Buried somewhere in the Welcome Sanchez thread is a post in which I pointed out in his interview he quite deliberately said he could "play anywhere, behind the striker, on the left, through the middle".
I think the aspect of our younger players and Tony/Marcus learning from a player like Cavani is invaluable.
City have two first team quality options for every forward position. It doesn't seem to do them much harm.
Or Rashford
Nobody on this forum actually knows that’s though. Regardless of Sancho we needs options up top and we can still land Sancho on deadline day, big transfers have gone through last minute in the past.
We always say this, but how often does this prove to be the case?
I think it had an effect. The class of 92 talked about Cantona, Rooney talked about Larson. How big an effect is the question? I think it’s often overstated.
Whilst I take your point, that kind of influence is not quantifiable.
We're turning the #7 into a huge joke
lowering standard.That whole saga broke our club, it broke us, the fans, and it put the final nail in Mourinho's coffin. The expectations were sky high, we were actually hoping to challenge for the league and it all came crashing down incredibly quick.
No. Neither particularly wants to play for us (at least Dembele doesn't seem to want to), both have had their problems with injuries recently and have seldom played over the last year, both would be on very high wages.
The way this thread has gone, there's probably somebody in here waiting at the end of Manchester Airport runway with a Stinger missile launcher.I'm getting bored with nothing happening... can we at least track his flight?
Then you can't say for sure whether him signing will prove beneficial to our younger strikers.
This has Falcao written all over it. It would be nice if he comes in and has the level that keeps Rashford and Martial away from the striker starting spot. That will need to really be at some level, but I will be surprised if this doesn't go the way of Falcao. Will be interesting to see though, a mate said "more CL capable bodies for CL this season" and it clicked as to what this signing means.
And some are seemingly still scared by it.That whole saga broke our club, it broke us, the fans, and it put the final nail in Mourinho's coffin. The expectations were sky high, we were actually hoping to challenge for the league and it all came crashing down incredibly quick.
I’m not saying they need to improve considerably to be effective just to pick up things from quality strikers will definitely not hurt.
I would add that Maguire will score 3x more headers with Cavani on the pitch (so should score 6?). That's a nice goal tally already!
I don't enjoy the Falcao comparison. Correct me if I'm wrong but Falcao had a far worse injury than Cavani to come over, and Falcao was brought in as our number 9 whereas Cavani is brought to add depth and help us with a plan B.
If martial can’t handle being dropped because there’s a player here playing better than him, that’s on him and his attitude, no one else. We can’t not sign players incase our existing players sulk if they’re dropped for them
You can, it's qualitative. The concept of role models is well-established - Have you not picked up important learning points from observation or interaction with those more experienced or learned than you?
- Both south Americans
I think we all know that the moan-at-all-costs Cafe hipsters won't be happy with that scenario for multiple reasons, but it would be a more than decent scenario for us.
Hahaha
I'd agree.
That's worse than the Torres one against us.
You shouldn't do. Its just lazy
I have no idea if he will be another massive ego. For sure, they would have made it clear what his role is in the team before they signed. Well we'll only find out later. For now, we can only hope for the best.
