KaKa Posted Wednesday at 09:17 Share Posted Wednesday at 09:17 I know Gonzalez is rated and his numbers and all that look great, but stylistically what sort of player is he? Has he got that creative element people want from the right winger? Haven't really seen much of Fiorentina the last few years. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Prophet Posted Wednesday at 09:20 Share Posted Wednesday at 09:20 Think Gonzales would be an odd fit for us. In my limited viewings, he loves to cut inside and have a crack, but he isn't the most creative and doesn't seem to graft like our lot do. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know very little about him but liked this quote: “González has earned his nickname of el Bicho: he's an outrageously quick attacker, capable of stop-starting past defenders like a waterbug. His long speed and his quick-twitch movements are really impressive.” Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bunk Moreland Posted Wednesday at 09:27 Share Posted Wednesday at 09:27 So seems like the origin of the Gonzalez story is La Nazione, which is the big local paper in Florence. Usually a good omen. First to report Isak deal out of nowhere was a local paper in San Sebastian iirc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having said that we don’t need 11 grafters. If a player is good enough and offers something different of high quality then it might even be good for us to offer some variety and balance. A more creative RW would be my pick. A player that gives us another dimension and variety is what I want, even if at the cost of missing out on a bit of “graft”. Not that I want a super lazy player with poor attitude. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bunk Moreland Posted Wednesday at 09:36 Share Posted Wednesday at 09:36 Brentford tried to buy him for €42/43m last summer according to Romano. Guessing we're going to be paying a chunk more than that as Fiorentina rejected it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponsaelius Posted Wednesday at 09:37 Share Posted Wednesday at 09:37 I think Fiorentina accepted the offer last year. It was Gonzalez who didn't want to go to Brentford. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sergio Posted Wednesday at 09:42 Share Posted Wednesday at 09:42 Nico is an exciting, technical winger who always gets/creates chances with his movement, but his finishing often isn't great. Came on in the Copa America final and caused Colombia all kinds of problems, just couldn't convert any. Interesting link. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
soyt Posted Wednesday at 09:44 Share Posted Wednesday at 09:44 Goalscoring right winger who can also stunt as a striker. What i can gather he also is a hard worker. So, yes please. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much more technically gifted than Almiron and quite similar in always wanting to cut inside (but does have a right foot and can/does go down the right). His work rate isn't as high as Almiron's but that's probably because there's few players out there who put a shift in like Miggy. Has a sweet strike on him and takes penalties too.

Ikon Posted Wednesday at 09:47 Share Posted Wednesday at 09:47 (edited) I like the look of him even if not a creative/playmaking type. Looks a live wire. Seems to score some good headers too.

It’s funny, just generally not saying your right or wrong, but I’ve never seen this guy play, I’ve seen you say he doesn’t graft like our lot do, and I saw a tweet saying he works his tits off Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteV Posted Wednesday at 09:51 Share Posted Wednesday at 09:51 Before we sign him can we just check he’s not sat behind Enzo Fernandes on that bus video giving it big racism licks. Could do without him getting a 10 month ban by September. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joey47 Posted Wednesday at 09:52 Share Posted Wednesday at 09:52 So it seems like last summer, Brentford bid around €35M then upped it to €40M+ and Fiorentina rejected both and then gave González a new contract Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
