Prefer we look overseas for players, the English system appears overly focused on physical traits as opposed to technical and football intelligence traits.

Sure we need physical strengths, but give me a player with a brain over pace all day long.

However finding a neat and tidy player capable of playing in tight areas coupled with the pace and awareness of getting in space ahead (when to go/stay) and the ability to deliver a cross appears to be a limited pool of players.

On paper Kyle Walker and Seamus possess similar qualities, but both lack a footballing brain - I don’t know who fits the bill but I’d be against throwing money at Wan-Bissaka purely due to the fact he won’t improve us. He’ll do well going forwards and he’ll do well defensively, but he wouldn’t be an improvement on Coleman.

It’s the same stand point I have on the midfielders we are linked with - Would much prefer a player like an Arteta or Frenkie De Jong type over a physical beast. Hopefully Sosa can be this type of player.

We need to make sure the midfield has a level of intelligence to dominate games, no surprise Gomes stood out like a sore thumb last season and inevitably became a focus point for the opposition.

Any ideas on intelligent RB/RWB’s Nymz?

Agree completely, like you say you need pace , height and strength in the team to play in the prem but not all players have to have them attributes. I love watching players like penear, Bernard, Arteta , baines etc o just love watching good footballers, as long as they don’t go full Ozil and have literally no work ethic off the ball , they are enjoyable to watch.

Martina is on 60 grand a week. Can someone tell me whose going to buy him please?

This cannot be true surely , he was a flop at saints, a free agent with no offers. Surely even Walsh wouldn’t do that, not saying your wrong and I know Walsh made some mistakes but can someone please tell me Martina isn’t on those wages..... please ...
 
Not sure I rate Wan Bissaka that highly. He’d lock that side down defensively no doubt, but I’ve not seen anything of him going forward. Full backs have to do both these days, especially the way Silva is looking to play.

What about that Dunfries lad from Ajax
Played well in the CL games I seen and done all right against England
No idea on his price but I’d reckon 20 m would be a good starting price

He's the lad Gary Neville said the other night wasn't a right back and not sure he's even a defender. Looked very clumsy but I haven't seen him play for more than 45 minutes!

Man City last season:
Laporte: 1.91 m
Kompany : 1.90 m
Stones: 1.88 m
Mendy: 1.85 m
Sane: 1.84 m
Otamendi: 1.83 m
Walker: 1.83 m
De Bruyne: 1.81 m
Gundogan: 1.80 m
Fernandinho: 1.79 m
Marhez: 1.79 m
Jesus: 1.75 m
Zinchenko: 1.75 m
Delph: 1.74 m
Aguero: 1.73 m
Bernardo: 1.73 m
Foden: 1.71 m
David: 1.70 m
Sterling: 1.70 m

(for my fellow Americans out there 1.83 m is 6' and 1.70 m is 5'7")

He’s not. The poster has negative things to say about everything

What is your point. Just saying not all players need to tall to be good. I just enjoy watching technical players
