Is he actually any good? I was going to ask Yankspurs, since they're both American, but I'm asking the question really of anyone who knows about football :whistle::).

You’re gonna be really upset when Zaha doesnt come, arent you?
Not really because I don't expect it to happen. And I have no idea how me saying having those players would be overkill has led you to your conclusion.

Hah.

He’s a decent player. Had a poor season. Alot of potential though. Dont think he’s good enough to be a first XI player for us at the moment. But he’ll play rotationally. He needs to be somehwere where he’ll play every game though, IMO.

What I am liking is that it appears we are maybe after another pacy type but has a bit of trickery to his game in addition.

Zaha, Malcom, Bale and Pulisic all have great pace, but possess the trickery and flair to pull off the unexpected.

We've added some pace in Moura, but maybe not the added unknown trickery element. This would be most welcome, and will hopefully combat those teams we struggle to break down.

A pressing area...maybe not. Would I like in addition to areas that need addressing first and foremost.

Oh...most definitely Yes.

Really? He's far more dynamic that anyone else we have in the squad.

That maybe the case, but I believe those mentioned see us improve in this department.

Not a slight on Moura, I actually think he was a very good signing and we'll reap the benefits next season.

But I believe that those I mentioned seem to have a little more unpredictably to their game.

Bums off seats if you like.

Feck you Ken...I'm tellin' Barbie :finger::ROFLMAO:

Moura is very tricky. What Moura lacks is finishing which he may never have and chemistry with his teammates which will develop. He will also have to convince Poch that he can do the other things necessary to fit into his system such as being in position and defensive responsibilities, pressing, etc.

But in terms of trickery, he is probably better than anyone in the squad with the ball at his feet going forward (as opposed to Dembele’s ball possession role).

As for Pulisic, he has the advantage of youth, football IQ and versatility going for him. He can play either wing and plays in the 10 role at times for US. I’m sure the squad turnover at Dortmund has had a lot to do with the drop off in productivity. He has great pace and is good at creating opportunities for his teammates. ..would be a great addition.

How is Moura predictable? He's rapid, great first touch and more than a couple of tricks up his sleeve.

Okay...let me re-phrase. Moura might be trickier than most we have currently at the club. I think he'll do well.

I believe Bale, Zaha, Malcom and Pulisic possess a bit more flair, trickery and unpredictably than Moura.

Something that will hopefully aide our efforts to overcome those teams we struggle to break down.

Will Moura be banging in goals from 30 yards akin to Malcom and Bale?

Is he as unpredictable as Zaha when dribbling?

Not being funny, as stated I like Moura, but I don't recall all and sundry scrambling for his signature when leaving PSG for a miserly £25 million.

So far this past 3 months Pulisic has been linked with Chelsea, Utd, Liverpool, Spurs, Real Madrid and Bayern to name a few.

Why is that.

I'll tell ypu why IMO. Because he's seen as potentially top, top level.

Let's actually buy a wide/creative man who scores a bag full of goals. Liverpool have bought 2 in recent years who do this. Not someone who we feel may do so in the future (if we manage to coach it into him)

I'm really looking forward to watching Spurs next season. Pulisic, Milinkovic-Savic, Modric and Bale. We're going to have a hell of a team :woot:.

Hmm can't really use who clubs are linked with tbh. Alot of it is made up, and even then big clubs don't always get it right.
Not too many giants battled pool for Salah

He has great potential but I feel he is being well overhyped by some, it’s not a move without a good bit of risk attached to it. Wouldn’t be against it at all but he has a long way to develop to start over any of our first teamers IMO.
