If I cared… I worked for a Finish company years ago and honesty was something I really enjoyed about the bosses, ask them any questions and you immediately got a straight to the point answer, nothing held back And if you wanted an opinion you got one Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sibierski Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 10 hours ago, Shearergol said: He won’t have a great deal of defending to do will he. Do any defenders look bad at Man City? It’s a different type of defending you need when at the big sides. Why you can often have someone who’s elite in defensive stats like blocks / headers / tackles, but put them in a top side they look like a donkey because the defending is more about positional play / awareness / front foot. Often needing to cover more of a distance and look to control the defending by possession. Guehi will be interesting, because I’m not fully convinced he’s the right mould for a top side (high line / front foot aggression). When he’s played for England it’s always felt he was bit of a weak link to get at. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TaylorJ_01 Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 1 hour ago, joeyt said: Dyche signing 6ft 7 in lump (and FM legend) Lorenzo Lucca How's he managing that? Based on below he's on loan with obligation to buy. Never seen a 9,000,000 loan fee before "On 18 July 2025, Lucca officially joined fellow Serie A club Napoli on loan for a fee of €9,000,000 with an obligation to buy for €26,000,000. Later that year, on 22 September, he netted his first goal in a 3–2 win over his former club Pisa." Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is where I’m playing FM rather than reality but I’d buy him for that and play two of Wolte, Wissa and Mateta every game whilst resting the third.
