Yeah I see the vision with that tbf. Probably needs a season in a settled PL club rather than being hurled straight into a top 6 team with pressure to be the starboy.
With all due respect I think his potential is top 6-8 level not somewhere like Palace. No shade intended to palace there just think he’s destined for the highest level!
Nice, thanks for the insight!
Is he one who could step up and play in Europe again? Always looks okay on the data but doesn’t have exceptional output. Was in Germany when he was younger right?
McCann has been brilliant this season- madness that he’s playing in the National League!
He was great, loved the club and the fans adored him back. Such a shame his stay was as short as it was. Easily could have put eriksen and Dele in this list too!
My favourites to watch growing up.
I believe Vincent Kompany is quoting as saying something similar on this too or how he only watches recent attacking duels when first watching a prospective CF
This is more one for analysing on video, but attacking duels for CFs. Amidst analysing their xG, link play etc., I think it’s so important to see how they regularly behave and look to compete in duels- think it gives a decent picture to how they may generally affect a game.
Just feel like goalkeeping is so neglected in scouting. I don’t feel 100% comfortable grading and reporting on GKs whereas I do with every other position- and I’m sure that’s the case for many others!
This is great, been wanting to find a piece like this for a while.
Where’s the bottom left photo from? That’s amazing
