It’s his new schtick. You’ll get used to it

I'd only want Lodi if Howe is contemplating a back three. Don't trust Lodi in a back four at all. 

I'd rather a Brazilian who knows more about Lodi than I, didn't completely shit on my dreams

Lodi is decent, him and Trippier as wingbacks if we want to play three at the back is great. However, in a back four not so much.

Does he play in a back 4 for Atletico?

Yeah, I think he has played there or as a left-midfielder at times. Haven't watched them that much, but saw him score twice when he played as a left-midfielder a few months back and the times I've seen him as a left-back he hasn't been impressive tbh.

Not this shit now Flip. We like him. Ok. 

[Toon No9]

Talking about players and palindrome, Lodi is a spurious palindrome (idol backwards).

 I want him as well, I mean I want all the Brazilians, but I think Targett has done well as well tbh. Depends on how Howe wants us to play.

Flip spends a lifetime overrating every Brazilian on the forum and then we're about to sign one and this is the moment he chooses to take a balanced view

 Just covering my ass in case they turn out terrible.

Howe has turned Krafth into a decent defender. 

 

Lodi would be a great signing. 

[ToonScotman]

For the way we play Scamacca suits us perfectly pacey and a big focal point as a striker to hold it up too. Probably similar to Ekitike but it’s obviously what we are looking for. Good to see we are exploring other top leagues too to find talent.

[Kanj]

Lodi, Paqueta are the two I want signed more than anyone else at this point. @Flip   Paqueta is a distant first tho.

Watched the match - he was on a different level to anyone - I actually think he’s better than Bruno 

 

If he comes I think we’ll play a 4-2-3-1

 

If we sign a class DM - then 4-3-3 no probs

He is better than Bruno.

Would love us to play that system with Bruno alongside a good defensive midfielder. We could play Paqueta as the central attacking midfielder with 2 pacey wide men either side.

Whose the guy making the initial run through the middle? Couldn't see his face or number properly. He looks decent.

His work rate is very good - puts a shift in

 

But the natural talent he has is off the charts - thing with him he has the ability to use it to the benefit of the team 

 

Pure class this guy

Barely seen Lyon play this season, but Paqueta has taken that next step with the national team where he is now considered one of the most important players. Him and Raphinha have really shone lately with Neymar getting old and fat.

I think that was Aaoar -  came on 2nd half - think he was booed on - very good player who seems to in the bad books of the Lyon fans

The move to Lyon has been very good for him - he was with Milan at the wrong time - sometime a sidewards move is the better option - his confidence is back and should he make the move to us in the summer he’ll have no issues settling in with Bruno and Joe there with Lodi to come in most likely 

 

He’ll rip up the PL

I’m sure it is maxence caqueret (with the ball) who id love here too. Would certainly be a great start to our era by stealing Lyons 3 best players. Also wouldn’t mind Aouar if he’s fell out with the club.
