He was a bit soft in his first season. But developed into the player he became. The season where he went full skin head, he properly went for it physically. Getting stuck into tackles, and jumping for headers. That would have been unheard of when he was in Spain.

When I think of quality, skilful players that have talent that doesn't translate to the PL. I think of Jesus Navas. He was on floor most of the time. Running with the ball, he could beat people, he had tricks and pace, and he could could pick out a perfect cross. But in a tackle, he was always second best.

Looking at the Palace team from the FA cup final. They were big guys. Physically strong, and athletic, they could cover the ground and they got tackles in. I see this contrast where natural talent is snuffed out by stronger, quicker players.

Fair comment..
None of those mentioned are fit to lace Silva’s boots though.
Let’s hope this kid signs and is as good as El Magico
 
All the indications are positive, he’s said he wants us multiple times by all accounts. If he reneges, then so be it. It would only show the measure of the man, and do we want someone that shallow?

Ha, you could put it like that I suppose,

Also, what you’ve never had, you’ve never missed (as my mother told me. many, many times)

Already seen him against a PL team, albeit a shit one, the rags. He didn't really stand out in the home leg when Lyon were absolutely fucking dire but at the swamp he was the best player on the pitch by a country mile. No doubt about him handling the physical stuff for me.

Wirtz had a little nibble at Bernardo the other night. Felt very much like Bernardo had his City hat on going on the windup!

As for our business, I thought it telling Khaldoon said we have our first choice options and second choice options lined up. That was an open admission that we had done our due diligence and weren't putting all our eggs in one basket - exactly how a good club would operate. Wirtz was number one, Cherki number two but you'd anticipate we were discussing with both from the outset to ensure the club's position wasn't obvious.

It's almost like we know what we are doing. Remember when we bought Aguero we actually wanted Sanchez but he went to Barca. This feels exactly the same, let's hope it turns out the same.
