Mikel Oyarzabal

[Tugay One Cup]

If he was any good, why has he not been hoovered up by any number of other top clubs?

Around his age, Bernardo was playing for Monaco, Kev was getting loaned to Bundesliga teams, Fernandinho was in Ukraine, Laporte was in Bilbao, Ederson was second choice at Benfica, Otamendi was at Porto and so on and so on.

If this guy is so good & has a release clause lower than Sané's price, any guesses why Bayern haven't signed him ?

He isn't German

You’re single aren’t you Dax?

Lol. Fortunately not. ;) Can't handle today's single women.

Quite likely this story emanates from the player's own camp, using City to drum up interest.

I remember someone using this very same argument against Van Dyke 2 years ago. Was it you Marvin?

For the record, it's an awful argument. He is 22 not 29.

keep sane, sell mahrez and buy this kid..

Man City are pending the departure of Leroy Sane to Bayern Munich and are willing to pay Real Sociedad winger, Mikel Oyarzabal's €75m release clause. City have already contacted the player's environment to test his intentions. [@diarioas]

looks like a 1-footed mahrez

he's 22, buy this kid, keep sane and sell mahrez

Not sure what you are trying to say here.

So just Mahrez then?

I think I'd rather get Bruno Fernandes, keep Bernardo on the wing where he's been unplayable, play more 2 up front formations or give Jesus time on the wing.

I should be saying Trust in Pep etc. but Oyarzabal doesn't seem to have any singular outstanding trait, and quite often I think the PL suits people who are incredible at one facet of the game better than it does jack of all trades.

I don't know loads about him, but his movement/intelligence looks excellent to be fair. Reminds me of ljungberg in that aspect. Pep's the kinda person that could make that an outstanding trait quite easily. I get what you're saying though.

Honestly watching his highlights it reminds me of Bernardo with a little less dribbling skills and a little bit more shooting power.

 

[Sir Joe Aguero]

Worried he's apparently quite slow. This would leave Sterling as our only truly quick forward and means we're not as good on the counter.

 

[BlueCityfan]

Would rather we just splash the Sane fee on Sancho.

But would he want to come back here?

Pace is everything, especially in the Premier League

 

[Dr Jacoby]

If Sane does leave, I’d like to see us bid for Felipe Anderson. He’s a class act.

 

[hcblue95]

Reminds me of a young Nolito.

He said in the past that Sterling was his role model and I don't remember him taking any pot shots at us since he left. If anything there will be more ill feeling on our end given he refused to train to try and force a move.
