grantholtgolazo Posted June 11 Share Posted June 11 Always felt he was a defensive liability, would be happy to keep Digne and let him go. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulC Posted June 11 Share Posted June 11 Well at least one of the left backs was going to go anyway. Moreno can't defend which is s major problem. Digne is on big wages which is snother problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No idea on anyone else It seems a lot of the Latin contingent get on really well at the club (Duran aside), but with Emi M and Dougie away on international they couldn’t attend.

thabucks Posted June 11 Share Posted June 11 Monchi magic please and use him to get Johnny Cardoso … he’s a quality DM in the making ! Quote Cardoso’s strengths lie within his incredible defensive contributions for club and country, with excellent tackling and mobility at the base of the midfield. He can be seen as the anchor in front of the defensive line, mopping up loose balls and displaying his ball-winning intelligence through duels and tackles. It can be highlighted that he remains more comfortable within a double pivot, with new manager Manuel Pellegrini already showcasing a new pairing between himself and Marc Roca. Cardoso has had the freedom to utilise his energetic play, surging forward to press in the early phase of opposition build-up, to then retreat and offer defensive solidity in the middle and final thirds. When in possession, Johnny Cardoso has grown to epitomise ‘La Pausa’ with his comfortability on the ball. He possesses the natural ability to slow down the pace of play before driving forward to anticipate key passing lanes and opposing pressors. His ability to break the lines and distribute creates a perfect harmony with Betis’ Isco, with the dangerous playmaker often dropping deeper to collect the ball and work his magic. Having impressed already in matches against Barcelona and Mallorca, fans of Los Verdiblancos will hope their growing star can reignite a push for European qualification. https://totalfootballanalysis.com/player-analysis/laliga-winter-transfers-scout-report-tactical-analysis-tactics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T-Dog Posted June 11 Share Posted June 11 I despair sometimes. Moreno can't defend? Cashy is no good going forward? What do you lot want from your full backs? Moreno has been decent, and given us another, different option. He's also been competing with a French international for his spot on the pitch. He's hardly been pap for us, quite the opposite. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get that there seems to be a lot of news today, but ultimately the only way you can get newer, more exciting players is a] if you've got money in the bank and PSR headroom, and b] if you've got free squad spaces for them. I like Moreno but I hardly think he's irreplaceable. If he's homesick and we can book a profit on him then we can think about a longer-term high quality solution to our LB situation. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guess there hasn't been a renewed interest in him from the Saudi league as there was 12 months ago but that could change as the summer goes on. It makes sense given his experience to have him playing in the CL and then younger player can get games in the prem which I assume is the plan with signing IIling-Jr. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Younger, had a good season for Betis and plays in a position we actually need. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope we can pull another rabbit out of the hat, as I thought Moreno was one of the best left backs in the league before his injury. We had that position sorted, and while yes the money will be good and we'll have leeway to spend to get a replacement, there's no guarantee it'll be a net positive. Basically, I'd hate to rip up a good thing, but it seems we have little choice in the matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basically, I'd hate to rip up a good thing, but it seems we have little choice in the matter. I do take your point, but it's only relevant to compare any potential replacement to pre-injury Moreno if his injury and any personal unhappiness (which we only have one report of, admittedly) wouldn't prevent him reaching those levels again. If they would, we have to compare a replacement to Moreno's *current and future* levels, which may be an easier bar to clear. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheepyvillian Posted June 12 Share Posted June 12 The biggest surprise to me is that people are surprised players are leaving. Our hands are tied, at least, for this coming season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it wasn't without some truth. For comparison, this time 2 summers ago we already had Kamara and Diego Carlos confirmed to have signed, and Coutinho signed permanently which had this site in meltdown, with the rest of the window fizzling out afterwards. It's just kind of funny that this season of all seasons we're starting the other way around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
