You can't deny at his height it's going to take some adjustment to England.

Fernando Llorente was just saying how he went from bullying defenders in Spain to getting bullied in England.

Dont think Llorente case is a good one. He is a physical player and it worked in Spain. He tried to bring the same here but it didn't work like that for obvious reasons. 5'7 players dont come to PL to bully players. They have 10 other attributes they are all about. That is a problem for PL defenders. They want players to play physical against them, knowing its gonna be easier. But play short, tricky, pacy players and they struggle more. Thats why Modric and Kante (most talked short players) ame and impressed.
Bigger problem then buying 5'7ish tricky player is buying 6'4 guy who is not strong enough

Yh at the end of the day its about how you use your attributes. If you're tall and slow and dont make use of your strenght ur nothing.
Similarly, small players like Cazorla who have 0 strength can use their insane balance and agility.
Also, Llorente is a striker, thats a whole another world on the pitch, having battles with defenders, imo central midfielders these days do that much less than strikers will have to. Especially for Seri's probable role in the squad as a B2B rather than anchorman
Thats why Giroud isnt that proficient. Hes a lampost but he doesnt really scare defenders or chuck his weight around, he just cries like a 5'8 tricky winger would when he gets tackled

Have to say I like the look of him. Short but stocky, has passing range and vision. Looks mobile and good on the ball. Need to see his defensive stats. Looks like a controlling midfielder to me. Could play the Santi role comfortably.

 

[cannonade]

Yes, please. Looks like a real possible Cazorla replacement. Better than anyone else we currently have in that spot. Would team nicely with Iwobi, and Ox. If Alexis and Özil hang around they'd look good with him too. Now as for that striker....

 

[Dokaka]

That highlight video was quite underwhelming. Haven't seen him play so I can only go off that, but the time and space he's allowed on the ball doesn't exist in the Prem. 90% of the stuff in that video could easily be done by Xhaka. His dribbling looks erratic as **** and his touch is quite heavy for a guy of his size.

Looking at his stats he doesn't seem like a consistent dribbler either. His passing seems quite decent but you already have Xhaka capable of spraying passes from deep.

I don't see the Cazorla comparison at all tbh. Seem's like people are making a somewhat lazy "small = Cazorla replacement" comparison when he doesn't have anywhere near the touch or dribbling Cazorla does, which is his strongest asset.

Can't say I'm impressed, which is quite bad considering that was a highlight video. I'm not sure he has the dribbling ability to be an effective pairing next to Xhaka and he's certainly not a defensive minded player. I think he'd be yet another odd man out in your midfield tbh.

Agree about the time and space thing. Noticeable from the vids.

The best midfielder with Fabinho in Ligue 1 this season.

But I can't see how he can play with Xhaka :confused:

I think that he'll be great in la Liga or Dortmund

For Arsenal, Tolisso, Cyrien or Rabiot ( ) is a better choice if you want a midfielder from the french league (Fabinho will sign for City, Bakayoko for Chelsea and Verratti is too expensive )...

That's highly racist :confused:

 

[Naby keita]

We should go all in for Fabinho. He would be great here alongside xhaka.

 

[krackpot]

That's highly racist :confused:

yeah, I am a closet racist.

 

[Rimaal]

Nope.

Lordy. He's 4 cm shorter than I am.

What the f**** is that?

 

[carlito'sway]

He is most definitely heading to Barca. We can cross him out of our dreams.

 

[{reed}]

Is he THAT good?
I read Iniesta is considering leaving Barca.

[BobP]

He was made to look good by Favre.

 

[Tir Na Nog]

If he'd make an acceptable backup to Ramsey should he get his inevitable injury then I'd take him.

 

[Red London]

Would love him here. This is probably the level of player I hope for without Champions League football.

Would like to add a couple of well rounded CMs & ship off the likes of Xhaka, Ramsey, Elneney etc.

shipping off ramsey and xhaka? how about coq wilshere and elneny(as u mentioned) first.
