young talent that doesnโt have the platform to develop because theyโre expected to be stars due to the fact our exp players are mostly terrible. We sign the wrong profiles, our squad is bloated with injury prone, average players that all do similar things.
Lange shouldโve been gone months ago. The fact the season is over and heโs still here, with involvement in our future business is a shambles. We wonโt recover until heโs gone. The players heโs bringing forward are bang average footballers. Aim higher ffs!
@timinenfield Truth is the squad needed ripping apart. Lots of high potential young players that havenโt got the right environment to develop as things stand. We wonโt solve all issues this summer but we can reset the squad into a better place and move further up the league.
@timinenfield I think thatโs clear & this signing alongside an exp. one really boosts our MF.
Biss, Palhinha will go. I expect Sarr to move on. Meaning we need 2 maybe even 3 MF players in.
FWDs are a whole other subject. Itโs the weakest area of the squad by far. Letโs hope we sort that.
