We're 1/12 with SkyBet to sign Mendy. Maybe some minor hold up but he'll be a City player soon. As much as we'd like to sign Sandro, Juve are horrible to do business with and just take the p*ss. Mendy has the potential to be better than Samdro IMO.
I think he will be a massive success with that pace and crosses.
But i disagree he can be as good or better than Alex Sandro.
The only weakness in Alex Sandro is positioning.
Maybe because of the back three, maybe its a fundamental weakness in his game.
Mendy has the same problem but is four years younger, so Pep can fix him.
But not even Pep can teach people ability and skills, and there's a huge difference between those two players in dribbling, tacke-on, creativity, those natural aspects of a wc player.
You can improve a very good player with trainning, but he will not be really wc, because the natural level of players you can figure out since the first time they kick a ball as kids.
Dont know the current stats, but until last month Alex Sandro was better in dribbling, tacke-on, passing, etc, than those amazing attacking players of Juventus(those guys in the site JUVENTUZ use to post the stats in the player thread)
If it was possible to improve very good players and make them wc, i'm pretty sure the europeans coaches would be making Peles, Maradonas, Ronaldinhos, in industrial scale.
I trust Pep, of course he knows more than me, but he should sign Alex Sandro.
Well, Alex Sandro and Mbappe, but this is another history.
