Khvicha Kvaratskhelia

Monster of a performance.
How do you expect us to improve the dysfunctional team without us adding quality players who can help us be dominant?
Our football is so reliant on pace in behind that a player like him is a bit wasted on us. Rashford and Garnacho are perfect for Ten Hag footy. Kvaratskhelia would just end up like Sancho here.
Kvaratskhelia is a far better player than Sancho.
He would be totally ruined, it would be so sad.
He's a great player but his name is really long and his beard is shit, therefore I think we should give Rashford another season.
Seriously though, there's no way that Napoli let him go and even if they did you just know that Chelsea will sign him up for one of their bizarre 10 year deals.

Yeah he's not leaving. Would take Neymar money this summer
napoli would never let him leave.
Even that osimhen feller is still there.

Plays in Rashford’s position. A no go area.
Kvarat is world renowned for being a soloist who progresses the ball a massive amount of distance by himself before completing a play with a shot, pass or cross. He is capable of link up play (very good at it), but is one of the least reliant on it of all the famed wide men. Sancho is the complete opposite. Utterly reliant on teammates and constant chaining of passes, otherwise he’s an island, reduced to a bit-part player. They are more disparate than similar. Kvarat comes into a team and is immediately met with 2’s and 3’s on him, and he’ll still play out of scenarios; Sancho only comes alive when combined with like-minded and skilled players who can enable him to play his one and two-touch to optimal levels.
Kvarat’s passing gets lost in the praise for his dribbling, yet if you watch him intently, it’s the way he switches between the two, plus the accuracy of his passing that makes him so hard to read or mark. Any team he goes into can be assured of getting a player who can go in any one of three ways as and when the situation requires: he can obviously dribble with the ball, but he can combination play out or, thirdly, pass out. He’s passing out more for his country than he’s dribbling actually, so you’re not getting any one player, rather an eclectic mix who picks and chooses what skillset to utilise as and when it suits. Sancho is much more of a specialist, ironically, despite Kvarat being so famous for his dribbling. The Georgian is going to be effective one way or another, in or out of the team schematic. I don’t think there’s a style of play he isn’t suited to because his array of skills and options are so vast. Sancho, on the other hand, is delimited the moment he isn’t given the supporting cast that enables his game.
Incidentally, I doubt Garnacho is any quicker than Kvarat once the latter is in full stride.
PSG were quoted 100mil by Napoli as Enrique wants him to replace Mbappe on the left of their front three.
I don't necessarily disagree and spot on about Kvars, but also Sancho's main value for BvB this season, including in CL where he was extremely effective, was "being a soloist who progresses the ball a massive amount of distance by himself before completing a play with a shot, pass or cross"
Watching him do that for Dortmund, against the likes of Nuno Mendes, Mendy or Atletico Madrid, and then comparing to the lad at United who couldn't go past a chair gave me whiplash
They weren't quoted anything. Not for sale
But you’re never going to back him in that regard over his bread and butter, which is elite progression within the unit. Compared to Kvara, it’s a welcome addition, but not an expectation. Even the first go round, when he was untainted, coming from Dortmund, the angle was consummate team player rather than a player who was expected to go on legendary runs every other dribble.
If Kvara doesn’t dribble in a game people act like they’ve been short-changed or that Kvara has had an off day. With Sancho, you should be looking for other things from the outset and pleasantly surprised if some maverick, soloist work is thrown in, and, more importantly, is effective.
Waste if he goes there.
You’re basing that on Sancho as he is now. I’m not sure many would’ve said that when we were linked with the Dortmund Sancho.
The present is all that matters.
I could just see Pep squeezing the fun out of him like he’s done to Grealish. And Kvara looks way better at a younger age than Grealish ever did
Talking about Georgian football in general, our Estonian commentators said before in the studio how in the past Estonia played Georgia and won last time in 2015, and even in 2020 we played 0-0, then now the gap is as wide as it's been between Manchester United & Manchester City as of late.
Levan Kobiashvili took over the Georgian Football Federation in 2015, and they have built 40!!! full-scale football fields with 18 more under construction. After the Kvaratshelia rise in Napoli, the interest in Georgian football schools went up by 400% and now after they qualified this spring and seeing what they do in Euros atm - You also have to take into consideration what's going on in Georgia in general and the people's struggle to fight against their government - this has enormous potential to be monumental for the country's future.

True, but what I’m getting at is not every great player in another league can do it over here.
Bale for Wales type performance, he’s going to give Spain problems
Along with Austria they've been the most interesting team to watch, Spain by far the best. Funnily enough, they are one of the few sides that could cause Spain problems if they managed to stay very compact throughout. Still expect Spain to be far too good for them, but Khvicha isn't the only Georgian who can cause them problems at the back.
Pretty cool. I saw a photo circulating Twitter of Kvara and another Georgian player at a training academy back in 2013 with Ronaldo visiting. 11 years later and they're beating him at the Euros!
Portugal played without a lot of their best players - worth considering.
Chuck him in the Hazard role centrally behind a striker and watch him win matches for you. I'd love Kvara here
He will need to do an Osimhen to have any chances of being sold by De Laurentiis who hasn't gotten Conte in as a manager for nothing. I would not even bother to go anywhere near this transfer if I were United since it would either require a crazy fee and happen very very late in the window unless Khivcha just burns his bridges and probably burns Naples to the ground. They are gonna try and sell Osimhen this window, I cant honestly see them selling any other big player unless there is a release clause and they have no say in the matter
I’ve come to terms with him never coming here. He’s a star and he’d light it up here. A genuine #11 successor for us and someone who has a secondary as a #10 once he’s winding down as a winger.
But yeah… just a pipe dream; only time we’ll see him at OT is when whatever team he plays for comes to town.

Exactly. Sancho isn't the guy we've seen at United, he's shown a lot more elsewhere.
If Rashford were to actually be sold, then I could see the chance for us going for Kvara. But otherwise yeah not happening.
Has any Napoli player ever escaped De Laurentiis and Napoli when he/Napoli didnt want the player to go?
Higuain i can remember but only because Juventus came up with the release clause and even that wasnt a pretty affair.

I’d be amazed, personally. Napoli would absolutely rinse us (in particular) given that they’d know we’re replacing the homegrown face of the club, and also have the money to do so. Napoli also make a song and dance in terms of never looking weak. I think all those factors would make it so prohibitive for us.
Of course, I’d be all for it if we were to do something so outrageous - he’s 23! With his best years ahead of him! Just a sensational player.
Didn't his agent come out recently saying that he wants to move for Champions League football? Based on that it's unlikely he will come here, and that's not even factoring in how difficult it will be to deal with Napoli and the extortionate fee they'd expect for him.
With the number of signings we need this summer I think it's best we stay well clear of this one. We need to make smart signings in multiple positions, rather than dumping half our budget on one player.

Great shout that.
He plays and looks (malnourished/dishevelled) like as if Hleb and Benayoun had a son together.

Oh definitely nothing this summer, I mean next summer if anything!
Replaced Shaw as he'll be dead by the time we can stump up the cash to do something like Kvara. But yes this would be brilliant.
Amen. And I have it from good sources that Kvaradona also doesn't stay up playing play stations all night, is not late to training, and doesn't spend every living minute on social media
He does have a moron of an agent, so nobody is perfect, but - choose your own poison
Has too much respect for Ronaldo. Do not want
