Sead Kolašinac: The Assist Man's Bodyguard

[Batman]

Carlos was overrated

Cafu was twice the player

Carlos had that one freekick and it is etched into peoples minds

Cafu was better but Roberto Carlos was a monster. There is nothing Marcelo(whom I really enjoy watching) does that Roberto Carlos couldn't do equally as well whilst being stronger and faster. Maybe Marcelo is less hopeless in the air due to being taller. That's about it. Marcelo himself has said he's not as good as Roberto Carlos.

 

[krackpot]

Behave. Marcelo doesn't even think this.

clearly inferior hair on R. Carlos

 

[Aevi]

Monreal or AMN will need to step in with little preparation. At least one of them will get some minutes against Lazio.

 

[Ricardinho]

Feared it would be pretty serious

 

[OnlyOne]

We should push at getting a LB in but we won't. We needed one anyway.

 

[Ricardinho]

With Monreal coming back late this injury has robbed Saed of his chance to impress in the early competitive games. Probably won't get a look in now for a good while.

I missed roberto carlos when he retired. I never thought real Madrid was ever going to find a left back thats such a baller as him in one go. But they did in Marcelo i don't think another player on world football could have done this so fittingly. While being different abhors the same strenght and weakness.

Seriously though we should buy Kieran Tierney. Lay the groundwork early and get him next year. Would be criminal to miss out on him to a rival.

 

[Big Poppa]

If a Philip Lahm or Javier Zanetti type of player still existed we'd be in dreamland. Both full back positions and DM cover. There must be one out there surely.

His name's Alaba and he's under the control of the Galactic Empire.

He would be our best winger too lol

Alaba can play CB too.

 

[JimmyTheMac]

Alabas been horrendously poor for about 3 seasons now. Gone to the dogs. Shame cause he was an excellent player.

I havent seen much of Tierney but definitely agree we need to lay some groundwork with a future LB, if Kola is not going to be the man or is too injury prone then we need to make a move next summer, Monreal probably has this season left and thats it, the LB position is there for Kola to make his, if not we are 100% in the market for a new LB next summer.

Would anyone take a chance on Luke Shaw if we could get him cheap?

 

[Flying Okapis]

Would depend how cheap, his minutes since joining Utd have been poor, injury or not he presents a risk and the problem for us is we need a reliable LB.

If we were to sign Shaw we could still be looking for a LB the next year, plus if he fails or suffers a long term injury we would be stuck with him for a couple of years.

Obviously Utd are a big club with big players but I would prefer we stop gambling on their cast offs ie Welbeck, Silvestre not Mkhi as that was different circumstances.

 

[<<reed>>]

Would anyone take a chance on Luke Shaw if we could get him cheap?

no

 

[field442]

AMN will need to play for the first few games. I expect people like Torreira and Xhaka will be ready for the first game but Monreal hasn’t played since the end of the season so he’s probably going to need longer to get up to match fitness.

 

[Taylor Gang Gunners]

Would anyone take a chance on Luke Shaw if we could get him cheap?

Hell yes, and it’s an avenue we should explore IMO. Still a very talented player, people forget he had a horrible injury when he was finally finding his feet in Manchester.

Jose clearly doesn’t fancy him. He looks in good shape for once and surely we could get him cheaper than the 30 odd million Yanited paid. Would be a clever addition.

Starting Sead in 3 games within 6 days wasn't probably the wisest move on Emery's part.
