Thank fuck. On huge wages and has badly lost his way at City, we need players on way up in career not down
What else do I want?
World class players, I want us to sign some of those instead of selling them all the time.
I want us to really try and win the PL and shop in the same shelf as Woolwich and Liverpool.
I don't think so somehow
What an irony that a poster with name of Defoe talking bad about a striker being diminutive
He is 1.75m not as bad as some of the best strikers in PL in terms of height.
His ball striking is actually very good - No clue where you got that from
When I watch the video you post, thing that stands out is his linkup play and movement to get into the space and good ball striking. And now, I look at the Fbref, its essentially the same, passing is his strongest point so are his progressive carries. Something both Solanke & Richarlison lack. Goals & assits - ofcourse he has that plenty for his age and experience and time on pitch
Since when has Brennan Johnson been a left winger?
What a load of absolute nonsense lol
Someone left a copy of Das Kapital in his lockerSince when has Brennan Johnson been a left winger?
“Unknown 19-year-old” most likely.
Power-up to “Unknown 23-year-old…”
Not when they're actively looking to replace him, and Vic is their preferred choice. All that's really saying is that they rate Vic higher, so he should be the more expensive, particularly as we aren't actively looking to sell.
Generally I agree. But a Grealish with a point to prove for a season chi be a weapon
Jermain Defoe was a lot quicker and his ball striking has a good argument for top 5 all time in Premier League history (him, Aguero, Kane are my top 3)What an irony that a poster with name of Defoe talking bad about a striker being diminutive

Please stop. This is not another Jermain Defoe. From what I can tell this player’s best trait is his hold up play and how the fuck will he use that at 5’8”?
Just think he might get eaten alive by PL defenders. No real physical superpower to lean on in tough times. Mind you I thought Evanilson looked similarly small and not that super pacey, and he did well last year.
Yea could be that way but it's a hell of a gamble. City rarely make mistakes getting rid of players (Alvarez being the exception but he wanted more game time so they could do little about it) so I would steer clear. It'd be a very expensive deal even for a loan. When we don't have a huge amount of cash we can't afford to take gambles that big imo
Defoe had Crouchy or Kanoute to do his hold up play for him. When football moved to one up front he found it much harder. Although he did adapt eventually and was pretty good as a lone striker for AVB. But there is a reason all teams want a physical hold up man these days.What an irony that a poster with name of Defoe talking bad about a striker being diminutive

Aguero was like an inch shorter than Kalimuendo as well and dealt well with the prem. Wissa is the same height as Kalimuendo as well.
In the right system a smaller striker can operate quite well.
