Ferran Torres

The only thing I would want David Luiz for is to team him up with Sergio for some sort of buddy cop comedy series.

Do not question the oracle

Two footed and can play on either wing, though he has mainly played on the right.

If we are in for him, the club will have scouted extensively and will be confident he can play on the left.

Whatever winger we buy, they won’t be to play predominantly on the right when we already have Mahrez, Bernardo and Sterling who are at their best there.

Not seen much of the lad apart from la liga highlight shows or youtube videos. He looks tricky and has a decent turn of pace but maybe not to Sane's level.

Completely agree with the last part though. We're quite heavily stocked with players whose best position is right wing

Not when Sane played. This lad is being touted as Sane's replacement.

Hence the question about how this lad would fit in as Sane's replacement.

I see. Fair point

 

[Otamendi's Beard]

Has been a star in the making at Valencia for years and the equivalent of someone taking Foden.

Their youngest ever CL goalscorer, their youngest player to reach 150 games, etc.

He could prove to be a really smart purchase... Or the next Navas. Only time will tell.

 

[Del_Bosque]

Ballague was on youtube before the CAS verdict broke saying we'd lined up our replacement for Sane. It's a highly rated young player who can go inside and outside.

He has a contract issue with his club which means should be easy for City to sign (Torres is out of contract 2021).

Presumed it was Torres when he said it, the Sky Germany stuff confirms it really

He's not a direct replacement as someone left footed who plays on the left, but Torres is still a winger in the true sense. The use of Sane was someone who could get behind the defence to put a cross in for Sterling to tap in. Pretty obvious, but Sterling isn't the type of winger who is used in the same way as Sane was. He's not good as good at crossing so he's usually the one ghosting in to put it into the net and used more of an inside forward.

Our other wingers, Bernardo and Mahez both cut inside from the wide position. So they can't provide service to Sterling as much when he's playing on the left. It was mainly provided by Kev's crosses. Teams were figuring this out and trying not to let Kev cross it as much. If you have someone like Torres then there doesn't have to be as much reliance on Kev and equally though link up play either player could get forward to put in a cross with their right foot for Sterling to tap in.

player.

Ok im sold. Looks a brilliant player already. Such a clever passer of the ball, would get plenty of assists in this team, and can finish too!

 

[Rammy Blue]

Sounds interesting. Can’t say I’ve ever seen him play.

 

[Homar]

Doesn’t seem particularly quick and he is right-footed. But options are slim and we’re never going to bring in someone of Leroy’s quality.
