Every time we play them I dread him scoring. Last match we were 2-0 up early on at their place. Then lost 5-2 with Stuani scoring late on.Top of the Spanish League and Christhian Stuani still going strong at 37 years old!
The mad thing is when he signed there was a direct quote from Karanka (if I could be arsed I'd find it) along the lines of how Stuani is predominantly a striker and that was his best position.Seeing how good Stuani has been for Girona always makes me wonder what he'd have been like for us with a run playing up top. Martinez and Gutierrez are a good pair of young full backs they have there at Girona too.
And got us promoted doing just that …The mad thing is when he signed there was a direct quote from Karanka (if I could be arsed I'd find it) along the lines of how Stuani is predominantly a striker and that was his best position.
Then proceeded to barely use him in that position for the next 2 years
And then heading towards relegation. Yes it is.And got us promoted doing just that …
Funny old game and all that
Exactly what I was going to say. Backed by the Middle East billions.Part of the City group, so it's probably not quite as much of an underdog story as it seems.
Though they'll obviously not be getting anywhere near the focus from the owners as Man City does.
I agree. We had to go out and sign Rhodes to play up top when we had Stuani who could have played there and it meant Adomah missing out who was far better in that position. Would've been interesting to see him up top more.And then heading towards relegation. Yes it is.
Obviously the ends justified the means in the promotion season, but who's to say it wouldn't have been even more comfortable with a prolific Stuani leading the line?
Moot point, because it was clearly good enough. But just because we got promoted didn't mean it was the best decision. I always preferred Albert on the right.

We did play him as a stiker. Quite a few times. He never did as well as he did in the RF position for whatever reason. In Karanka's system, Stuani's best position was RF.
Ha! Tbf I think that the reason most people know Girona! Good old ryanairThe best airport roughly in the vicinity of a large destination city
