#21 | Ferran Torres - 2020/21 Performances

[Big-P]

Merlin started to come good after his goal against Blackpool in late December six months after we signed him and there were plenty willing to write him off before then. Depends how far historically you want to go back to say EVERY player is just not true , i give you Cancelo , Mendy off the top of my head and their transfer fee's dwarf the Torres money , and we were buying a 20 year old with potential , Merlin , Bernardo , Mendy , Cancelo were all experienced players with a few seasons of top class football behind them, three of these players have turned out excellent signings and hopefully Torres will folllow suit.

The Blackpool goal was in October pal

We played Blackpool mid October.

Really seemed a lot colder on the day i stand corrected ,the rest of my post stands.

I have some sympathy with his situation - joining a new club during a pandemic, catching Covid etc. - but am concerned that his presence will block the progress of our EDS players towards the first team. If Delap or Palmer had been given the nod yesterday I think they would have affected the game more than Ferran.

The recent starts that Ferran has had have been in a front line with other rusty or out of form players - if he played between Mahrez and Foden maybe he would show more.

If you want instant success you buy Mbappe for £200m and fail FFP , but we have the finest coach in the world so buying 20 year old players with potential and showing patience is obviously the most common sense route for the club.

It doesn’t help that he was clearly under orders to stick to the right touchline where he has zero impact on the game.

I think we have to be patient with him. He looks to have bags of potential. We do need to figure out what his best position is. Personally I think he isn’t a winger but he looks good when he comes inside and he has a strikers instinct. A cheap replacement for Sergio maybe ?

He has done absolutely nothing here to suggest he has bags of potential.
And a replacement for Sergio? Sergio who, because I assume you don’t mean Sergio Aguero.

He had a big enough impact to appear more than any other player in a 100 point season.

He is 21 years old. He cost us £20.7m and is currently valued at £45m on transfermarkt. He has already played for Spain 10 times, scoring 6 goals. In 6 Champions League appearances he has scored 4 goals.

Is that potential enough for you ?

And, yes, I do mean that Sergio. If you open your eyes and watch what happens when he gets in front of goal you might see It for yourself.

You think he is a replacement for Aguero based on what you have seen this year?
Are you for real?

Or better still sign Mbappe and take uefa to court with their biased, cheating bullshit rule made up only to stop us.
