One does not simply start a conflict with an old school Italian film producer from Naples.
very direct player but the defenders have got the better of him today.
Strong Robert Pires vibes from him stylistically, some similarities to Grealish as well but more direct.
Maybe lacks the pace for his style of play to be as successful in the PL as Italy. Wasn't great today but there is a lot of ability to work with.

Some decent play but overall underwhelming against Turkey
He'd be brilliant on PL, he's pretty quick as well when running at full speed with the ball. Would definitely get fans off their seats. Would be a massive upgrade for us at left wing over Rashford and Garnacho.
Love the socks rolled down, disshellved hair and beard looks. Looks like a old school winger from the 1970s
Some of Kvaratskhelia's weaknesses are acceleration and agility which are crucial skills as an attacker in the Premier League. Without it, you're already at a massive disadvantage. I think his top speed is similar to Antony's, but Kvaratskhelia's lengthy strides make him look faster than he is. I think he is a bit overhyped personally, and similarly to Rafael Leao, he is very inconsistent.
I'd much rather have him than Rashford, though, but the one we really should be looking at is Nico Williams.
He is very agile. Hazard also didn't have crazy pace and acceleration and, well, was a decent dribbler in PL(his was stronger than Kvaratskhelia though).
I don't think he is particularly agile at all. Maybe we have a different understanding of agility. I think of players like Jeremy Doku, Nico Williams, Hazard, Salah etc when I think of agility. Kvaratskhelia turns too slow when he changes directions and and loses his speed quickly when he does, which means he has to start over again, and it allows defenders to catch up to him. It doesn't affect his game too much in Serie A because of the general quality of the defenders (and no, I'm not talking about Bastoni, Calafiori, Bremer etc), but it would make a huge impact in the Premier League.
Hazard had excellent acceleration, and got away with not having incredible top speed precisely by having insane agility and dribbling abilities and his balance was top class.
I really like Kvaratskhelia, but he is already inconsistent enough in Serie A as it is. He is easily marked out of the game and struggles to impose himself in the game when he is. He is very talented, but it would be a big risk, and I don't think it's one worth taking when he would cost over €100m.
Not going to have many suitors if he played like he did yesterday.
His point is that Kvara is better than Pepe, Antony, and Nunez. Not as good as Coutinho or Hazard at their best. So he is worth more than 80m and less than 120, not 60
And yea he had one great season where he was the best winger in Europe, and one average, but only because Napoli let their manager go, changed two bad managers in one season and the whole team was trash as a result, last season
Overrated
I think his direction changing is very good; he can do that very easily even in top speed and his turns are really fast. I disagree that Salah or Doku are more agile than him and saying so makes me think you're maybe confusing acceleration with agility a bit. They are very dangerous from stationary positions, not changing directions when manipulating the ball.
Hazard's acceleration wasn't much better than Kvaratskhelia's for me, and definitely wasn't impressive for a PL winger.
Well that is an opinion that he is better because Pepe prior to Arsenal was also putting up numbers in France.
So we can also say, it was a one off season where they exceeded expectation. Also, again, it is your opinion he was the best winger, its not a fact.
Rashford actually had 30 goals 10 assists and Kvar had 14 goals 17 assists.
Nunez also had a very good season, which is why his fee was 80m. So hes had 1 good season in his career, like most the guys that went for that price should tell you he isnt worth 80m.
Not even the slightest upgrade on either of them
Good comparisons. I would argue his dribbling is better than Pires. But both come off that left and score goals. He not your typical Manchester United Wide player. But technically he is incredible and think Ten Hag would love him. I think we need to focus on Defence and Midfield this summer. I imagine he would cost a fortune
Was thinking more Hleb than Pires but Hlebs dribbling was another level
€100mil is what PSG were quoted by Napoli.
His last season was pretty good individually, considering the team circumstances. The way Napoli went, everything was set for a trainwreck...young player from a region that has historically had trouble adapting has a great breakout season in his first in a top league and is heavily hyped everywhere (no doubt overhyped at times), especially after his team wins league...pressure is now on to maintain that, not only individually, but collectively; instead, the team falls apart for various reasons, and the player starts badly while also struggling with fitness.
That's a nice setup for a complete failure follow-up season, but he displayed a good mentality, turned it around and ended up generally playing well after the first six weeks, at least in serie A. Not sure having his agent agitate for a move away is a good idea though, he needs to keep his head down and get on with improving and becoming more consistent, and is not established enough to get away with downing tools for a genuinely average/poor season yet.

Rashford, when he had 30 goals and 10 assists, was also worth north of 100 mil... Except Rashford didn't win a league, and Kvara's form didn't actually plummet in the second season, it's just Napoli was terrible. his goals and assists were not much lower than the season before. Rashford simply disappeared.
Anyway, the only point is - saying Kvara is worth only 60 mil is laughable. There is no chance in hell Napoli is selling him anywhere that low
He'll run down his contract and they'll get zero.
When he gets into his groove there aren't many if any wingers better at what he does.
So much potential if he takes that next step.

Mbappe replacement?
God hope not, would be such a waste.
He is technically a much better footballer than Rashford. I would love him or Mitoma on the left, both similar footballers. Would work well with a Greenwood style forward on the right.
Unfortunately we're going to likely just persist with Antony and Garnacho and Rashford and wonder why we can't score for shit

Rashford & Garnacho are fine to have. Antony is kinda shit though.
They are both very similar footballers in that they're goal scorers and runners rather than technical creators / dribblers. It works fine if you have someone like Saka on the other side but we don't. Hopefully Amad can grow into that
Disappointed to miss out on Mbappe but this guy will do
He would do well at City.
Seems like an old school exciting player. If he was available Chelsea would have already bought him. Definitely the player I want to most see at United this season.
Break the bank
Considering how skint we are, we probably will have to break into one.
Wow I’m sold. He’s magic.
Napoli have set their stalls out, so can't see anyone affording him this summer.
he is a proper player to wear the #7 shirt....not that fecking muppet Mount
80m is what we should have spent on him not Antony

Do we really want another Paul Pogba situation with loudmouth parents and agents representing a player the moment he wants to leave?
Fun how everytime some of us mentioned him, people said he was overrated. He's always been class.
80mil? And the rest. He will be very very expensive.
What bank?
he lacks intensity for us to be considered. He will do great in Spain in a dominant and possession heavy team like Barca or Real. Not in a dysfunctional team like ours.
