I would prefer Moura. He addresses an area where we needed strengthening.
Bale is a far superior player, but he'd also cost a lot more, would demand considerably higher wages, is a lot more injury prone, is older and is also simply not available this month. If we were signing a player to be a first team regular, I'd take Bale as I'd prefer better quality regardless, but I don't think Moura would be signed to be the long term first team solution.
I don't have a crystal ball. But having watched him over the years he's always seemed like a pretty stupid player. Plays with his head down, poor choice and execution of crosses and passes. Just a pace merchant and not that much else. Hopefully I'm wrong
Playing mostly on the left/centre. We'd need to see footage of him on the right, really.
Solid points.
Moura, without a doubt.
I hope we never bail out Madrid on the heir mistake. Let Bale earn £600k a week from the bench, that’s gotta hurt Madrid and keep them away from other players.
Moura 10/10 times. Bale is in his late twenties, injury prone and will be pretty much useless once his pace is gone.
Moura
Someone should post the video of him against Arsenal. Hes playing on the right wing and it's more recent as it was only last season. I believe that Chelsea match was a couple seasons ago.
Cavani plays like that nearly every game, but he also scores a goal or two every game so I guess that makes up for it
Well if that's true, it looks encouraging.Cavani plays like that nearly every game, but he also scores a goal or two every game so I guess that makes up for it
When you play for PSG you don't have many open spaces because pretty much every team parks the bus against them. The difference is PSG (up until this season) would never really play counter attacking football, but would have a very slow build up from the defence. Even though teams may park the bus against us we do get a lot of chances to hit teams on the counter, because thats just how the rapid style of the PL is, so he would have a lot more chances to use his pace against teams. But in the big matches against the likes of Man City, Arsenal and so on when we take on a defencive approach and always look to hit them on the counter attack, this is where I think he would thrive the most for us. Lucas was a big game player at PSG, in my opinion he always played well against the big teams in the Champions League or in the derby or against Monaco, I think he could be a big help for us in those caliber of games.
He used to be lightening quick ... where did the speed go ?
Is he usually one of the substitutes? Do you know?
Fixed
He's only been on the bench twice since the start of December. Three times if you go back to his last start on November 4th.
No.
To be fair, that is a reasonable argument for buying him. Good post. I think Mourinho has been wanting a similar player for a long time (Wanted Willian too)
I thought he plays in the cup games? Think Emery will say anything afterwards?
Didn't play in the Coupe de France against Rennes on Monday.
The club doesn't want Lucas to be injured during a game in order to sell him. He won't play for Paris before February IMO
Has to be the worst highlights video I've ever seen. Putting the cinematic aspect ratio bars in meaning half the time you can't actually see him.
Unfortunately that's the only video I found for him in this match.
Thanks. That looks better.
You've used Lucas for nearly 5 years and decided to offload worn players to us cos he's so old and not sexy enough for you? I'd prefer a new, young, handsome and fresh player, there's a chance we can get Mbappe from you?
Too true.from the highlights you have watched, do you think he is a player who likes to attack the space?
