Conte knows shit, we should get Kolarov :yao:
I didn't say that, if Conte wants him then fine. I only fap to Kolarov because he is a realistic target, I would take Coentrao/Marcelo etc over him anyday. I don't think Zuniga is an upgrade on Asamoah as an attacking LWB.

I wasn't referring to you, we posted on the same time.

But I think Zuniga will add another dimension to our attack with his speed, dribbling and shots from cutting inside.

he does have some talent....
Just looks like a more limited version of Asamoah in that vid. Personally for me, he is a more direct player. Less skill, more work ethic. I would still be inclined toward Kolarov, but since Zuniga plays both flanks, we may want this deal a bit more.

i wouldnt mind zuniga here...good option for left and right...easy for yall to call contreao or lulic in ur mouth but theyre far from realistic..and in any case the x>y arguments, the differences if any are marginal hence can be ignored.

what you mean limited tho? defensively? well i agree on defense but offensively on the wing asamoah doesnt offer more than zuniga.

Why is Lulic impossible though? I read some reports where Lazio are willing to make a straight swap between him and Matri. As for Zuniga, I think he is a limited player on the ball vis a vis Asamoah who seems to have a bit more skill. That said though, I think Zuniga is definitely more attack minded and would deliver more crosses and go for goal more than Asabob.

Zuniga is good. Every Napoli match I saw, he was consistently great. The only thing I can complain about is, if we were going to get him, why did we sign Peluso?

You don't see Zuniga at his best very often for Napoli because they play him on the left.

He's pretty good at taking on his man and crossing when played on the right, but you just see him turning back when he reaches the by-line when playing on the left.

Yep. He's pretty average on the left, but could be good on the right.

Problem is... our lwb problem will continue unsolved. And I don't think Kolarov would solve it either. He can cross. But is slow as fuck, careless, horrible defending, poor concentrating level...

Only Coentrao, for like 15M, could be targeted and handle that side decently.

This! I know we can't spend too much this summer but fapping to players like Zuniga or Kolarov is something I can't understand. Both are decent but overall nothing better than we already have.

Coentrao would be good but if we can't get him or someone on his level for lwb spot - we should stick to Asamoah and Peluso/DC as his replacement.
