I thought this kid much preferred playing on the right?

Last couple of games Sterling has swapped sides much more with Foden, with Torres we’d see a lot more interchanging. Though think Torres would start behind Mahrez in the pecking order to begin with. Will be interesting how much Foden starts in midfield next season and how much wide forward, depends on Bernardo form too.
Three out of Sterling, Torres, Jesus and Foden have the potential to be incredibly fluid in terms of interchanging.

Sure. Pep is constantly moving his players around so it's hard to know where everybody plays.
When we signed Sané, Sterling was under threat but he worked hard and showed his quality, and got games.I am really excited about this guy. He will be a very interesting addition to the team and probably mix things up a lot. Sterling is a given these days but what if this guy outshines him on the left flank?

Sterling knows the score.

I think he played most of his games for Valencia on the right, but it seems he wants to move to the left side.

Is he really Fodens ability? He’s got progressively better as we’ve got closer to signing him! (Disclaimer: He might well be as good as Foden, I’ve never seen him..)
They're obviously different players but from what I've seen, and taking into account what he's been able to achieve at 20 years old, he appears to be on a similar trajectory.
You can't really (fairly) compare them by goal and assist stats due to the differing quality of their teammates, etc. However, Torres has had similar impact at every age group as Foden (including international) and his future looks pretty bright.

I honestly don't remember but I believe I stumbled upon it on Twitter. Hell of a source huh.
Braaf doesn't like this :)
Seriously though, if we get Ferran and Braaf comes good, we are set on the wings for years to come.
Yep, realistically I'd think Sterling and Mahrez are first choice on the wings next year, Torres gets the year to bed in the team (a la Sane and Bernardo in their respective first seasons here), Braaf gets the odd minutes once the fixtures start piling up, then the following year is likely Mahrez's last significant contributing season, while Torres progresses and Braaf's minutes increase. Obviously that's all hypothetical and best case scenario, but it's a possibility.
