Player Watch Player Watch: Rodrigo Bentancur

[sausage]

Having a lot of South Americans is a bit of problem with their internationals. Also, I can’t remember too many South Americans that have really done that well in the PL other than Suarez but I’m probably overlooking a few.

It depends on what you call "done that well", but I can name plenty without thinking too hard about it

- Aguero
- Allison
- Juninho
- Richarlison
- Heinze
- Solano
- David Luiz
- Coutinho
- Tevez
- Sanchez
- Valencia

 

[luRRka]

You’re kidding right?

Aguero? Willian? Tevez? Firmino? Fernandinho?

Everyone has been wanting us to sign raphinha as well. Alisson, ederson, alexis sanchez, coutinho etc etc

Aguero? Willian? Tevez? Firmino? Fernandinho?

Not forgetting Gilberto. ?‍?

Heinze is a great shout...

Not sure about Luiz though lol

He also says he's flying in for a medical but surely he will have to do one in South America as he has a game on tuesday

Would have liked one more CM or a RWB personally

Still need players out too

I think he's tainted by playing under so many versions of Chelsea, and being crap for Arsenal.
In his first spell, and under Conte, when he had a solid defence around him, he was incredible. Similar to Toby, he was a ball-playing CB - almost like a DLP at times. He looked awful when used as a CB alongside a poor defence.

Fernandinho and Gabriel Jesus are two quickly off the top of my head pkyaing currently.

The way Bentancur tackles in midfield reminds me of Sandro (god I miss him). Wears #30 too for Juve. Hopefully will be as good for us as Sandro briefly was.

That's quite true, he did have a good spell.

Remember Son's goal at Wembley though ?

 

[Snarfalicious]

Covers all possibilities

For me, he is without a doubt, the worst.

Not Kevin Davies lol
