Great striker, wasted at Utd and Chelsea in the past. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Size and shape IMO It misleads people in to falsely believing what kind of player he should be, especially in England where we love the big strong number 9, utd for example didn't have a clue how to play him That said he's developed really well too, never stopped, he's getting better still now at inter, years ago when we used to compare him to Benteke and say Benteke was stronger with better hold up play stuff like that, lukaku has continously improved it 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a time when Benteke was better… 60 international goals and only 4 penalties. Impressive whichever way you look at it. The camera quality for the very first goal makes it look like he scored in Italia '90. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zatman Posted July 3, 2021 Share Posted July 3, 2021 Chiellieni nearly hitting 40 but what an artistic defensive performance. Proper defending against one of the best strikers in the world 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobzy Posted July 3, 2021 Share Posted July 3, 2021 Lorenzo Insigne is probably not as recognised as he should be. Very much a "Naples man" which may well be why he hasn't moved elsewhere, but he's an absolute joy to watch. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post pas5898 Posted July 6, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted July 6, 2021 Bit random, But Dembele at Spurs for me, was one of the best all round midfielders I've seen for a few seasons. Strong , quick, never gave the ball away, great at pushing his team upfield. Equally adept at beating a man and tackling. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it’s these types of signings we need to be making moving forward, get them before they turn into 80-90m players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bit nuts to say about elite professional teams. I initially thought Grealish could be a similar player to Dembele, broke lines in the middle of the park, carried the ball, could never get it off him.

The decline in their midfield and defense from just 3 years ago has been stark. They've never replaced Dembele and Eriksen. They tried with Dembele with the Wish.com version N'Dombele, but safe to say he hasn't really set the league alight yet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

burchy Posted July 9, 2021 Share Posted July 9, 2021 As the transfer thread is a bit devoid of links at the moment I’m going to indulge in some wishful thinking. Players I’d like us to be looking at (granted some are not that realistic) Lucas Paqueta MF/AM Christopher Nkunku AM/WF Daichi Kamada AM Dani Olmo AM Federico Chiesa AM/WF Chukwunonso Madueke AM/WF Sekou Koita AM/ST Sergej Milinkovic-Savic MF Mahmoud Dahoud MF/DM Maxence Caqueret MF/DM Boubacar Kamara MF/DM Pape Mater Sarr MF/DM Amine Gouiri ST Donyell Malen ST Luis Muriel ST Emre Tezgel ST Victor Osimhen ST Lautaro Martinez ST Sven Botman DF Nathan Collins DF (although I think he’s just gone to Burnley) Kieran Tierney LB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted July 9, 2021 Share Posted July 9, 2021 Someone's been playing FM Not sure what happened with botman, was getting a lot of hype about a big summer move but then didn't make the Dutch euros squad Olmo I think the ship has sailed, a PL team should have got him before the leipzig move Would love kamara and giouri Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
