Nolito

In Pep I trust.

Be interesting to see which wingers start once we have all players available for selection.

There seems to be quite a few options if the media are any near right.

Sterling, Nolito, Aubameyang
Navas, Sane, De Bruyne

Di Maria?

Di Maria isn't starting for Barca over Neymar mate. No chance. Barca wanted this guy as their first backup to rest Messi/Suarez/Neymar in January and they were very close to signing him, there were quotes from Barca as well about it I think. Nolito has come out and said that its great that Enquire and Guardiola want him The fact that you don't even know about Barca's interest should signal that you don't really know much about him as a player, than why judge him from now?

Uh, where did I say that Di Maria would start for Barca.

In case you've miss-read my posts I'll say it again: I cannot see Nolito starting for a club in serious contention for the UCL title. Backup yes. Starting - no fucking way.

Yup, but he could play winger. Can't see Nolito starting for PSG.

Even if Di Maria is a winger he will not start over Neymar. He would start for PSG considering all they did was shoehorn Cavani in the LW position and you can see how that turned out. Would love to see the stats comparision between the two, I bet they would be similar even if Cavani is probably 3-4 times more expensive, plays in a one sided league with world class players.
 
Don't really know much about this guy bar watching a few games for Spain and you can't really judge a player from internationals. How good is he? Strengths etc.

Lets just see how Pep uses him? I for one don't think he will be our most used player either.
 
I don't know anything about Nolito, but you have to trust the manager if he wants him. Also football isn't just played by superstars. You need good squad players to be a successful team.

+1 :-)

And who knows, if injuries occur.... or if Nolito is on fire/others slump, he could start quite often. He probably has between one and three top seasons left. And as a squad signing, I think he makes perfect sense.
 
We missed Milner last year, Nolito could be that player for us, we can use him on both wings and in the middle. I've seen some comments on here comparing him to Jesus. He's nothing like Jesus expect maybe the way he runs, but he is not even as quick as Jesus and unlike him, he can finish with both feet and is actually a brilliant passer and a set piece taker.

I am really excited about this signing because I think our team through the years lacked a bit of passion and bite, and he'll bring both. You can always trust these late bloomers to at least show a bit of fight on the pitch. (Vardy,Payet...)

He scored a lot more goals than Navas and Sterling, and created a lot more goals than navas or Sterling. If he signs he will be our best wide man. Navas played 32 league games last season. Does Navas play for Spain? No. So are odds on Nolito goes straight into the starting line up although whether that is on the left or right remains to be seen. I think we'll see City playing with two wide interchanging forwards and with Aguero / Kelechi down the middle
 
I'm not getting the comparison with Navas. I don't see it at all.

Nolito is 2 footed, scores and assists goals. Off the bat, that is 3 things he has over Navas.

In fact the only similarity that I can see, is they are both Spanish.

Personally I think Navas will be off if this comes through, which looks increasingly likely.
