He doesn't look anything like Chong imo and is further along in hia development and, most likely, just more talented.
They're very different players. One is a 10, the other is a winger.
That formation is realistically the only one that can get Felix centrally and Pogba in a midfield 3.
Seems a real talent, he’s quite slight though and the physicality of the prem would be quite a tough proposition for him but sometimes the skills, agility and the application of players is enough, look at Ronaldo when he first arrived.
He doesn't play RW from what people are saying though. Looks like CAM (Lingard and Mata's best positions but how often do we play that setup?). I'm wondering if he could play CM next to Pogba, although it might be too attacking. We shouldn't fall into the trap of buying and shoehorning again though.
We don't have enough quality depth. Sanchez and Mata need replacing. I do agree the midfield needs more urgent work though
Maybe, I'd like to see some of the young players get game time than buy others that may limit that. I think Ole will think the same....
Id like to see Gomes and Chong be part of the squad if they are ready. I think though we also need to add some quality and get rid of dead weight we are currently carrying.
Yes, Kaka is exactly the right comparison imo too! At least when looking at those videos.
We do not have good enough attacking options at all.
I think it depends from person to person. You've got Fred whose got the same built and physique as a David Silva and Bernardo Silva and seems to be struggling to keep up with the pace. I feel Felix has that in his game to get stuck in and to ride tackles. He could bulk up at United as Ronaldo had done as well as Rashford has done in the past couple years. Felix has what it takes to become the next big thing.
Season started 14 games ago....
Have you seen these two players play? One is a lot better than the other
Managers, too.
No, not surely at all. He's not better than either of them. He's a 19 year old that shows promise of being and upgrade but he would neither surely be an upgrade immediately or possibly be an upgrade because there are more factors than talent that determine how good a player will be for a club. You buy him because you believe he could be the best player you could get in that position or one of best player assuming you already have someone else at the club that competes or you get more players. Nothing in football is certain. Even signing a world class player can fail.
Fair enough. To be honest I’m not the best at judging a players ability or sussing out whether they’ll make it here or anywhere else to be honest and I’ve never heard of half these kids that pop up in these forums, I don’t know where people get the time to watch the Bundesliga or whatever, I catch the odd YouTube vid on here but they’re never the best thing to gauge a young players potential.
Dybala could be off any day now, KDB is a sick note and the bald Silva is getting older.
How so?
Probably meaning that as soon as we get involved the price will go up.
I don't think Dybala is going anywhere, but Im not a Serie A junkie so I could be wrong. Not sure who would buy him to be honest. Juventus have just bought Ramsey who will operate in advanced areas too.
It wouldn't look too good on Pep if he spends a ridiculous amount for another young player yet Foden is just getting games in Carabao Cup matches, off the bench or games against cannon fodder. Yet he is supposed to be the next best thing.
Exactly. Foden is meant to be a serious talent and he looks more than ready every time I've seen him. Would be bizzare if they buy talent ahead of him.
When Lingard and Mata play their average position ends up either directly in line with the right side of the center circle, or just a couple of yards further towards the right flank.
