But txiki loves release clause ;)

Doh! just realised what you meant mate ;-)

Would be a quick deal to do if the club wanted him.

Quick deal? Remember that in 3 weeks time when this thread is at 1000 posts. :-)

I've not seen him play for about two or three years. I remember him being really exciting to watch but without much end product. Time for a deep dive I guess.

Don't see it tbh. He has potential but not City level yet. And he is quite injury prone. I doubt City will be willing to pay that price (50m?).

So Doku is our latest target. Guess Txiki will be playing the numbers game. I'll get me coat.......

I watch him most weeks (Rennes fan) and your description is still accurate, unfortunately. Fast, tricky, and wonderful to watch on his day. The only problem is that "his day" doesn't come around often enough. Very inconsistent and frustrating player, and a far cry from City levels at the moment, in my opinion. Very wasteful in the final third more often than not. He'd definitely give us a different dimension as a player who can run fast as fuck and likes to take defenders on all the time, but he'd waste a hell of a lot of chances and probably piss off the fans quite quickly. Even Rennes fans who have pretty low standards get very wound up with him.

If we are genuinely looking at Olise and Doku, I'd have the lad with 11 Prem assists to his name last season over Doku any day of the week. Olise seems a cut above in terms of consistency and end product, as well as being Prem proven. Would blow me away if the club chose Doku. One of the weirdest signings I think we could make.
