Ferran Torres

So not a Sane replacement and a completely unnecessary buy when you consider how good Mahrez has been on the right and we also have Bernardo and Foden.

I agree with you in this sense.

He isnt a DIRECT Sane replacement on the left, as in run behind and left foot cross in box, but that he can play LW at all.

But him on the right and Sterling left is still good, Sterling scored alot of goals. You can help recreate some Sane-esque goals by using Foden and Mendy on the left with Sterling.

I think what worked with the Sane-Sterling partnership was that we would build up play on the right, switch to the left, then have Sane cross to Sterling.

I dont think it was intrinsically special that Sterling was right footed on the right side, he was the main goal scorer between both wingers.

You can recreate this with Torres. Build up play kn the left side, switch to the right side with Torres, then he crosses to Sterling to score.

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

This lad has all the potential for us to ask ... Sane ... who`s he ?

The type of player to gets fans off their seats ala Sane.

I don't see how you can complain about having 2 wingers cutting in, and then also complain about the prospect of getting a right footed right winger?

In the longer videos you'll see he's very happy to take people down the outside on either wing, which means he can give us what we don't have with Mahrez on the right and Sterling on the left.

I was purely commenting on the video Ste shared.

I don't see a vital need for another right-footed right wide player, especially so, as the perception for many seems to be that Torres is a Sane replacement for the left.

We have enough top players for the right hand side of the pitch and I won't include Sterling in that equation as you have already pointed out we won't be moving Sterling from the left when he's contributing 30 goals plus a season from that side.

I will check out the videos of Torres playing on the left and taking people on the outside, as that is a real issue for us at present.

he`s quality with his left and right foot mate and equally as confident going past people on the outside as well as in? i personally think the club will look to move mahrez on in a year or so anyway.

Fair enough. I think he'll be a great signing for us, especially at the money quoted.

Don't suppose you've heard anything about this CAS report being delayed?

Sounds as though he fits the personality profile of players we've tried to recruit since the takeover. No dramas, seems sensible, grounded and smart.

Someone mentioned an interview with him and his sister walking their dogs the other day so I checked it out. Obviously, it's just a short interview but he definitely doesn't come across as the preening type.

I agree, this is a great signing and I want it done as well.

I dont know anything about the CAS report? Is that an inside joke, I dont understand lol.
