Torreira faded quite noticeably in the second half of the season. He did quite well to begin with but i don't think he has all of the attributes to fill a role as important as that for us. Plus, I know it isn't the be all and all, but given our team is already quite small, it seems risky to replace a player of Fernandinho's stature with him.

I find nearly every player coming over to England to play tends to drop off after xmas, think they are mentally and physically fucked without the break they get elsewhereTorreira faded quite noticeably in the second half of the season.

Yeah there's probably something in that. I still don't think Torreira is what we need as a Fernandinho replacement though. Like the OP said, he's good at hassling and chasing down but I think everyone in our team is expected to do that as a bare minimum anyway.

Almost everything.
Comparing Jorginho to Canales is like comparing Carrick to Frenkie De Jong.

Ibrahima Konate a CB plays for Red Bull he is tall,very quick for a CB, young, plays the ball well but is a bit ruthless probably too much for Pep?
Some young bundesliga players I like:
- Kai Havertz; teenage sensation, tremendous talent.
- Dayot Upamecano: I think the young french defender could be a great player for City in the future
- Santiago Ascacibar; Has the talent to be a very good DM. Had an up and down season but remains a solid young talent
- Evan N'Dicka; Another central defender (left footed) who had a decent year. A lot of potential and a big body who can help in set pieces.

If this player was merely just as good as Jorginho Pep would be all over him. Get some perspective please.Almost everything.

Yes but Canales rarely plays the position Jorghino plays. It's like comparing Aguero to Milner, no?Almost everything.
