Nico González - AM R/ SS - Fiorentina (10 Viewers)

[loyada]

Probably Fiorentina are more willing to cash on now, guessing he will be wasted as wingback or second striker in Palladino main tactical set up. Another market opportunity for Giuntoli?

His only skill is that he shoots a lot? Hardly. He's a good all-round winger. He can shoot, head, dribble, helps in defense, is fast. Not sure what else is expected of him?

Certainly better than Adeyemi and Galeno .

 

[Bianconero_Aus]

If we do sell Chiesa, I hope this deal goes through.

Good reliable player with pretty damn good numbers over the last few years. Argentina NT player with plenty of experience and only 26.

Better than the other trash we’ve been linked with (other than Sancho)

 

[Bianconero_Aus]

But he's a better pick than our curent links surely.

100%. Only Sancho would be a better signing out of the other names on the wing we’ve been linked with.

For a moment I thought that this was Nico Williams of Spain

The only hypothetical chance for him seats in FM 2024 Or FC 24 depends what you play

 

[kronos]

Wait, we're hoping Mckennie will be happy to go to Viola when he rejected Aston Villa?

Probably.. Maybe Galeno since Im less familiar with him

Would you rather live in Florence or Birmingham being a millionaire?

 

[Robee]

his only real skill is that he shoots a lot. not bad if it translates to goals (and last season it kinda did, 16 goals is a lot for a relatively affordable winger, even with 3 penalties)

not a leap in quality by any means though. that applies for all of our signings, save for the lolzilian midfielder maybe. (koop and todibo would be much better than rugani/gatti and miretti, they aren't signed yet)

Who are you comparing to 'tho?

i'd suppose athletes would take the better team, not the better city, especially if the money was better too. and villa offered much more to mckennie compared to what fiorentina can reasonably afford. (unless the city was a sad, hopeless shithole - and i have no idea how birmingham looks. i visited firenze, it's beautiful indeed)

athletes have a 10-15 year long career then they can live wherever they want. and players in general tend to make their decisions along these lines too. otherwise not a lot of players would pick england over most mediterranean leagues. yes there are exceptions like soulé but the majority picks the better contract and team

 

[Bianconero81]

Mid AF, but if he's affordable and gets the job done, so be it.

We've always had our fair share of Pepes and Giacherrinis, and I think this guy is a better baller than both.

 

[Xperd]

He has 40 caps for Argentina

Had no idea he featured that regularly for them

Scores many goals with his head as well.

Nico Gonzalez and maybe Sancho on loan and suddenly our wide players look good as well.

I think there are a few examples of players chosing differently too; with or without their wives influencing the decision. Koopmeiners being another example. England is a shithole anyway and McKennie already had a bad stint there which may scare him off.

 

[Alen]

Same here. Possibly because he got injured before the World Cup and we didn't get to see him there.

Not completely convinced about him but i’d be more than fine if he’d arrive on top of another starting quality winger coming in, however unless Fiorentina is open to swap deals then at full cost he is basically the main winger we’ll invest in and not sure that is a smart move.

Also this doesn’t look too encouraging either, surprised is not being mentioned more like with other targets.

 

[Bjerknes]

Another underwhelming target with injury problems and free money to an Italian team we are supposed to despise. This is looking like Groundhog Day under Jungtoli.

Don't know about the price tag that Fiorentina is putting on him but he’s got a laundry list of injuries. Even if the majority are not serious. we have had horrible history of buying injury prones that makes us think more and not put a foot wrong again. If the management are sane enough they'd forget about him and go all in for Koop and another winger.

 

[DanielSz]

I’d rather have Galeno.

seems like I’ve said that a few times now. I don’t even know anything about him. Maybe it’s fate.

 

[Osman]

Its good to be wary of chronically injured players or ones who had career altering ones. But feels like you guys scrutinising every targets injury history too narrowly and dismiss players quickly due to it.


In today's football with alot of games played its fairly normal to have players who are injured 1-2 months per season, or smaller injuries now and then . You will search long and wide if you wanna find an injury free player lol



The Koopmeiners you say we should focus on, is just came back from 3 month injury. Does that disqualify him to?


We not doctors, we can look over frequency of injuries, but let's not pretend we know what effect small injuries per season had on a player and how they will perform due to it.

Gonzalez scored 16 goals last season, there we know already injury didn't stop him from producing that season. So his injuries 4 years ago in Stuttgart isn't relevant there.

Galeno is more a dribbler, and is faster so kinda more fun choice. Decent scoring too for Portuguese league.


But Gonzalez is proven in Serie A level as good scoring winger.


Btw we should target both out of necessity, because one is RW and one is LW.
