I’m not too worried about him being good enough for us just because Juventus fans don’t rate him. They are a team that consistently wins Serie A and expects to go far in the Champions League. We’re not. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not the point I was making, as I'm sure you're aware. I think he's similar to Luiz in that he's being played too deep. Played as a #8 then probably Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’re not. I get your point and you're probably right. Coutinho wasn't rated by Barca fans too. But regardless of Juventus fans thought on Bentancur, He's not the player we need, he isn't a proper number 6 Edited January 22, 2022 by messi11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaChris Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 Good player but not the quickest so think he'd need time to adapt to prem. Really like the South American core we're building if we can tempt Coutinho full time. Best sides in football generally have a few in their squads as well it's just the best continent in producing players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indigo Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 Maybe we should sign Kenny McClean instead. The fans of the team he plays for like him and there's no greater criteria apparently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeepDish Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 Have no idea about this player, but I love that we are now seen as potential buyers of players from clubs like Juventus. We sure had gotten our profile raised with Gerrard and Countinho. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if we improve as it looks like the board and manager is planning, he will be a great squad player. But now I am happy with him in the side. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Griffin Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 The big positive I get from this thread is that we are apparently interested in a no6. It does look like a constant theme this window so I am hopeful we will land one before the window shuts. I don't know this guy but there looks to be a few too many negatives for me to get excited.

I agree mostly, the reason I’m not negative is I trust Gerrard and the team to know what we need, so if they go for this guy, they believe in him. It’s hard to trust fans from other forums because we know what our fans are like sometimes so I have to put trust in our club experts because we’ve done good under them transfer wise imo. Also £16m isn’t going to kill us financially. Just missing out on a top DM will. Edited January 22, 2022 by nick76 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
