Rodrigo Hernandez - Atletico confirm deal - p192

[FantasyIreland]

Who is everyone?

This is a Manchester City forum, not a general football forum with other fans.

Take these opinions outside of this Manchester City bubble and see what everybody else thinks. Lets not start behaving like a Cult like the Dippers, we laugh at them for it yet we do exactly the same thing!

Everyone? all who have earmarked you as a wum/troll.

Leave it there now please,and get back to the topic.

If Bayern aren’t going to pay €70mil for Rodrigo they have 0 chance of signing Sané.
Good news all around

 

[SWP's back]

He's certain to leave the club but there are two options, he joins us or he doesn't- so of course it's 50-50. He may end up signing for PSG, Spurs, United, Barcelona or even Bayern.

That’s not really how it works.

You being killed by a lightening strike in the next half hour will either happen or not happen. Would you still call that 50:50?

I think there is more to this Rodri transfer given that it has taken so long and I think it may have something to do with Felix. Assuming City don't lose Jesus or Sane, Felix wasn't needed really yet we were supposedly chasing him and now he has chosen Atletico Rodri has seemingly taken a step closer to joining us. I wonder if there was a verbal agreement somewhere there that if we back off Felix they won't stand in the way of Rodri, be interesting to see if the release clause is paid or we get him cheaper.

What you suggest would be illegal. That doesn’t mean it hasn’t happened though. Hope nobody at the club has put it in an email.

Good read !

The one difference for me is that City never quite made it on the European stage with Kompany and Van Dijk has won a Champions league in his 2nd season already at Liverpool competing against the best players in the world.

That’s why I think Roberto Di Matteo is a better manager than Pep. Pep has failed in Europe in his three seasons at City whereas Di Matteo won it with a worse team for Chelsea in 1/6th of the time.

Like the his one C1976 Just ignore it. He actually has some sound footballing views so I ll be patient with him for now. but once I detect he may be pushing it too much, I ll just ignore him and he's gone. No abuse no back and forth. Gone.
Easy as that.

Lol

Lol when you won't watch the 2 teams set ups,what the 2 players can do and how much dick is shielded then call us a cult,i have finally met someone who knows lessabout football than i do,well done

I base my opinions on my own knowledge and from what I see. You have and always will base your opinions driven by passion and bias for your own supported club, and I completely understand that because sometimes I do that also. Not having a go or anything because we all do it, Liverpool's fans do it far more than anyone. Keita was better than KDB last season to half of the Liverpool fan base on twitter. I fully understand it, and it's not a bad thing at all but it comes across as Bias and over Passionate for your own club.
But I definitely wouldn't sit here and voice a controversial opinion that Bernardo Silva is a better player than Cristiano Ronaldo- even though some City fans who are driven by passion and bias thoughts will do after a good season at the Club.

Back on topic, from what I've seen of Rodri he's 100% what we need at City. Someone who can sit in the Pivot role and conduct the play from deep. Also someone who can protect the back four and stop the opposition counter attacks. We are at a luxury now that if we bring Cancelo in, he can tuck into the inside channel, with Sterling staying out wide. And Angelino if he comes in could tuck into the inside left channel and leave Bernardo or Sane out in the wings when we have the ball to outnumber the opposition in the central area of the field. We have that luxury to be able to play different sides against different opposition styles.

You just don't know when to fucking stop pal,actually worse than I can be on here at times,a right annoying **** in fact

Well that’s great news.

 

[citizens_1976]

I wonder whether it's an idea that Rodri could turn into Pep's Javi Martinez. A player who could be played at both Pivot and Centre Back. It would be worth exploring that possibility. He offers us height in the penalty box, defensive qualities and a ball playing CB who drops into the pivot role when we have the ball to offer a numerical advantage in the middle area of the field. I don't even actually think we are in desperate need of a CB with the emerging Eric Garcia/Sandler and the positional conversion of Fernandinho or Rodri.
CB doesn't come across as a priority issue.

Say what now?

If you could sign either for Chelsea let’s say, as their manager, you’d pick Ronaldo over B.Silva now? Are you high?

I'd pick Silva due to age and potential, that's a completely different argument though. Ronaldo is well into the back end of his career don't forget and Silva hasn't even come into his prime. On current ability Ronaldo is the better player right now. IMO there's only Messi who's better today in World Football, whilst some might even say Ronaldo is the best around.

Not on current ability, Bernardo has now gone past Ronaldo who is on a decline, from a high level but he is declining.

 

[razman]

There's literally a release clause ! More I read about their behaviour ...the more I despise them

One good season doesn't mean he's gone past him. Wouldn't really say Ronaldo is on the decline, he's still conditioned like a 21 year old. Put Bernardo in the Italian League and he probably wouldn't be as effective as he is in the PL. Italian League is far more tactical and slower which doesn't suit Ronaldo's game. If you put Ronaldo in City's side I definitely believe he would be the main man, and would break every goal record there is. Why? Because he's one of the best ever.

 

[Sir peace frog]

Read the posts again, i made one comment about me explaining why this forum can be very bullish at times considering i received a private message about me having an opinion that someone didn't like and i then got bombarded with debates on Kompany v Van Dijk.

Anyway, back on topic.

fucking wind you neck in, you like a turd that wont flush.

That's a better post, the most sensible and straightforward one to date.
More of these please.
