Goal Post Olympics Badass...you'd have a Gold medal.

Not being funny but you'll do just about anything to moan about Paratici. If we had signed Hakimi instead and not a midfielder because we didn't have the funds, you'd moan, if we signed Hakimi before a midfielder you'd moan.

We don't have some infinite pot of money, and whilst hakimi is a good player, he doesn't suit our system as well as he does for inter, so again people will moan at paratici for that.

Like I said in another post Sarri is adamant we have players in the u23 who are ready to make the step up now, one of them is supposedly Wesley, an explosive full back, I'd really like to see what he brings

Hakimi is going to inter ffs

We should be all over that

 

[Osman]

Rather have had Meunier tbh. us spending 40 mill on a RB who isn't really a RB would have been stupid

Bullshit, Hakimi is easily better.

You know this forum has gone downhill when Badass pretends to be the voice of reason

Pretend being the operative word, if it was genuine you can debate things. He is really not tho, he is just being a full time Tuz version of Baghdad Bob.

He's right though. If we spent that much on a RB and were left short of funds for a midfielder everyone would complain

Thats the bit he is right about, but pretending Meunier or Cuadrado is better is just pure damage control bs mechanics. If we right NOW were rumoured to be signing Hakimi, you would hear the absolute opposite from him. Hence why little of what he says is genuine.

The player is Muratore and we sold him to Atalanta.

Our fullbacks are really useless neither there is any offensive threat nor they are good defensively but again we are short of funds

Truth

Also true lol

Btw, that rumor just says hakimi will listen to what they have to say, far from near done deal. If inte* implodes and finishes fourth, even more of an unideal destination.

I think you've mis-understood me.

If you're talking about the individual yes Hakimi is better. I'm speaking about who would be better suited to our system, I'd go with Meunier who is better in the defensive phases. If we continued to play wingbacks then Hakimi yes and yes I'd probably be a bit more upset about losing out on him, but since we don't, I'm not.

Meunier is far from a reference defensive wise

Have to rely on plusvalenzas and human trafficking for FBs

Sarri did say there was more than one

Not being funny but you'll do just about anything to defend Paratici.

To a point it's a waste of time discussing certain transfers. He literally can do no wrong in your eyes. I'd be curious to hear if he's ever made a mistake so far.

 

[james95]

City started with sterling upfront instead of Jesus last night vs chelsea, what does that tell you?

Pep does those kind of things though, he's a sophomaniac. Jesus has been in good form recently and with an aged and injury prone Aguero as their only other real 9 besides a young Jesus; they'd be pretty mad to go despatch of him.

SNAP!

Still better defensively than Hakimi imo

Maybe it would help if you actually watch Meunier, he is an attacking RB who is very average defensively, and unlike Hakimi, we have a career of watching him play as RB, so know his limitations more there. Meunier is a physical and technically adept attacking RB. But guess what, Hakimi blows him out of the water in this sense. So it makes no sense to even compare them, other then one is free, and the other is more pricey because he is defenitely the hottest young commodity in his role in the game (with Davies, who is going nowhere).

average defensively or not he's still better in the defensive transition.
