Rayan Cherki

Does he play left back

Only Grealish gets the left back role

If this guy told me today is a Sunday, I would assume it`s Monday

Maybe posting from a beach in Fiji?

"let's launch" has got to be the most embarrassing thing I've ever seen

It really is cringe.

Ripping off let’s go.

You could at least try and use a different combination of words.

I don’t know whether to cry or laugh -:)

Cherki is coming? Let’s cast off!

Starting from the top and going clockwise, it reads: Distance covered, distance run, distance at high speed, Number of high speed runs, Distance sprinted, Number of sprints, Short accelerations, Sudden acceleration, Top speed, Meters per minute.

Not sure I can make the difference between some of these categories. What I can tell you is that Cherki was regularly one of the players covering the longest distance in a game this season. He really stepped up his game on an athletic stand point. He used to be tracked back easily in a few yards before, it's no longer the case. It's not the most dynamic player but he is globally in the norm of a 2025 professional player in this domain which was not the case 2 years ago.

One key to analyse the chart, the comparison is made with forwards, which includes traditional wingers and strikers (Ligue 1 strikers tend to be of the running type).

Appreciate it, think i had most right then.

Not got Kinky’s burst of pace but is 2 footed. More Benarbia like for me if anyone. Although obviously quicker than Ali was by the time he got to City

He'll do for me if he's anything like what I've seen online.

Stop giving this absolute strap-on the attention he clearly craves with every atom of his being

Cherki is arriving? Land-ho!

 

[Monkchester]

I prefer Blast Off Blues !!!

 

[Protein Junkie]

Cherki is arriving? Land-ho!

He will beef here before we know it.

 

[Irlamblue]

He will beef here before we know it.

You Mean "Beef up" the midfield ?

 

[BringBackSwales]

He will beef here before we know it.

Hopefully he doesn’t do a Kaka and chicken out, or was Gary Cook telling porkies?

Is this the Cherksi the rags have been going on about for weeks, It's given me a bit of an aversion.

 

[BluestBlue]

Cherki will be a Turkey if his running stats don't significantly improve.

8.34km is a over 1km below the average Prem player for his position, and well below the averages of KDB, Salah et Al.

As we have proved, and PSG reiterated last night, the model is clear..you get insanely talented players to run like they are trialists wanting a contract!!

He hasn't ever shown this capacity, so its a gamble.

I hate the obsession with road runners. Go get Gallagher if that’s what you want a midfielder to do. I want mine to create and play the beautiful game.

 

[IrishBloodEnglishHeart]

I'd personally go with "It's confirmed -Cherki has agreed to join City. Erect your penis!!"

Must more fun than "let's launch"

If he performs anything like he does in these videos then we are in for treat.

So is this a done deal? Only read the last half dozen pages and everyone’s talking like it’s nailed on.

Romano has said the same loose thing in four slightly different ways, four days in a row. Which people have taken as ongoing development and things 'getting closer'.

But the expectation does seem to be that it will happen.
