cooksenMata が 投稿

A young CB from Villareal.

Have very little idea on who he is but I trust Jose.

Huge fan, always rated him since hearing about him a few minutes ago

[–]daley17blindBlind 14ポイント15ポイント  (9子コメント)

Bigger fan here, since I've been buying and nurturing him in my Career Mode.

[–]MaieskMartial 11ポイント12ポイント  (8子コメント)

You kid, but 90% of my hype for Martial was because of how insane he was in career mode after a couple of seasons.

There are so many supposed experts on the internet who apparently have time to watch multiple games across multiple nations every week.

I always assume they're most likely basing their opinion on FIFA or at best the Football Manager scouting network.

[–]tocitusMemphis 3ポイント4ポイント  (0子コメント)

Every fan base has this though - the initial "who the fuck" is eventually answered in depth by one person sharing his opinion and this opinion is then recycled over and over by everyone until it gets more and more positive by every post. By the time the player is signed he's basically become the Messiah

To be fair Football Manager is the best way for the common football fan to get a hint at the next best players, outside of actually watching the games. I think Everton used their systems.

[–]Scarred_ShadowMartial Law 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

While that may be true, some people do genuinely watch a hell of a lot of games. Up until 2/3 years ago, I used to watch a lot of Ligue 1, La Liga, Serie A, Primeira Liga, and Premier League as well as the continental competitions of course. I used to watch a LOT of French football though.

I had the pleasure of watching Eden Hazard since the start at Lille, PSG back in the days when they had Hoarau, Luyindula, Giuly, Sakho, etc. and back when Lyon were the powerhouse team of Ligue 1. I thought Michel Bastos was a monster and I always wanted us to sign him. Watching Bordeaux win it with Yoann Gourcuff as their spearhead, I always thought he'd be something special. Injuries really hurt his career. Unfortunately I also saw Chamakh and thought he'd be really good. Also had the pleasure of seeing Dimitri Payet, Loic Remy, Marvin Martin, Kevin Gameiro, etc.

Sometimes you look at a player and you're right, sometimes you're just plain wrong. I got Zouma, Umtiti, and Hazard right. I got Gourcuff, Chamakh, and Bastos wrong.

Mate him and Benzia were my dream pair. Turns out Benzia is a bit shit

[–]scotty1987 1ポイント2ポイント  (0子コメント)

Still shot hot on fm. Front three of Martial, Benzia, and Thauvin were unstoppable.

[–]TheJoshider10De Gea 2ポイント3ポイント  (0子コメント)

FIFA 14 Martial....something like 63 OVR with 87 potential. Then in typical EA fashion, 2 years later he's a higher OVR, played his best season ever, but his potential is lowered.

[–]scotty1987 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

Football manager for me.

Him and Thauvin on the wings were god like.

[–]reginaldukThere should be no conceit in victory and no despair in defeat 2ポイント3ポイント  (0子コメント)

If it falls through, I am sure I will never have liked his shit haircut.

[–]manudevil7Beckham 22ポイント23ポイント  (4子コメント)

Definitely trust in Jose. He bought Zouma and Varane at very young ages, and they have turned out to be class. I'm sure he knows Bailly's potential as well.

[–]danmaherRooney 3ポイント4ポイント  (1子コメント)

You'd have him to trust him on this, has been on good on the past picking up less "fashionable" players and getting their potential.

[–]mink_manMourinho 10ポイント11ポイント  (0子コメント)

Zouma and Varane were two of the most highly rated young defenders in europe when they were signed by Mourinho.

[–]tocitusMemphis 2ポイント3ポイント  (0子コメント)

To be fair it's not like Varane was an unknown - he was incredibly well thought of and we tried to buy him too.

[–]Seiciento 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

Agree with you on that, in the vid the OP posted he reminded me a lot of Rio, anyone else think so?

[–]BlackBossalini 7ポイント8ポイント  (2子コメント)

Reminds me of Ramos. Very fast, athletic, and uses his body.

[–]ManUToasterDiego Forlan 8ポイント9ポイント  (1子コメント)

I know nothing about this guy but based on the video I just watched he looks fast as fuck, with him and Smalling plus Shaw... Damn... We could press high as fuck, go ahead play a long ball behind our defenders, watch what happens 😂.

Can the mods leave this up so we can discuss?

[–]GGMU1992Jose Mourinho 17ポイント18ポイント  (11子コメント)

I think you're asking a little too much here, mate.

Why's this being downvoted. He's obviously being sarcastic...

[–]BadApplePineappleDe Gea 3ポイント4ポイント  (0子コメント)

Great article about Bailly.

Can someone translate the tweet? Has this happened or is it a rumour?

