Nah, I’m not having that

We knew this guy is injury prone and still signed him so all that is moot

You don’t get to moan about an injury prone player that you KNEW was injury prone from the jump in Arteta’s case

Oh yeah I’m going to bring him to a more physical league and even play him at LB and ask more of him going up and down when he had his best season at CB, genius

City and Liverpool didn’t sign anyone with suspect injury record barring Konate and even then they had someone there already to be first choice in Matip

#thanksforthescreamers you sexy Italian but as they say..

“IT’S TIME TO GOOO”.

Let’s try and recoup some more money. 35m is a joke, but his injury record is so bad that’s probably why.

1228

Need to get rid of him so players realise its not ok to get injured and shape up.

That’s it…make an example of him!

Oxlade Chamberlain, Thiago and Chiesa had pretty suspect iniury records, didn’t they? (Genuinely asking as my memory aint all that and I may have the wrong impression)

1231

You’re right, I forgot them because they were so insignificant in the grand scheme lol

Did well to shift him for the fee we got, good bit of business

1233

Thiago was insignificant?

1234

Considering the limited amount of games played yeah

1235

Yeah, because he was injury prone…

Totti over Neymar but not Hazard, and without hesitation as well.

Ricky, you do not know ball or you do not know Totti. -.-

Totti played up front mostly, what are these comparisons.

1238

He played across the front 4 so I think you could make some comparisons.

It isn’t like that Yaya Toure or Kaka they asked him the other time, that was a proper mismatch. Toure waa versatile but my man was playing CB at one point.

1239

He did, but hypothetically if you had Totti, where are you putting him. I think almost everyone has one position in mind.

1240

Me personally? 10(or false 9).

I always assumed Totti was a CAM who could score goals like a striker.

1242

Genuinely the first I’ve ever heard of him playing either wide left or right.

I shouldn’t be this confident, but I’m pretty sure his only established positions were second striker, attacking midfield and striker.

1243

I am sure I have recollection of him spending a lot of time out wide but I’m more gonna trust GC because he is a nerd and loves Roma.

1244

He played left quite a bit under Zeman(he liked a 4-3-3).
Totti left, Lamela right, Jason Momoa up top.

1245

I think he played on the wing earlier in his career, haven’t watched him at the time really. Also at the very end for a while in a strange “winger” role where he had zero pace, but still could affect the games with his vision and creation.

But yeah, mainly a 10, second striker, false nine…
Could basically play in the Pirlo role too. Totti is football.
