Yes, hence 3rd string. Meaning in the absence of Gundogan and Rodri ( a highly unlikely scenario, he'd get to play there.He wasn't intended to be 3rd string DM at all lad. That's why aside from last night he hasn't ever played there except a few forays forward now and again.
Overall they are both good prospects.
Around the same level in physical attributes.
Sandler's passing & technical ability is superior to Tosin's.
Those combined with Sandler's positional flexibility (He can also play as a DM) makes him much more suited to be the understudy to Ferna compared to Tosin.
Yes Fernandinho should be able to. CB is an easy position to play fitness wise. I don't think he picked up any "injuries" this season despite playing much more then expected.
I haven't seen much of Tosin either. Does anyone know how Blackburn play? Do they play out from the back and a high line? I just worry for him that what he's learning won't translate into how we play. I feel this was one of the reasons Pep didn't want Phil to go on loan.Not seen either really but Tosin is getting good reviews. Was worried Sandler might not be as good the league less challenging. So that’s positive how much have you seen them ?
haven't watched Tosin. I've seen a couple of Sandler's games. He's only played about 9 games but still made a good impressionNot seen either really but Tosin is getting good reviews. Was worried Sandler might not be as good the league less challenging. So that’s positive how much have you seen them ?
Could you expand on that please? What's it take to make it at City or in the Premier League and how does Tosin compare to those levels? Is he far off or it a case of just not quite good enough?Tosin will never make it at city or in the premier league

He seems to be rather well rated at Blackburn. What have you seen that we're missing?
Some legit info finally
Ok but you also said he'd never make it in the Premier League. I could understand you saying he'd struggle to succeed but given how definitive you are help me understand how he can be as good as he is for Blackburn and NEVER for the premier league.The gulf between the championship and fighting for titles is massive.
he was trash for West Brom last year , has looked shakey for City in every friendly / champs league qualifier league cup game he’s played and he’s 22 not some young kid, if he was gonna make it at city he would be around the squad now like Garcia is.
If you think stones has brain farts and makes mistakes tosin would be three times worse but hey this is just my opinion.
Sounds like he has been one of the best CBs in the Championship. Last season at WBA was his first season with regular gametime, no wonder that he wasn’t a massive hit. Based on what Blackburn fans have said, it sounds like he’s improved a lot this seasonTosin will never make it at city or in the premier league
