Mikel Oyarzabal

Serious question are there many wingers out there that have Leroys pace and trickery who are up for sale ?

#1. Gareth Bale (Real Madrid): 36.9 kph

#2. Orlando Berrio (Flamengo): 36 kph

#3. Kylian Mbappe (PSG): 36 kph

#4. Inaki Williams (Athletic Bilbao): 35.71 kph

#5. Theo Walcott (Everton): 35.7 kph

#6. Leroy Sane (Manchester City): 35.48 kph

5 players quicker than Sane. Number 1 seems available.

We could probably get number 5 for a couple of bags of chips.
 
Sound reasoning but you used Hazard and Messi both were outstandingly fast you would have been better using Bernardo who is also faster but a very similar player, but then we already know Bernado can do a job on the wing but a better one as AM

They aren't quick in a straight line. They are quick with the ball and able to move it very fast. Straight line speed isn't that important as a winger. Dribble speed, ball manipulation, positioning and timing of runs are far more important.
 
The game back then was very slow the ball was slower the pitches also slowed everything and the players were all slower partially through diet and training, so ask yourself `what the fuck has that got to do with his point` Oyarzabal is an outstanding player who is too slow to play winger
"You need pace to be a winger"

*Examples are given disproving that

"Yeah but no, you need pace to play as a winger now because reasons"

I know you will have watched the Yokohama game, the lesson from that game was that speed dictates who is first to 50/50 balls who controls the space and eventually who controls possession and control of the game, we won that game because we were better in front of the net, this will not have been lost on Pep who loves his midfield and has used these tactics himself for years, if we lose Sane we lose one of the few pace merchants with ability
 
I've gotta start watching foreign leagues more so that I don't have to keep relying on a 5-10 minute Youtube clip some nerd made up hiding all the flaws of a player dubbed with dance music.
