Agreed.
Article was from 1st August, we already knew they were keen. It says something when Ajax are interested in one of your attacking players, they have to be technically gifted. This guy hasn’t had it easy, being asked to do a more defensive role under Mourinho. He has a bit more attacking freedom in Nunos system and he’s looked threatening in pre season. He could kick in from here, certainly wouldn’t be looking to get rid….
They want him, they need to sell to buy.
I suspect if we found a RW option (Gil getting #11 says something to me), we might see it as a trade worth doing.

Trade? Don't watch them enough but their youth recruitment and development section is world class...

He needs to get his mojo back in front goal, if he does that, he will be quite a player for us.
Hopefully the year of being a workhorse/defender vs. attacker doesn't screw him up for too long.
All talk from the club seems he is killing it in training.

Great athlete ………………….
Bit of an odd statement
- Huge gap in his composure/finishing right now (but we have seen him score good goals previously)
You add finishing/goals to his game and he's an amazing player
He has pace, he takes on his man, good on the transition, work rate and application.
As I said to start, without the finishing part, it minimizes his effectiveness (see Traore for perfect example), but to say he has no standout qualities is a bit OTT
Finney Is Back
Luka Modric
Pace, tenacity, work rate, diligence in playing for the team, movement, ability to find space.
Personally I don’t think he’s super quick, and he isn’t great at beating his man. (Compare him to Moura for example, or indeed Traore).
Fair enough re his work rate - agree that stands out.
quick enough, went through City pretty often yesterday

Paul Stalteri
He has a good burst of acceleration that takes away from ppl. Like you say he's not the best dribbler but he's not awful, he's also quite strong. If he can get his shooting boots on then maybe he can be a very valuable option long term.

Thought he did pretty well yesterday but he's got to take his chances and be more clinical. He missed big chances in big games last season and missed a great chance yesterday. If he can't improve that aspect of his game, he'll soon be out of the side.

Also in combination play, quicker passes, which is good because that isn't a strong point for Son or Moura.
Think he will be able do get decent numbers for both goals and assists if he finds firm, has a lot about him imo. If he becomes top class, automatic starter for a CL club only time will tell.
Can play either side too, fairly two footed.
Not too bothered by the miss yesterday. Partly because we won. Partly because it wasn't THAT easy a chance, everyone misses those at time. Partly also that I liked both his decision to let it run to his left and his choice of finish, just got the execution ever so slightly wrong, that happens to the best of them.

Lacks composure, and I thought the front three got in each other way a little yesterday.
Once they are more familiar of the system i"m that will change.

Me either, people are making those 'he runs around a lot' arguments for him. This is insufficient justification to hold a place in the starting11.
did you watch the game yesterday?
Bergwijn and Lucas (players people love to brick on, not good enough, etc.) tore City apart on the transition over and over and over (and Pep and a £900M squad couldn't adjust)
Would I play him every week? = not sure, but clearly he can justify his place if we are countering on transitions.
