Hugo Ekitiké MUST be Liverpool's number 1 ST target. Forget Alexander Isak. This is football's Victor Wembanyama. This is a generational striker. 🧵.

CounterPressers 25/26 PL Stocks:

Djed Spence has all the tools to be one of the best fullbacks in world football. Such a beautiful blend of top physical, technical & mental capabilities. He’ll lock down most wingers with his athleticism, recovery pace & IQ in 1v1’s. Comfortable in-possession in congested areas,.

Can you now see why Bradley Barcola is so important?. This level of final third progression is not normal. He can take a simple pass and turn it into exerted control. Master in small & large spaces - carrying the ball with ease.

Want to secure a job in football, one day, maybe soon.🤞.

The level of Nuno Mendes’ performance considering his lack of preseason was outrageous. Technically astonishing in congested small spaces, direct & end-to-end as ever and strong in his actions. The most complete LB in the world (just marginally ahead of Alejandro Balde).

This is only the beginning, Mohammed Kudus is going to have an unbelievable campaign for Tottenham Hotspur. He strikes complete fear into his opponents. Excellent technician, manipulating the ball at speed. Almost impossible to outmuscle him.

I cannot take anyone seriously that believes Vitinha is a better midfielder than Joao Neves. This is PSG’s best midfielder. Vitinha is an aesthetically pleasing DLP but when the game comes to him, he struggles to stamp his authority. Neves can dominate every blade of grass with.

Once Thomas Frank is given more individual quality at Tottenham Hotspur, his side is going to be a REAL problem. Eberchi Eze and Savinho is the right idea but they need more maverick profiles - individuals with game-breaking capacity. Add Bilal El Khannouss in there.

Konate cannot be allowed to go to Real Madrid - offer him the kitchen sink and then some for him to stay. Ibrahima Konate x Dean Huijsen would be the best CB partnership in world football. Virtually no weaknesses at all; a plethora of game-breaking qualities.

Not surprised that Real Madrid are chasing Ibrahima Konate - he is a Galactico defender. Top 2 CB on the planet. Best channel defender in Europe. An absolute Rolls Royce; assured in every defensive action. That performance in the UCL final….

Cannot put into words how much I appreciate the support on my recent Giovanni Leoni thread! . Would there be any interest in a similar thread breaking down Marc Guehi and his potential fit?.

cannot wait to see Dilane Bakwa playing in the Premier League for Nottingham Forest. This is a player that I believed many of the top 6 sides should have been after. An excellent 1v1 dueller, tenacious & relentless physical profile, top ball-striking and he’ll get you 12-15 goal.

One intangible quality I love about Giovanni Leoni is that he is a natural leader. Organising a backline in the Serie A at 18 years of age with less than 17 senior appearances to his name - that says it all. Leading the line, instructing his teammates to step up on him. Natural.
