very good signing, needs more stability though. Vs PSG he was one of the worst on the pitch. Better runners in our midfield from the start of the season and he would already have double digit assists in the league.
He was horrible indeed against PSG, but it’s okay. We accepted years of horrible games of any player.

Absolutely fantastic to see this guy have more composure in the defining moments of the game. So far this has been exactly why I have not been a tremendous fan of his, but if he can improve that part of his game he is a really good player.

You see when midfielders arrive in the box, he finds them...

Rabiot then Fagioli. For a winger to find CMs on the GROUND in perfect shooting position, it's very useful.

I have him, and most sites too, on 6 assists so far - 5 in serie A and 1 in CL. And we played 20 matches (14 in serie A and 6 in CL).
I doubt he will break Cuad's record, mostly because I expect Chiesa to get more minutes in the second part of the season, and some of those minutes will be at Kostic's expense.
Cuadrado had 8 assists in the opening 20 matches in 2020/21, so Kostic is still behind. And don't forget Cuads had Ronaldo, who scored 36 goals that season. This year we don't have a striker of such caliber.

yes thank you for the reply. site listing him for 7 assists is counting his assist for frankfurt in the cup match

Hopefully management can find more cost efficient talented players like him this summer. I see only at net 2.5m a year presently through 2026. You save 34m net this summer by Sandro, Rabiot, Paredes, ADM, Cuads, and Ramsey off the books. Loca of course needs to be resigned and possibly Kean?

IMO Max needs to stop with asking/demanding stars (until they play for you) at every position. Right now you have arguably the best serie players at their position in Dusan, PP, Bremer and Chiesa. Find other parts like Kostic and earn your 9m a year.

I don’t think I’ve ever quite seen a player like him. Instead of using his feet (jukes, speed, dribbling) to get by defenders he uses his body. It’s like a basketball player boxing out but he does it while moving….idk how to even explain it.
