#21 | Ferran Torres - 2020/21 Performances

[Akira]

No he's just not good enough as " experts " on BM have already sussed out. Another fucking flop signed by the club.

What a terrible signing. Should've just kept Scott Sinclair.

 

[Otamendi's Beard]

I'm not sure if this is a good comparison or not, but I think he'll follow a similar pattern to Pedro Neto at Wolves - who's been their best player this season.

Neto struggled to get in their team last year - against the likes of Jota, Traore, etc - and only showed flashes, without ever putting a consistent run of form together.

After a year of learning and being given more minutes he's now grown into his role. This is exactly how I see Ferran being next season.

It's a well trodden path and we've got loads of examples of our own, including Silva, Toure, Sane, Cancelo, Rodri, etc, so it's an obvious prediction to make.

He's got too much going for him to not reach really the top with us/Pep.

Not sure what to make of him - some good on-field plays, some bad. I was disappointed in him for the West Ham goal; he seemed to totally switch off, not aware of the danger.

He has been out for ages , cant expect him to be sharp , he also had bad covid so stop start to his city career

Yup - I'm giving him benefit of doubt as he's young, first year in Pep's system and so forth.

 

[Whether or not]

Whether he is ultimately good enough we will see. But in fairness to the kid, this has been the hardest year ever for a young lad to adjust to a new country, language and culture. Month on end of lockdown, getting COVID, little or no ability to get used to his surroundings, limited chances to go home. It is no coincidence that his best moments this year we’re playing for Spain. If he comes through all this with his head up, we will have a good un.

 

[Blue Coop]

Feel like he owes me the £600 I’d have won if City had scored 6. Bound to be rusty having hardly played recently.

Definitely suffering from not being involved much.

 

[lancs blue]

Yes, very rusty with that chance, give hin time.

 

[ninjamonkey]

You can say he's not been involved much lately as a reason for two huge misses but if he wants to be involved he has to score them. Didn't do anything to suggest he should be playing even semi-regularly and looks miles away right now.

For his City career I hope he doesn't go to the Euros this summer, a full pre-season with Pep in his ear teaching him exactly what is required I think would do much more for his career progression.
