Nolito

[TRUE BLUE NO1]

What's the thoughts on this guys age ? He's 30 right ?

Yes mate....he's 30 in Oct! I like the signing from a business standpoint and no question he's an upgrade and improves the starting 11 but due to his age, I dont see him as the long term signing that we can build the team around....If we can get Nolito and Sane, I think the Nolito signing makes even more sense as his big game experience and his hard work approach will only help and rub off on the younger guys like Sterling and Sane (if we get him)

Raheem the fairly experienced full international with twice as many caps wide player who actually scored the same amount as Nolito last season, whats he going to learn, how to be older, how not to get your career going until you 26
Good signing but hmmmm on the raheem to learn something from him

Sterling can still learn from everybody. If he wants to use his talents to the max. Or he will think like you and is on his bike with Pep not even bother waving goodbye.

Nolito is a luxury type signing who was too good to pass up at the price we are reportedly getting him for. I think last season showed with the how many injuries the squad had (Kun, Nasri, Merlin, Raheem, KDB, Yaya, etc..) that you need guys that are versatile and can play at an adequate level. I don't think Nolito supplants Sterling at all but is a good insurance type guy and at minimal cost who has experience playing against top teams.

I'm not saying he has nothing to learn, he has loads to learn but I'm not sure what he will learn from Nolito

It's like saying what Pep can learn from Kidd. Well ... Pep can. And he is willing to do so.

On Nolito. He is not a winger like Coman or Douglas Costa. Right footed who likes to play left and cut inside. Understands FCB/Pep style 1/2

He'll score a dozen goals. 29yo. City (like other big clubs) are finding difficult to get top players, not many around or in the market 2/2

   Nolito was hoping for a move in Spain (Barcelona and Atletico interested) but the intervention of Guardiola changed this. [Marca]
