As per The Goat
Good dribbler, probably too lightweight for Conte though.
Based on the stats and clips he's much more of a skilful dribbler than any of our current CMs (99th percentile for dribbles in the top 5 leagues) and operates a bit higher up the pitch, so would offer us something different.I’ve come here for the discussion about what type of player he is so…
…anyone have any idea what type of player he is (ideally beyond just World Cup matches)? ??
According to wiki 182 cm but his weight though... 62 kg, about the same as Bryan Gil...But how tall is he?
Honestly surprised by this because physically speaking he is the opposite of a Conte player. He’s certainly a very exciting prospect who’s fantastic with ball at his feet but when I’ve seen him pre World Cup I always thought his passing and vision were lacking to be a playmaker. Bit then again, maybe we aren’t looking for a playmaker. But there are others on here who follow the French league closer than I do.
Really tho, as much as he can ride a challenge, I’d be surprised if this is who Conte want’s considering he’s not any more physically suited to the pl then someone like Gil.
I'm no longer sure this is the end game plan tbh. Looking more and more like a shift to 3-5-2 once we have the required WB'sHe also has no end product at the moment which you'd think would put Conte off him. He needs a lot of time to develop as a player. I'm not sure he'd solve our creativity issues for example and I don't think he could play in the 2 man CM in the 3-4-3.

Here comes all the negative stuff in him. From what I have seen, he is exactly that difference maker we need.
From the outside looking in I'd say so, as the more advanced of the three. I would imagine this guy(should we get him) would be his understudy/rotation. The more different names I hear linked the more it looks like a shift away from 3-4-3. At the moment we have no other way of creating anything from the right which is why we have been playing this way and it's why we are still looking at more or less CM options that can play forward than outright AM's.Presumably with us playing Deki in a CM 3?
Good to hear. 343 has been an, albeit successful, grind.I'm no longer sure this is the end game plan tbh. Looking more and more like a shift to 3-5-2 once we have the required WB's
Yeh it would make sense. Ounahi is great and offers something different to our current crop of 4 + Sarr but if we’re only playing 2 there every game then having 6 bodies (and 6 really good ones, we have really good midfielders) is a bit overkill.From the outside looking in I'd say so, as the more advanced of the three.

All imho of course.
