He has Mbappe in his pocket so it would be a 2in1

For what it's worth Stephen Howson was waxing lyrical about this lad a couple of weeks back.
According to WhoScored...
Strengths
Sounds good to me for a 19 year old French RB. The only red flag is concentration, but you'd think proper coaching and maturity should be able to fix that. As a relatively inexpensive signing, this one seems exciting.

I rather we get this guy and build for the future than sign a 29year old munier.
This thread is in bad taste
So would I but seems no interest at all
Not old enough not good enough

What? What have I done?
Meunier is 31 next month.
Hope this happens
For those who are not familiar with the player and wondering what he can bring to the squad, here is the highlight of his fbref statistics, compared with full-backs in the top 5 leagues + European competitions in the last 365 days.
Possession
Passing
Defense
Clear upgrade at Dalot and AWB despite his young age.

This guy ain’t 30. Not happening.
Saw his youtube highlights. Can press, can protect the ball when being pressed, carries the ball extremely well.
Sign him up now.
Sign him up now.
How much is he valued at
This guy looks like the real deal. Just drop 50 mill.
If we manage to get rid of AWB and sign this guy, I’d be satisfied with this window.
Still a loooong way to go with the squad as a whole but you can’t do a rebuild in one summer and I would rather we give Amad and Garnacho more minutes than spunk money on plan C forward.

Did I dream it or did I see a post from his club saying that it’s “impossible” that they will sell him this window?
Very likely
A player named Gusto is guaranteed to be a legendary right back. It’s the most fullback name you can find.
Looks good. Him + another midfielder and I'm happy.
Which midfielder do you realistically want
Not sure, would love De Jong, but I am not sure if that is realistic.
Yeah not this window
A Brazilian Frenchman at that, he was born to do this
Gusto, Tielemans and Antony would be an excellent end to the window. I wouldn’t have suggested Tielemans previously but the addition of Casemiro makes him a much better fit, plus he’ll be relatively cheap in comparison to other options.
Worrying there seems little talk of alternative CM targets since De Jong brief yesterday
Casemiro was the alternative, surely? Another midfielder would be in addition to. We’d do really well with a tempo setting number 8. Someone in the mould of Barella. A real pass and move player. As it is it’ll be Casemiro and Eriksen plus one more. Whether that one is Bruno or Fred will likely depend on the opposition I imagine. We could really do with the third being someone with a lot of energy, a la Fred, but better play making abilities.
Even when De Jong was the priority target there was nothing about signing a second midfielder
Neves would be interesting, but depends on price.
Casemiro is nothing like De Jong, De Jong is a deep lying playmaker. He sets the tempo and runs the midfield. They are exactly the types to suit playing together.
Interesting point, I wouldn't have either but with that assurance of Casemiro behind him, he could be useful for the no.8 role at a good price. But yes chuck in a keeper with the above (I haven't seen enough of the right backs linked to comment which is best) and the starting team looks stronger.
Isn't this Gusto meant to be one of the top upcoming full backs
Both our current fullbacks Shaw and Dalot were both teenage prodigies when they were signed. Dalot was seen as the best of a talented Portuguese underage crop and Shaw was a sensation at Southampton. Just goes to show that these hot prospects don’t always develop in a straight line.
Imagine my excitement when this thread was bumped only to see more opinion pieces from CAF residents.
Thank you Einstein for clearing that up. I had no idea what type of midfielder each was, especially given they are both so low profile.
I was wondering why there is a Serbian title on redcafe. "Malo gusto" means "little dense" in Serbian/Croatian/Bosnian. Useless fact haha.
I thought it meant "bad taste" in Spanish
