Good price for a brilliant player, gutted utd didn’t try to sign him
We can’t afford Wirtz but I’d have thought Cherki would have been the perfect fit for our system. But I think we’re targeting PL proven players as we can’t really afford to be starting if slowly and allowing players to adapt to a new league.Liverpool getting Wirtz
City, Cherki.
What a time
They’ve got away with it. Not heard anything about that for agesAnd what happens if City gets relegated? Enjoy the Championship!
Because Cherki doesn't have any work rate off the ball. Has no real pace or athleticism. Has pissed off teammates with his attitude. Technically very gifted but a mercurial talent who will either suffocate under Guardiola robotic football and demands or will be a hit.€35m with €6m is is an amazing deal for Cherki, who will be 22 at the start of the season.
Why would we pay double for Mbeumo, who is 4 years older, double the cost and who potentially has a lower ceiling than Cherki?
Seems were the more likely team to be there sadly.And what happens if City gets relegated? Enjoy the Championship!
They finished comfortably 3rd in the end last season and are far from getting relegated.And what happens if City gets relegated? Enjoy the Championship!
No example is perfect, DVDB was named on the Balon d’or. Similar age, similar fee, making a step up to a bigger club.that is a bad example. Have you seen both play? even if Cherki cant take the physicality of the league his technique is light years ahead of Donnies.
Also add the fact that City generally sell better than us anyway, they will sell him within a year if he doesn't work. VDB lasted 4 years at United, he didn't go on loan until his second year.
Pure copium.Because Cherki doesn't have any work rate off the ball. Has no real pace or athleticism. Has pissed off teammates with his attitude. Technically very gifted but a mercurial talent who will either suffocate under Guardiola robotic football and demands or will be a hit.
Regardless he isn't want we need this summer.
Because there is no proof yet that Cherki will adapt to the high intensity of the PL.
I noticed in our games vs Lyon he got caught on the ball a lot.
Granted he scored, but we were a shambles defensively.
He may do well for them, but we all thought Grealish would too.
Strange that we didn't seem interested. Suspect he will be a top quality player for them in the David and Bernardo Silva vein.
Points deduction punishment is what is being implied here.They finished comfortably 3rd in the end last season and are far from getting relegated.

Or the next Ben Arfa.So he is bascially Gourcuff?
Still running this nonsensical narrative which his own teammates and managers have had to publicly deny ?Has pissed off teammates with his attitude.
I think it's the wrong club for him. You need to build around his strengths and negate his weaknesses as much as possible. I don't think that will happen at City.This guy doesn't run enough to play for Guardiola.. I suspect he will be a flop
He had a verbal agreement with Lyon because buyout clauses are illegal in France.feck off is he that cheap. Absolutely no chance City
I'm just calling Man City liarsHe had a verbal agreement with Lyon because buyout clauses are illegal in France.
I think it’s the case that we know ourselves that it’s near impossible to persuade him to come. It’s impossible to sell the ambition of our project when we just hit rock bottom. Even his agent would be smart enough not to use us right now as negotiating tactic because it may piss off other parties. Cherki burned that bridge to PSG last summer, so lesson should be learned. World Cup is next year, and he wanted out, so this time they seem to get thing done swiftly.Strange that we didn't seem interested. Suspect he will be a top quality player for them in the David and Bernardo Silva vein.
Every tier 1 French sources have reported on Luis Enrique and Campos being massive fans of the player and that he had a video call with Enrique last year and everything ready for him to go to Paris.On the one hand, has the technical ability and skill in tight spaces and one touch football you’d want in a possession dominant side like City. On the other, as others have mentioned he’s a bit of a mercurial talent who massively lacks intensity and I’m not sure Pep will indulge that
I guess the talent massively outweighs those shortcomings and they feel Cherki either has it in him to improve in that regard / they can compensate elsewhere.Every tier 1 French sources have reported on Luis Enrique and Campos being massive fans of the player and that he had a video call with Enrique last year and everything ready for him to go to Paris.
And Enrique wants his players to work hard oop. Now the same stuff about Pep directly taking to him has come out.
That's two managers keen to sign him in spite of their football being very much about pressing and intensity.
I hate everything about this
