Say all you like but we sure can use his physical presence in midfield. Too bad he's just not much of a great passer or b2b runner

Didnt you hear? Paratici went to England to see him against Everton.
Yes I did. We also watching him a month ago and bid on him but to no avail. Same thing will happen unless Sevilla suddenly are willing to lower their demands.


OR we will simply meet the demand because we are selling the trash we have now.

I think we can reach agreement as indeed we manage to sell Lemina and Rincon potentially.

Let's hope we sell both, Asa, and Licht...that's at least 40m right there.
I'd love to see Dybala back as an SS. CAM is a tougher position to play for a guy who is so one-footed.

4-3-1-2... Bernadeschi as a CAM behind Higuain-Dybala.

Can easily be switched to 4-3-3 or 4-2-3-1 with a single sub.
I miss the 3 man midfield. Will never forget how sexy this team was with the 433 in Conte's first year.

We can easily play a 4312 if this guy comes.

Hell, we can play 433 with DC-Higuain-Bernie up top. The tactical advantage we have is great, however, we don't see to be playing well in the one we have been playing for a year now :D

Actually he is the best passer in all the players we linked with.

Sounds like a french Sturaro then. :lol:
Complete and utter opposite, takes a SINGLE game to see he is a fantastic technical midfielder and passer.


Yet while it is true that he covers the whole pitch, striding through Freddie Kanouté-style to score, as he did against Atlético Madrid, or dropping deep to protect the defence, that is not it; that is not why they want him. When N’Zonzi is seen between the centre-backs it is usually the start of a move, not the end of one; his game is construction, not destruction. His body deceives, insists Sevilla’s sporting director, Ramón “Monchi” Rodríguez. Now at last everyone sees it.

“Steven’s a player who has to continually fight against his appearance,” Monchi says. “His profile’s that of an eminently physical player, fight and strength, when although it’s true he has those qualities his principle characteristic is his use of the ball and technical quality. That’s why we signed him and where he makes the difference.” No one in Spain has completed more passes; in Europe only Marco Verratti, Thiago Alcantara, Julian Weigl, and David Alaba have.



“I know myself better than anyone and it was harder to adapt to a team coached by Allardyce or Pulis, because my game when I grew up in France was not a physical game. I was skinny, I was not a player who would tackle and stuff like this, so I had to improve and work a lot. Everyone has always seen me in that type of team and they think because I’m tall it was more my kind of play. But I think I was always more of a passing player,” he says.