[–]Creamy_Goodne55 2ポイント3ポイント  (0子コメント)

The suggestion by as is we have offered the buyout Clause but it currently includes a lot of addons and bonuses to get to that price (40 million euros) it's not a straight up fee

[–]popcornelephantMartial 2ポイント3ポイント  (0子コメント)

In depth YouTube scout report: half way through watching a video I found myself thinking 'shit this kid is actually really good!'. He's quick and has quite a bit of pace. Seems like a defender who can actually defend but looks a bit like bambi on ice with the ball at his feet.

[–]DresdanPI 2ポイント3ポイント  (0子コメント)

He was the player that was superb before getting injured vs Liverpool in the EL 1st leg. He then inevitably missed the 2nd leg and Villarreal were smashed.

Supposedly Barca and Shitty were in for him in April too.

[–]thepirlo 2ポイント3ポイント  (0子コメント)

I saw about 5-10 Villareal matches this season.From what i saw from this season and last season,He makes big dashing runs with the ball from the back.He is a good dribbler and passer of the ball.A very rated player in LaLiga,and an integral part of Villarreal's success.

[–]yuuske69 5ポイント6ポイント  (4子コメント)

Could this mean the end for Jones then?

[–]FredixRooney 13ポイント14ポイント  (2子コメント)

Hasn't it been for a while now? I'm as sad as anybody, and I really wished him and Mike could pair.

[–]mink_manMourinho -1ポイント0ポイント  (1子コメント)

I think Jose might use him in DM for big games.

[–]FredixRooney 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

It's not impossible but it seems very unlikely to me. He is not what Luiz was for him in Chelsea at DM.

[–]johnsom3Ronaldo 1ポイント2ポイント  (0子コメント)

It's been the end for awhile my friend.

    He's not in the squad for Ivory Coast vs Gabon today...

    [–]ajemikRooney 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

    Quite interesting, as normally I'd guess he'd be a first-choice alongside Kone.

    [–]3V-CorynRooney 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

    Looks like he has an insane tackle on him. Well built too.

    [–]daniam1Shaw 0ポイント1ポイント  (1子コメント)

    Does this signal the end for the idea of signing Manolas d'you think? I really wanted us to sign him

    [–]just_another_jabroniMy favourite Shrek! 2ポイント3ポイント  (0子コメント)

    Chelsea is linked with Rudiger and Radja, so Roma probably wouldn't sell their biggest asset alongside Pjanic, who is also targeted by top clubs.

    Tl;dr: Roma is in damage control.

    I liked the no nonsense 'visa' approach. Looks and runs like a train.

    [–]tocitusMemphis 1ポイント2ポイント  (1子コメント)

    I don't know a huge amount about him other than the two matches I've seen him play but he seemed pretty decent in them. Obviously young but very athletic.

    The only problem I see with him is when the African Cup of Nations rolls round, we would lose him at a pretty big time of the heat.

    [–]scotty1987 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

    Once every odd year now isn't it? That's not that bad considering it used to be every year.

    [–]wetslipper 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

    Wonder why we're going for this guy over stones or manolas

    [–]HollowAtso 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

    Just watching his highlights on Youtube, he looks like a beast.

    [–]spoofexKing Cantona 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

    Anyone know the fee being touted? Not seen much of him to have an opinion of him.

    [–]easy_lucky_freezingNewton Heath FC 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

    Well he's a natural CB so that's already a positive over Blind. If he can stay fit that's a positive over Jones. Worth a punt if the price is right.

    [–]ManUtd1995Martial 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

    Bailly is a fucking beast. This has been his breakout season and he's very promising.

    One of his most remarkable attitudes is his speed, which is quite remarkable for a CB, especially combined with his height and physicality.

    Villarreal has been one of La Ligas best defensive teams this season and he's one of the main reasons why.

    Would be a very good signing.

    [–]jaanmek -1ポイント0ポイント  (3子コメント)

    So he would be playing in that Africa cup and miss half the season cause of that...

    [–]woozie192Solskjaer 1ポイント2ポイント  (0子コメント)

    Its like 4 weeks max, once every 2 years..

    [–]KakeruAizawa 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

    That's a major disadvantage, unfortunately. :(

    [–]scotty1987 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

    Once every odd year. Its not once a year any more.

    [–]HomelessSmurfMartial -1ポイント0ポイント  (0子コメント)

    This guy has High/Low work rates on FIFA so I'm a bit sceptical.

    [–]MuppetxMemphis -5ポイント-4ポイント  (6子コメント)

    Admittedly don't know much about him but I'd hate it if this meant Fosu-Mensah getting less playing time. I'd rather have us sign a more established centerback.

    [–]GroteBergMan98Ronnie Pickering 2ポイント3ポイント  (5子コメント)

    Fosu-Mensah can play RB, DM and CM aswell.
