We are being linked with Hirving Lozano from PSV - Anyone who watched him can share if he is any good?
Good potential, esp as it is his first season in Europe, but it is indeed a Micky Mouse league, I bet on Eredivisie/Eerste/Tweede a lot and watch games and highlights when I got the time. In last several months I am wildly impressed by Kluivert`s kid, he`s only 18 but seems to me he is improving with every single game. In Ajax`s last three games he was twice voted MOTM, has around 10 goals and 5 assists so far(just checked - its 8 goals/5 assists in Eredivisie), can play on both sides, he`s fast, has some tricks, decent/good passing, he shoots well... I would pay close attention to his developement and progress, its way too early for him to leave Ajax, but in a couple of years, if he continues like that...

Ziyech is also a very good player, and is good friends with Benatia from what I`ve read... Also Alireza from AZ Alkmaar is having a good season, I`ve seen him play on both wings, but he prefers on the right (We should target someone, who prefers the left wing and be adequate on the right though)...

All those are very good players for a not that good league, but its hard to tell who`s gonna be a Ronaldo/Van Nistelrooy/etc and who a Mateja Kezman for example...

Ziyech is not good.. At Ajax he loses the ball around 40 times a match.. Seriously look it up its ridiculous.. Their fans don't want him anymore they whistle at him..

Neither Can or Fabinho will be the answer for our lack of creativity in midfield. They are both defensive midfielders.

We need a player like Modric or Iniesta.
Every team on the fucking planet needs a player like Modric or Iniesta. The problem is you are going to have to be extremely fortunate to find such an undiscovered player before someone else does. Unfortunately if you want a player similar to those 2 then your most likely avenue is breaking the bank.

We need a creative midfielder like Modric or Iniesta. We don’t have to break the bank for one as good as them, we just need someone who can do the job of connecting defense with attack.

Options within our budget:

Pablo Fornals
Dani Ceballos
Nicolo Barella

If we are willing to break the bank:

SMS
Isco
Kovacic

NO NO NO.

Back to the drawing board Nedved69. These players did not appease me.

Season over so now this will be the most important thread for rest of the year @Mark. Let's get started.

But Can isn't postponing. He has made it clear he'll wait 'til the season is over. Which is understandable unless you have underdeveloped frontal lobe.

[Not directed at you] But it's painful to see the level of butthurt soem people portray in this Can matter; immaturity, entitlement, revisionism, antipathy/lack of empathy and so on.

"We" laugh so much towards other fan groups without realising how often we look stupid and ridiculous. Cognitive dissonance per se.
Which is -per definition- postponing. We must simply look further than Can... We won't get him.

And we're desperate for 2 midfielders, desperate.

We honestly need to stop spending money on average players and start to spend big.
We don't have a world class player in every position and that is the difference between us and the real madrid/barcas.
