Yeah. Apparently, Barca considering him as Busquest's replacement, so that alone should speak for his quality.
If they're truly in for him, then we can forget about it & focus on others like:
Kone
Thuram
Amrabat
Isn't he more of a hardworking number 10?
Could we be planning to switch to some 4-2-2-2 / 4-3-3 hybrid:
Rashford - Hojlund
Mount - Fernandes
Casemiro - Caicedo
Shaw - Martinez - Varane - Dalot
Onana
Linked with so many centre backs. Our already tight defence gonna turn into the Great Wall at this rate.
Wonder if we are planning to shift Martinez into midfield or go with 3 at the back perhaps?
Martinez - Min Jae - Pavard
Disasi - Varane - Lindelof
Not happening of course, but that's...
No way he accepts playing at RB. He wants to play CB primarily I believe.
If we pull this off & KMJ as well, then it's serious that ETH wants at least 2 quality players for every position
A+ manager to achieve what he has with this squad, the Ronaldo drama & the protracted club sale.
Even if we get hammered by City, ETH still the best man for the job imo
