because we have guys that can dribble but don't seem to be allowed to, the game plan is to not lose the ball hence the move away from traditional wingers, not like we will just change the style for this kid

Based on those graphics a few pages previous, he loses the ball only at a slightly higher rate than Phil who IIRC has one of the best turnover rates not just on City but in the league. His passing accuracy is on par with Mahrez and Phil as well.

BUT BUT, the stats don't count cos it's from the French farmer's league... \0/

Based on those claims, it's a wonder we've ever looked at players outside the English Premier League.

As you say, the kid's stats are there for all to see. At £35m, I'm more than happy for us to take a punt.

but in a much worse league, don't think you can compare france to the prem but stats are stats

You can't fully correlate Grealish's role to us moving away from traditional wingers.
We wouldn't sign this lad and put the shackles on him, that'd entirely defeat the purpose of his signing.
And yeah Jack, Phil and Bernie can take a man on but they aren't close to this lad in consistency or output. Saka most dribbles of any winger in this league, Doku completed more despite playing 2000 minutes less.

Great. I know this one. Is it 'Arms' ?

Is it bollocks! It’s wife of course

i've wanted pace in the side for ages, probably since Sane left so he fills that requirement
Guess we will have to see if we are serious about him and what happens before the window closes

Left foot, right foot, left wing, right wing, dribbles and shoots with either foot, Strong and seems tackle resistant. Looks impressive on selective Youtube clips.

Feels like a player Napoli or Dortmund would sign this window and then sell for a massive fee next summer. The stats back up that he’s a quality young player , put him in an attacking team he’d look very good.

 

[BongoBlue]

Electric player on his day. Would give us a whole new dimension. If we can get him for relatively cheap money, even with his injury record, I say go for it.
