One year younger than Mahrez, and stylistically a very similar player.Am I the only one that likes Hakim Ziyech? Tricky player, and an absolutely deadly left foot. An eye for goal and his movement his good. Loves his one-twos and also likes the ball to feet. Lovely first touch as well.
He’ll be 27 in March so not ‘young’ in the sense of a future star. Nonetheless, I wouldn’t mind him in sky blue.

If we keep Sane then we don't need another winger, but if we lose Sane I'd like another young player.
I think we are best suited in promoting Jayden Braaf, kid has been electric for the U21s and can have a similar rise for us that Ansu Fati is having with Barcelona.
He was my go to before Mahrez came in. However, like you, I was thinking the same in the event Sane left. Another young player in.
Braaf like you said is doing well for the youth team. Has a lot more developing to do but hopefully another gem can come from the academy.
If thats the case I'd hope he gets minutes between now and the end of the season. With the greatest of respect to Braaf we can't let a player of Sané's level go and then replace him with a winger who's never even appeared for the first team.
Obviously if Sane stays this whole thread is mute because then we are set.If thats the case I'd hope he gets minutes between now and the end of the season.

Sorry ,but it's moot, as in "it's a moot point"Obviously if Sane stays this whole thread is mute because then we are set.
But if he leaves, then we have essentially the situation we have right now, which is fine, 3 wingers in 2 spots, adding Bernardo there who has done well in either wing.
I don't see the need for a big signing in the winger position with these 3 players, it doesn't make sense, it makes more sense to slowly integrate our most promising academy winger though.
Runs too much like Salah for my liking.
Almostno chance of Barca letting him go
sorry do not agree with that, plenty tell me Bernardo can play winger, so what Ederson can as well, you play players in their best position unless it`s for tactical reasons, we have 3 wingers for 2 positions and i would have bought Lookman before Sane got injured, Lookman is playing crap but he is quick can use both feet better than any of our wingers and like Sterling when he first came does not know the tactical side of the game, he will almost certainly never be first choice but would alleviate our foreign spotsObviously if Sane stays this whole thread is mute because then we are set.

Okay so nothing about me saying we should integrate braaf, got it.sorry do not agree with that, plenty tell me Bernardo can play winger, so what Ederson can as well, you play players in their best position unless it`s for tactical reasons, we have 3 wingers for 2 positions and i would have bought Lookman before Sane got injured, Lookman is playing crap but he is quick can use both feet better than any of our wingers and like Sterling when he first came does not know the tactical side of the game, he will almost certainly never be first choice but would alleviate our foreign spots
Would love to have him here but it looks like Bayern want to make him and Sane the new Robben and RiberyGnabry
Sorry mate i have heard Braaf`s name a few times over the last few weeks, generally taking it as a lever in the Sane negotiations, i have not seen the lad since he signed but he was an outstanding talent that should be ready when Mahrez leavesOkay so nothing about me saying we should integrate braaf, got it.
You want to wait that long? Mahrez is gonna be here for probably atleast 4 more years I'm guessing, I would hope the club would try to integrate him sooner lol.Sorry mate i have heard Braaf`s name a few times over the last few weeks, generally taking it as a lever in the Sane negotiations, i have not seen the lad since he signed but he was an outstanding talent that should be ready when Mahrez leaves
To be honest in 4 years time i do not believe any of our present wingers will be first choice or even at the club, and i do not think the FA will make the same mistake as last year,when City overturned utd`s 10 point lead they gave utd a 15 point lead by December, when City overturned liverpools 7 point lead they will give them a 15 point lead by December, but we have our own problems playing like we are a top 3 finish is not guaranteed so i doubt Pep will play youngsters when he does not have toYou want to wait that long? Mahrez is gonna be here for probably atleast 4 more years I'm guessing, I would hope the club would try to integrate him sooner lol.
If this season goes on and it looks like the title is gone, I hope Pep goes all out and plays a youth player every game and build for the future as the main team tries to win champions league.
