Mikel Oyarzabal

[Benarbia’s Backheel]

Do we realise there are footballers of nationalities other than Spanish, sheesh.

Sancho not the answer either, he's the new Willian or Oxlade-Chamberlain.

You would put Willian an Ox in the same category?

Willian is class

According to Stuart Brennan...

Manchester City are not in talks with Bayern Munich about Germany winger Leroy Sane .

And even if the 23-year-old star does decide to go, and the Bundesliga giants stump up a fee of up to £100million, the Blues will not be spending any of it on Mikel Oyarzabal.

 

[Ardwick Green Blue]

Looking at the video above, you wouldn't describe him as a Spanish Rick Holden or Nolito Junior. He looks like a more physical, energetic version of Mahrez with decent pace.

 

[JCB001]

He is far from slow, very deceptive player in terms of speed

Ah you mean he is slower than he looks

 

[Dr Jacoby]

Cornet impressed against us in the CL.

 

[Tevez City]

This analysis really checks out. Someone get this over to Txiki

Lol

This analysis is back by numbers, it doesnt tell the whole story but its not far away from the real evaluation of the player.

"Mikel Oyarzabal summons a Press Conference at 5:00 p.m. in Zubieta."

So the rumours will be put to bed tonight and this thread will be closed after he says he is staying at Real Sociedad.

As always. When Sane will end up in Bayern and City will not sign the successor it will be like a spit in the face.

Depends if there are blue comes put out at the press conference or not.

Also 5pm is 4pm here. Coincidence?

Or it wont

The story was first run from one of those writers looking for a Sane replacement story, it was then taken up by the Sun, who have the biggest transfer failure rate , they no doubt thought young Spanish international plays the right position for a small club, Pep is bound to go for it
There is nothing wrong with being linked with this lad the Youtube vid does not do him justice he is very good a standout player for his club, but as i have already said he is no Sane replacement a back up Bernado maybe as he has no pace

 

[Bpughh]

Think there is something in this. He looks a very classy player. Would be sad to see Sane go and honestly hoped for a bit more pace to be targeted but this guy looks clinical and versatile. Almost like a young de bruyne at wing/ sluggish robben mix. Has that de bruyne/yaya ability to drive and create/finish ridiculousness from nothing really. Crossing would be de bruyne esque if on the left. Can also see him drifting in with robben-like robben movement (less pace) from the right and a constant threat with the curling left top of the 18 rip.

All that said, as others have said, we do have bernardo and mahrez. I guess if this guy is our guy it would be because we see him playing leftwing and zinchenko is still predicted to have a future at left back. With mendy/angelino as the options seems like we'd want dembele or sancho.

 

[MCFCFanTX]

He's really good, in my opinion, but I question his pace in our league. Technical player, can pick the right pass, good skills with the ball and can score. I'm sure if we were to go for him, he would flourish here if used properly. His future lies in the midfield rather on than on the wings though. Could be wrong.

I agree with you, he doesn't have the pace to be a winger but he looks like a great talented young player and very reminds me of David Silva

 

[bondsman]

I’d maybe swap him for Mahrez but he’s not in Sane’s class

 

[David Silva]

Neither Bernardo or Mahrez are particularly quick so I’m not sure where this “no pace” argument is coming from.

 

[Sir Joe Aguero]

Neither Bernardo or Mahrez are particularly quick so I’m not sure where this “no pace” argument is coming from.

He's apparently even slower than them. We play a certain way but having that raw pace on the counter that Sane & Sterling offers helps catch teams out, but also stops them from committing players, meaning we're less vulnerable.
