Won't even pay 5 dollars for an Italian winger
A world class Italian winger is almost an oxymoron

The RB's are so poor defensively they want someone who can track back. That's why Samu plays and so does Chiesa, so that is part of the appeal of him. Also Chiesa can play as a forward, so it covers another position as well.

But yeah Italian wingers/forwards

Cannot remember where I read it last week. But it said exactly this and that Mbrappe was pushing towards Madrid.

Man City don't have a lack of sharpness despite a lack of game time........

Must be nice having a competent coach.....

Why can't we get someone like Mahrez? Is that too much to ask for?

 

[Montez]

Something about De Bruyne I will never love.

A) He's too old for the outlay that would be required. B) Unless you have a decent to good RB, signing Mahrez is pointless. Already exposed on the left when Theo goes on his runs. C) it ain't FIFA/PES

He's a bloody ginger masquerading as a strawberry blonde.

Not him per say..but I understand what you're saying about our RBs not being fit to play with someone like that

Wolves bottling all these rare chances

Because of Ibra you need work rate attacking players. And as football in general now requires your wide players to track back more now than ever, unless they are god tier players. It is hard to find a Mahrez type who will put in a shift the other way. It's why Leao and Paqman don't get extended runs in the team. Ability wise they probably the 2 most talented players along with Theo and Bennacer. But work rate wise they are the poorest and it leaves too many holes when Ibra is on the pitch, unless you're chasing the game.
