Yup!!!Found this World Cup's James Rodrigues.
Sounds like comprehensive scouting. Do not want.Don't get too excited guys. Watched him twice in the Champions League and wasn't all that impressed. He didn't show any standout weaknesses nor strengths tbh. Only scored 1 in 6 games for Benfica who finished top of their CL group. Seemed a hard worker and team player at least.
Was already linked back in SeptemberLinking with United in 3 2 1...
Please bring the links. I'll take him this JanuaryLinking with United in 3 2 1...
Aha, that explains why he looks familiar somehow…He looks like a taller, tanned John mcginn.
proper striker though.
It’s always a valid claim to look at the competition in a World Cup. Many teams have low PL/high Championship level squads. Like somewhere on a scale from Watford to Fulham. I’ve always also followed AFC Wimbledon. They are not good this year, in League 2 (up until recently, think they are unbeaten in 7 now), but they had a guy in the World Cup, Chris Gunther for Wales.Lads, it's only Switzerland.
Yeap. The question is can he do it on a cold rainy night in Brentford?Lads, it's only Switzerland.
Yeah, I haven't seen enough of him to have a real take because he's not a physical marvel type you watch once and are wowed by the speed or power, but a 21 year old striker who has scored healthily at every level and is only lacking in top end pace is exactly what you'd think Ten Hag's system suits, since he seems to like his striker to play back to goal and link up in the build up.He can press and score so yeah I'm fine with him. Not gonna get too picky with the January addition just hope they get someone who fits the style of play. Ramos certainly does.
We just need enough pieces to get that final four finish and CL bid. Which means a striker bare minimum. Then hopefully big spending on key positions in the summer.
Thought I'd stumbled into the Ronaldo thread until I remembered Ronaldo has never had a good world cup.Guys, havent we learnt anything about players who excel at ONE world cup game ever before?
But isn't that the point?Guys, havent we learnt anything about players who excel at ONE world cup game ever before?
And he is 21, told old.Yeap. The question is can he do it on a cold rainy night in Brentford?
The Swiss looked all over the place in defense last night. I know some of the will be down to Portugal's movement but some of it is also down to an incoherent back line.It’s always a valid claim to look at the competition in a World Cup.

But Switzerland’s defense is definitely legit. Rodrigues-Schär-Akanji as a back 3. Xhaka in front of them. Portugal did a good job destroying them, but it did take some really good individual efforts.
