How do you guys view his playing style? For me he feels like a Maicon/early Bale player type minus their tecnhique.
He's very vertical and powerful, like a train bombing forward on his wing. Not the best in tight spaces and might look out of place when it comes to short passing. Seems to thrive when there's a lot of space.
Until we meet a good team.
Then the only one-twos Alba plays are with the winger of the other team.
Yeah then imagine Gosens.
Hypothetically, playing with Gosens and Emerson will look very rigid. Gosens and Dest might be better though.
I don't know how Gosens will look defensively, but he's stronger and seem to be tougher mentally than the guy crying in the dressing room and calling the fans spoiled for expecting the team to perform better.
Just want a LB that isn't a total meme man and somewhat likeable.
I cannot stand Alba.
He did pretty good today vs Bruno Fernandes and Bernardo Silva. I think for the most part defensively he's alright but not someone that could carry. It's certainly his wingback play that stands out the most. He's been the main reason why Atalanta is relevant nowadays, and he had like 11 goals and 6 Assists in Serie A which for a leftback are crazy numbers.
Can see PSG going for him.
Would've been perfect for Tuchel if they wouldn't have Chilwell. Maybe sell Chilwell to like City and buy Gosens?

You missed his MOTM performance today.
Yeah, don't care about NT football.
