[Albion] Napoli interested in Billy Gilmour **Sold 30/08/24**
- Thread starter Bozza
- Start date
August?
There was the international weeks and stuff. They might have been subs the game before but I think the first proper game was Juventus because McTominay played that one.

You can say ‘we’ all you want which was obviously part of your agreement to come back to nsc, but your posts like this are still absolutely mental and antagonistic. Clueless.
Bla bla bla.
I'm very open minded about a discussion on if any Brighton players would get into the Napoli team. Lets do that instead. Whats your take?
I'd say Napoli has world class starters in every position except goalkeeper and striker, although Lukaku is a very, very good player that even our Welbeck would struggle to outcompete.
While they struggled last season, most of the current Napoli team walked the Serie A home two years ago. We just don't have a lot, if any, of players who can start in a team like that

My take is Napoli came 10th in a worse league than the prem last season. My take is they aren’t much better than us in the pitch, if at all. I don’t know much about their team as foreign football isn’t for me, but id guess we’d have a few players who would get in their team regularly. Bla blaBla bla bla.

Yeah they had a real shitty season, no denying. Some sort of hangover from winning their first Serie A title in many many years. They also had a fair bit of injuries and their depth isn't like that of in a big English or Spanish team.My take is Napoli came 10th in a worse league than the prem last season.

Player by player its a brilliant team though.

It may well be. But to suggest there is no Albion player who would get into their team is silly I’m sure. Gilmour is playing for them off the bench and certainly wasn’t one of our top 5 players etc .
Someone suggested Bart and I think its a good call. Maybe van Hecke could challenge Rrahmani. JP vs McTominay is an interesting one since it took Napoli five minutes to discover what United couldn't find out in 22 years of having around: the lad is not a defensive midfielder or striker, he's an attacking midfielder.
If Mitoma could play RW or really any other position than licking the sideline on the left wing, he'd challenge Politano on the right. But he can't move Kvaratskhelia (who is among the best players in the world) on the left.

And it’s the odd comments like ‘llicking the sideline on the left wing’ about our best player that will get people’s backs up with you fella
Well "slicka sidlinjen" is an expression in Swedish referring to a winger who prefers to stay wide most of the time, which is the case with Mitoma when he doesn't have the ball.And it’s the odd comments like ‘llicking the sideline on the left wing’ about our best player that will get people’s backs up with you fella

Serie A is the second strongest league in Europe according to UEFA club coefficients. Napoli have finished in the top 3, and have actually won the title, in the past 10 years more often than not. My take, backed up with some facts , is quite different to yours.My take is Napoli came 10th in a worse league than the prem last season. My take is they aren’t much better than us in the pitch, if at all. I don’t know much about their team as foreign football isn’t for me, but id guess we’d have a few players who would get in their team regularly. Bla bla
It’s all here, scroll back and prepare to be embarrassed.

It's not said in a derogatory way, more to explain his playstyle and is more akin to the English expression of hugging the touchline.And it’s the odd comments like ‘llicking the sideline on the left wing’ about our best player that will get people’s backs up with you fella

Well, he has got a degree in it, so who are we to argue?

It’s one of those expressions like "he gets plenty of chalk on his boots" to describe what wingers do. It wasn’t pejorative, I don’t think.And it’s the odd comments like ‘llicking the sideline on the left wing’ about our best player that will get people’s backs up with you fella
Nah I'm happy. I wouldn't want him to play in a different way. I also don't think he's able to play in a different way, it looks exactly the same when he's playing for Japan.
Probably futile arguing with you if one does not 'know' Italian footballs, since you seem to study the European leagues in some detail.
Here is Napoli's most recent starting eleven.
I love two CM’ers in front of the CB’s.

Can we sign Buongiorno and play him with Buonanotte next season please.
Is there a player called Buonpomeriggio?
