I thought El Matador would have been a fantastic striker for us, but he signed for fucking Utd. He would have been an expensive alternative to Bobby at the time but he was lethal at Napoli, and I wished he’d have come to us instead of Liverpool. Even in his twilight years you could see his quality (and frustration) at United.

He had one decent season for them, but I agree he would have likely fared better with us under Klopp.

Hmmm your secret allegiance is not as secret as you think.

Still chuckling at the Cherki thing.

I wonder how long it will be until some donut claims he’s better than Thierry Henry and is clearly the best ever Frenchman to have played in the PL.

I expect that to happen well before he actually plays a game in the premier league.

I like that in the discussion about which will perform better between Wirtz and Cherki, there are a number of responses stating “Bruno”.

Salah will sort out their fitness regime. One of the criteria is to be able to give a piggyback to Bernardo silva while running on goal.

No one was seriously comparing Cherki to Wirtz until Wirtz picked Liverpool over City. Seems like rival supporters are snorting plenty of copium.

Cherki’s talent is well-documented. He’s been a French prodigy since he was a teenager. He might be a very good player for City, rising to the occasion. Or, he might find himself in Pep’s doghouse because of his lack of workrate and well-documented attitude issues. There have been plenty of great talents who have not realized their gifts because they just don’t have the drive to match their talent.

Wirtz not only has the physical ability and skill, but he also has the track record of brilliance and a winning mentality. I don’t have any doubts that he will come into this team with tenacity and commitment and drive. Can’t say the same about Cherki.

Ultimately, I think the best Cherki can hope for - if everything comes together for him - is to be as good as Wirtz is right now. And Wirtz can get even better than he is right now.

Here are a couple City supporters doing a breakdown of Wirtz that was quite glowing and favorable.

He looks like another fucking show pony in the Grealish mould to me , and will probably suffer a similar fate , with any luck.
