Ferran Torres

[shevtheblue]

Didn't know much about him but having watched the peice @twosips did on him I think he'll be better for us than Sane was with his speed and directness on either side, plus seems a bit more like a Pep / City player personality wise from what was on the Esteemed Kompany vid.

Same here, Steve did a great job with this one. Was a bit worried that he would be more like an 8 type of player that we already have, but it seems like he is exactly what we need.

Seems to very similar in style to Brian Laudrup, hope he's as good

 

[twosips]

Watch a video or two, seems like he's definitely coming anyway, might as well get excited.

There's so much in that that reminds me of Sancho.

Yeah, but with Mahrez; when he gets into a certain position, he tends to stop, to allow for the rest of the team to move up-field, as opposed to just continuing his run. I see why, as often he has no striker to cross to and thus have to pass the ball inwards and/or backwards.
Gabby was also more direct when he got here, but have adapted to our way of playing, and the same could be said about Raheem as well.

I really hope we'll see more directness next season, again mostly because I myself think it's fantastic to watch, but of course it has to be in line with Pep's master plan.

Given how we face 10 behind the ball every week I think we need some direct play to beat a man with dribbling at pace, sane brought us that when on his game

He's all right foot, it just doesn't make sense in respect of him being viewed as an outright Sane replacement?

I know he has occasionally played on the left, but I don't want to see another wide player who automatically wants to cut inside on to their favoured foot.

That's already a problem for us trying to break down teams inviting us to come inside and play in front of them.

He's actually really good with either.

Not sure if Mahrez and Torres would ever play together but, if they did, they could at least play on their favoured wing.

Just from that video mate. He's picking it up in the Mahrez space pretty much 95 per cent of the time.

Pretty sure he's going to play on the right and Sterling will stay in the position he's scored 30+ goals from.

Isn't scared to hit them with his left
