Don't think it's so much he plays on the right, it's that unlike Mahrez and Bernardo he attacks and stays outside on the right where Bernardo and Mahrez both look to cut in or turn back. According to the thing twosips did on his own video he can apparently do the same on the left but haven't seen it myself he though hit a couple of powerful shots with his left on some of the you tubes I've seen.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.
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.
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.
Have to agree re Foden. With all the talk about replacing DS, Foden reminds me of a thinner Gazza.Mahrez has been great this year and don't see that, certainly in terms of his salary and transfer cost in a downturn.
Yes, we could use him as a makeweight for somebody else, but don't think he is any rush to move on.
I think a lot of people underrate Foden? (and that's a bigger compliment to him) - I don't like seeing Pep pushing him wide left - he's absolutely phenomenal and far better suited playing out on the right.
I've not seen somebody like him in all my years covering football since Gascoigne.

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?
I haven't mate. Understandably, more City fans are marking time as they hope it will have something in it which leaves no ambiguity!
I'm not sure if the lawyers are given a period of time to prepare the official response to it on behalf of their clients, so CAS are happy to wait for publishing their full conclusions?
Watch a video or two, seems like he's definitely coming anyway, might as well get excited.
surely foden is better central though and will replace merlin?

Very much so.The type of player to gets fans off their seats ala Sane.
Maybe, but when I've seen Phil playing for England under-21s or taking apart Liverpool, he's so much more suited to right side of the attack, like an old-fashioned inside right.
I fear we might be losing someone this summer that we don't expect. You can never have enough good players but Torres coming in will only complicate matters further.
I do hope it isn't Bernardo.

Bernardo is the one that's concerned me for a while, just doesn't seem the same man, never mind player, as he was last yearMaybe, but when I've seen Phil playing for England under-21s or taking apart Liverpool, he's so much more suited to right side of the attack, like an old-fashioned inside right.

No he was our Best player last yearMaybe, but when I've seen Phil playing for England under-21s or taking apart Liverpool, he's so much more suited to right side of the attack, like an old-fashioned inside right.

Garciawhat?! surely bernardo will get another season to get his form back?
what?! surely bernardo will get another season to get his form back?
Garcia
I don't know. I said I feared we could lose somebody and hopefully not him.
Bernie is amazing and I feel his loss of form has also been overstated. He was at such a high ceiling last year and had very little rest for 18 months.
I believe he lost focus after the racism accusations and it hurt deeply.
