Nico Williams

Does it have to be Nico vs Leao?

I would rather sign Son on a free. Hardworking finisher, would be a good Raphinha rotation player. Plus he can play CF. Great stopgap while we spend money in defence instead. It's unlikely yes.

I thought we were initially discussing on who is the better player, not who we should sign.

If speaking of who we should sign for the LW position, Nico is probably a better option indeed - despite Leao being the better player. For many reasons. The price tag probably being first on the list.

you keep trying to move the goal post,lol.

You thought the stats proved you right just now, when what's his name mentioned it, then I pointed out for the entire year, he is infact as good in take ons, as the initial numbers suggested.

Now you're flip flopping all over the place.

You were wrong the man can dribble like the best in the league and Europe, different does not mean deficient.

Not moving goal post. Yamal and Vini dribbling way superior to nico’s as per pre-incorrect interpretation of the stats posted or post.

Nico can’t dribble in tight spaces. That dribble Lamine pulled off against Betis? You will see Nico do that 2 times in his career tops.
Likes of Vini, Leao, Luis Diaz, Rodrygo, Arda, heck even midfielders like gavi and pedri will pull off stuff akin to that before him.

Nico does not have great balance and control. Again relies a lot on his pace. Needs the space in front of him otherwise will just sidepass

Superior lol okay.

They all have around 7 takes ons per game and are successful around the same about of time 40%.

Those two are obviously better, but you constantly trying to show he's not a good dribbler has been proven incorrect.

Happy to take the stats when you thought they agreed with your point of view 😂.

thought agreed with point of view yet felt not to be taken at face value and as to why I got into this discussion siuuu.

Good to have trusted own ball knowledge turns out.

How fast is leao?.
When did pace becoming a deciding factor in who is a better football player?.

It's barcaforum, pace was always overrated here.

Traore also was the best dribbler according to stats. But everyone with eyes knows how that looked in reality.

Of course pace is important, there's probably thousands of kids in brazilian favelas with better footballing skills than these players, but they aren't t&f runners.

But if anything we would need Nico for pace. What else? He was supposed to provide depth and compliment yamal skillset

 

[Messi983]

you got it

 

[jamrock]

you got it

No he doesn't, he just compared adama to Nico.

Nico dribbles and also contributed 19 assist last season and 9 goals.

Was one of the best players at the euros.

He's both a good dribbler with end product.

Adama dribbles into a brick wall.

Just take the L and move on, because now you agreeing to craziness bro lol.

He looked like a fantastic dribbler in reality, he didn't knew what to do beside it.

This.

Would bring us millions of Asian fans as well.

Already advocated last summer to sign Di Maria who would be a very useful squad option and Son is another veteran (4 years younger too) I wouldn't mind. Will probably renew with Spurs though.

 

[jamrock]

Son would be great, we are about 5 years too late with that signing 😢.
