Manuel Agudo Durán(Nolito)

[Qqqq]

I'm pretty confident that we will eventually be quite pleased with his (presumed) transfer.

 

[EdmondDantes]

Good move for us, as long as he's happy playing back up. If MSN are fit, they play. No ifs and buts.

 

[Chong Li]

No doubt Nolito is awesome, but another 20M for a 29-year old?

Is he at least training again with Celta? Or is he still injured?

 

[Ghostmaster]

Well what can you do, Lucho likes experienced players. Nolito is a quality signing though, no doubt about that.

If we payed what we payed for Mathieu, Nolito sounds like a bargain.

 

[barcafan161]

he will be one super sub

Of course he is. He is not stupid. He knows he'll never start with Neymar, Suarez and Messi here, but he also knows he'll get opportunities.

Not with a 50-60M budget for the summer where we will have to use 20M of it to buy Nolito. I don't care how awesome he is. He's a winger and they decline fast at that age. Young players can also be great, just look at Madrid who are pretty much set for the future.

actually they will sell a few too so i don't expect that 60 to go towards him at all

 

[Frejsgodes]

Don't support this one at all. If he can only play on the left wing, either he or Neymar will get unhappy very soon.

Dont see that at all. We are not buying Aguero here. Nolito knows he is not close to being in Neymar's class. He knows as long as Neymar, Messi and Suarez are healthy he is 4th choice. Lucho has likely talked to him about his role in the team (like he did with Arda), so everyone will be on the same wavelength. There will be no conflict.

 

[diegomessi]

Welcome back, I always knew him or Jonathan Soriano would come back. Perfect super sub and hopefully Sandro sale will,pay for half of his fee..

 

[Topolino]

Well, he'll need a replacement in a few years. Maybe perfect for Sandro/Munir. They'll gain experience from somewhere else with more playtime and than hopefully get his place here.

 

[serghei]

Well, someone should make a stat about what % of the games so far we played with MSN up front. I would be surprised if it is 50%. So, Nolito will get plenty of games as 4th option.
