GazBricks Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 Obviously he has left Boro to go back to City in my opinion this is the type of player we should be trying to loan from the Prem teams. I do watch a fair bit of MLS and whilst i know the standard obviously isn't the greatest at times he is a real talent who in a team with Lampard, Pirlo & Villa in it still shone as one of the best players in that side. He''s quick, skillfull good crosser and confident He's not gonna be no where near the city side obviously so i'd like us to take a stab on him 100% 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dutch McLovin Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 I agree with the op.... however my concern is he looks like an out and out winger from the little I’ve seen of him, would he be able to play as a forward or attacking midfielder??

gurujuan Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 Is he an all action midfielder? That is the type of midfielder we are going to need if it’s three at the back Did he play much for Boro? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gparrish Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 Looked good in the MLS, but he did only play 4 times for Boro. Maybe being a winger or an inverted winger he didn't fit with the Boro's system or maybe he isn't good enough. I did think him going to City was odd at the time, but then City own NYCFC essentially so maybe not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cookeh Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 Didn't play much at Boro at all, but did have decent competition for his place. Definitely more of a winger/forward. Could work well wide in a front 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's more of a winger but i think he's probably able to play an attacking role and no not really because when Pulis took over the tactic was give it Traore. I think given games he'd be a great champ player. He's only about 22 as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gurujuan Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 Sounds a talented lad, but maybe for a side who pack the midfield It looks as if we won’t play with wingers, and he isn’t the type of player who could do a job in midfield Maybe, after a couple of seasons under Pep, he’ll develop into a more all round player Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GazBricks Posted May 22, 2018 Author Share Posted May 22, 2018 (edited) He is and gone a different way about breaking through after being released at a young age by a few sides. Man City payed £4m for him in Jan I think he is someone who could offer us a Plan B and if really gets firing makes himself part of "Plan A". Suppose it depends what we're looking for but i've no doubt he will probably come out on loan to a Champ side and do well.

Much as Nando does off the left. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A bit of pace. Plenty of confidence it seems which is good. But some of the keepers and defenders are pretty shocking, so.. Still getting him in on loan for the season doesn't seem like a bad idea.

No i agree some of them are garbage but what a lot of em are in that league are quick and he gets away from em easy enough. Think loaning him would 100% be a win win for us.

gurujuan Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 Would he offer enough of a goal threat to be included in a front three? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GazBricks Posted May 22, 2018 Author Share Posted May 22, 2018 14 Goals in 50 games from RW/LW would indicate an eye for a goal. Plus with how he can get to byline and deliver balls if he got 15 assists and only 4/5 goals i think we'd be happy. Not bothered about who scores em we just need someone with a good final ball into box. We've been missing it for 2 years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S72 Owl Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 Going sorely from that video he’d be perfect for us when we play a front 3. Sell Matias and getting him on loan could be good business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
