Ferran Torres

Announement at late high tea?!

Is this nailed on 110% ?

 

[Big Dave Watson]

But has Ezzy given his rubber stamp on this?

 

[Gareth Barry Conlon]

He might if you ask him nicely.

Very good.

That is an absurdly good price if true. Txiki masterclass.

Well he over the last 3 seasons he has averaged 17.2 , 24.3 & 18.5 pressures per game.

Sané averaged 12.6 & 16.9 in his last 2 seasons.

Bernardo has averaged 16.6, 27.5 (!!!) & 18.1

So he's not afraid to press, but he's not a whirlwind like Bernardo at his best. Under Marcelino last season he wasn't that far away though, 24.3 is very high.

Where the fuck do you get all these stats?!

Even Stone reporting the without add-ons price. What is going on!?

They use data from StatsBomb who work with a lot of Premier League and European clubs and are an interesting follow on twitter if you're interested in stats at all. They have a habit of picking up players who are about to explode before they do - Ziyech and Alisson are the ones that made me pay attention to them really.

IMO, in our team playing for Pep, he’ll be better than Sane. Though we won’t see the very best of him until late next season or the season after.

The sheer detail in your premonitions would make Mystic Meg shit her knicks.

La Liga journalists going crazy right now.

"Year left on his deal or not, Ferran Torres at the final price of €25m plus €10m in variables is an excellent bit of business for Man City.
20-years-old, one of the most exciting prospects in the world in his position, just had his breakthrough year in a major European league, established first team starter for his club. Also include strong performances at CL and a leader with Spain at youth level. That covers it.It is like when Real Madrid got Toni Kroos. Had a year left on his deal, €25m. It's a market opportunity. You take those. Probably one of their best pieces of business ever when you look at his role at RM during their success. Ferran can REALLY explode in the next few years. loves to drive at players. Mentioned in a scouting video I did too, he has excellent 'arrival'. Brilliant at picking time to move, meet the ball."
