Are Bayern actually thinking about letting Davies go or are these posts wishful thinking?  Have we been linked?

Fati is more of an inside forward than an inverted winger, and that’s the perfect match for a striker like Isak who drops deep and draws defenders with him. 
 

Inside forwards like to cut inside before receiving the ball, and they are more likely to receive the ball around the box. They are more of goal threats than inverted wingers. Inverted wingers are more likely to receive the ball near the touchline, and they cut inside after that in order to cross or pass. 
 

The likes of ASM, Raphinha, and Mahrez are inverted wingers, while Fati, Mbappe, Salah, and Rashford are inside forwards. Liverpool had the perfect setup a few years ago with Salah and Mane as the inside forwards and Firmino as the deep forward who created spaces for them and fed them nice passes. That trio was something else. 
 

Having said that, Fati has a terrible injury record :lol:

People complain about our development of players -- we really can't just shove Willock, Longstaff and Joelinton aside for the headline names - those 3 have been pivotal to our tactics and our league position.

I’d love a Croat in the team. Growing up, I loved watching the likes of Zvoni Boban, Boksic, Prosinecki, Jarni, Suker etc. Fingers crossed this lad wants to come to us! 

 

Didnt he have that weird transfer to Coventry and was then sold to Real a matter of days/weeks  later?

?

wiki says it was because Betis didn’t want to sell to Madrid, so Real made a deal with Coventry…?

 

“In the summer of 1998, Jarni initially moved to English side Coventry City, signing for £2.6 million from Real Betis. However, when Real Madrid decided they wanted the player, they successfully bought him from Coventry for £3.4 million with Jarni having made no appearances whatsoever. Some believe this was a joint Coventry City and Real Madrid tactic, as Betis refused to sell him to the Madrid club”

As our schedule becomes more congested when we qualify for Europe, all those players will get their minutes even if we bring in more players. At what point should a good performance prevent us from bringing in new players who potentially could improve us? Imagine if we hadn’t signed Isak or Botman because we were doing great in the second half of last season.

Just remembered Ansu Fati is on around £220k a week. So yeah ... no chance! 

 

If Barca want rid and the player wants to come to play football then there's no reason he wouldn't consider lower wages with performance related bonuses (goals/assists/appearances) and then everyone wins.

The problem is while those 3 have done well and can fill in for eachother when needed, no one can fill in for Bruno adequately. As things stand we’re pretty fucked if he gets injured.

This is where a Neves or Tielemans would come in handy.

David Edgar says Hi.

 

I mean now. Both nations are turning out great players. Be damned if NUFC Howe's one of theirs before he sorts out one of ours.

I have no idea where he will go, but hopefully he isnt sold too soon, they always fail when they leave Croatia too early. 

 

Mate ... stop with the excuses and get over to his with a Newcastle top and scarf and convince him to join. He won't fail under Eddie.

Like with Dembele, it’s the agent using our name to get interest

You bring those players in and they compete. If the players we have keep performing at a high level they stay in. If they drop off we have other options.

 

Competition is a good thing
