re: Manchester City 2016-17 season long thread:"Jesus has risen"

Word on the street is that we're enquiring about Benjamin Heinrichs.

If you don't know who he is, (I only knew who the frick he was because he's an absolute savage on Football Manager, like 200+ league appearances in my City save) he's a 20-year-old German fullback for Leverkusen. In addition, he can play both right and left fullback, was formerly a midfielder and also has been used as a center back. He's made one appearance for the German NT.

Sky Sport Deutschland reported earlier this week that his agent and City representatives met in a German hotel about probably nothing and so this is gaining steam.

The kid can supposedly play on both the right and left and is solid with both feet.

Regardless, it's all heresay. I'd love to have him, just don't really see a young German coming here after the Boateng fiasco. But who knows, maybe he's besties w/ Sane.


And yes, I chose the photo on purpose.
