OhYesNdidi Posted 6 January 2021 Posted 6 January 2021 Why do people keep saying Ricardo will go for ‘big money’? After being injured for almost a year? 1
NewquayFox Posted 6 January 2021 Posted 6 January 2021 Not sure if he would command a place in our first team (how times have changed) this is a Wolves type of signing...
Lineker's Left Foot Posted 6 January 2021 Posted 6 January 2021 Always thought from a distance when he is playing he looks a dead ringer for Kevin De Bruyne but that is unfortunately where the comparisons end. I rate him though
Clever Fox Posted 6 January 2021 Posted 6 January 2021 I don't know him so can't comment. But it would look like a strange signing given that we're well covered in those areas and have real needs Elsewhere, like a Striker , Winger or Good midfielder. I think this could be a smokescreen to drive his price up.

I can't say I've ever been particularly wowed by him but he seems a tidy player and a versatile one at that which is handy, especially if we're to continue competing on multiple fronts. He wouldn’t be my first Ukrainian 👀 1 1

Schlupp was a striker for us and moulded in to a left back because he was very very crap as a striker. 5

Wolfox Posted 6 January 2021 Posted 6 January 2021 Whenever I’ve seen him he’s looked decent - was standout at the KP in league cup QF a while back Would have been a lot more excited if we were linked in the summer…

He was very very crap as a left back too. I don't think Zinchenko was switched because he wasn't good enough (although he would have been competing with the likes of David Silva for a spot in midfield so in a sense, he wasnt) but rather that all of their traditional LB's are made of Trifle and he needed cover. Worth noting though, Pep plays with inverted WB's so instead of bombing down the wings, they play more as CMs so the switch would have played to his strengths. 1
The People's Hero Posted 6 January 2021 Posted 6 January 2021 We've been here before; and possibly even been offered him before if memory serves. I suspect someone knows this and is rehashing that and coming to assumptions.
AjcW Posted 6 January 2021 Posted 6 January 2021 He was actually signed by Manchester City as an Attacking Right Midfielder who can cut in onto his left. I mean he hasn't played there for a while, but he really is a serious utility player. He'd ensure that we don't get ourselves in any injury messes for the rest of the season because he can cover about four positions. 1

Yes; I agree that. I was about to say I didn't think we'd be matching wages to Man City players; but then I remembered Nacho! 1

North Leeds Fox Posted 6 January 2021 Posted 6 January 2021 Personally would be happy with this one. He can play in a number of positions and is technically very good which I am sure would suit rodgers.
AKCJ Posted 6 January 2021 Posted 6 January 2021 8 hours ago, NasPb said: Isn't he also a winger? Or am k wrong Naturally a midfielder that Man City used at left back one time and realised he's good there too.
UHDrive Posted 6 January 2021 Posted 6 January 2021 Ever since man city sold us nacho I haven't trusted them at all. 1
wattolcfc Posted 6 January 2021 Posted 6 January 2021 If we're going for Man City utility players then I'd go for Gundogan, quality player IMO
