Player Watch Player Watch: Dejan Kulusevski

[iddebu52]

He's no upgrade, pass

 

[Stamford]

We have enough potential in this squad. We need some players for now

 

[Hitch]

We have enough potential in this squad. We need some players for now

Agree on the second sentence. Not so sure on the first.

 

[fishhhandaricecake]

Fits the mandate of signing young players with potential. He's inbetween Gil and Son level.

Would be an ok signing but would rather Coutiniho and others.

 

[McFlash]

I've not seen this bloke but if we can't get Vlahovic now (or ever), would he be an option to rotate with Sonny and Kane?
We desperately need an alternative to play up top because those two look shattered.

If this guy had that versatility, he may be worth a punt if the price is right.

Not IMO. For me he is more an AM than a striker. He also has nowhere near the pace that Son has. The main reason for why he has played upfront for Sweden is basically because that is the only position to fit him into Sweden’s 4-4-2 formation.

Whilst he is pretty skillful, I am not sure what he actually brings that Gil does not (apart from maybe a little more physical strength)?

I think we need 2 more attackers at least, no one makes me feel that he can score a goal apart from Kane, Son and Lucas

He plays on the right side which Gil and Bergwijn haven’t shown they can

 

[Sophos151]

I think this guy is exactly what we need. Kane and Son are two thirds of an excellent front three, but there needs to be a creator in there as well, someone’s who can get more involved in the build-up, while also adding a bit of goal threat.

 

[curlacious]

On the bench for Juve v Napoli. Kicking off now.

 

[curlacious]

On for Chiesa, last ten mins.

 

[rossdapep]

On for Chiesa, last ten mins.

Been paying a bit of attention to McKennie.

Think he could be a good option in a Conte system. He's not a possession player but he's done very well in a few counter attack situations and has shown good awareness and agility.

Certainly more athletic and reliable than Ndombele and certainly more agile and technical than Hojbjerg.

 

[dtxspurs]

Romano said there is an opportunity with Kulusevski but Juve wants 30-35mil and a permanent deal. Opportunity for swaps but will be difficult. He said we've been in contacts with his agent and are definitely interested.

Added that Conte wanted to sign him at Inter but Juve won the deal.

I have no doubt we're trying to push Ndombele on them.

 

[Wadec]

Reports of us offering 15m and Japh.

Because Japhet Tanganga is the defender that all Juve fans have been dreaming about?

Maybe they haven't. But the club itself could (possibly) see something in the lad. And let's face it, when it comes to defenders/defending, the Italian league is probably one of the best for a young defender to learn his craft?

Oh I know. Was being a bit tongue in cheek. Love a random rumour.

A defender that looks average here can look great over there

Agree I love how random it is.

When you look at who they have now or who they have had recently (Chiellini, Bonucci, De Ligt, Romero, Demiral) it does seem a little out there doesn't it.

 

[Darth Vega]

About to come on away at Jose's Roma with an hour left. Good game so far.
