Cheers for the response. Do you know if this is true dependent on the CAS outcome? and if the player is keen?
Phwroar!! Dealing with Napoli will be horrendous. A player going their way could decrease the value of the deal. They’ll wanna sell more than we’ll wanna buy given the climate. €75m probably keeps everyone happy. Or a deal in the region of that probably. CAS will really be the key to this summer.Again. No idea TBH. All I know is that Pep wants him as number one target for CB position. Club are working on it and I imagine if he didn’t want to come they wouldn’t be.
On CAS nothing will be done before the outcome. So it could be we get a big ban and everything changes.
With Laporte , Koulibaly and a new left back behind, Rodri would be fine in front if them. Next season will be the making of Rodri.Get him and we're a left back away from a solid back 4.
Get someone in front of him and Laporte to shield them and that's our defence sorted.
I remain unconvinced but will give him a 2nd season, as most of Peps signings tend to need it.With Laporte , Koulibaly and a new left back behind, Rodri would be fine in front if them. Next season will be the making of Rodri.
Trying not to get hyped for this......
You’d like to think we wouldn’t be approaching top targets without a semblance of positivity about the CAS outcome.Again. No idea TBH. All I know is that Pep wants him as number one target for CB position. Club are working on it and I imagine if he didn’t want to come they wouldn’t be.

Nothing wrong with Rodri as long as we don’t have either Merlin or Gundo in the midfield 3 at the same time.I remain unconvinced but will give him a 2nd season, as most of Peps signings tend to need it.
Rodri, Gundogan, De Bruyne, Foden and maybe Bernardo. Those are our options, think we need someone with a bit more steel in there to be honest.
I would bring a 'defensive' minded midfielder in regardless.
Yes, am hoping it’s either Rodri or Gundogan, with 2 of KDB, Bernardo, Foden ahead of them.Nothing wrong with Rodri as long as we don’t have either Merlin or Gundo in the midfield 3 at the same time.
And Aouar too, potentially.Yes, am hoping it’s either Rodri or Gundogan, with 2 of KDB, Bernardo, Foden ahead of them.
Potentially, though not quite sure how he fits if Gundogan stays, or whether Gundogan would want to stay if Aouar was to come.And Aouar too, potentially.
When on form, he is a monster. Top 3/top 5 CB. When we played against Napoli in CL, he pocketed our whole attack. Very very good defender even though he had a bad period few months ago.Can he defend? If so, fucking buy him cos I'm tired of watching us defend like an under 9 team.
He's basically never injured except this one muscle injury this season. His injury record for his age is outstanding. 5 smaller injuries throughout his whole career just like Sterling. And Sterling is 4 years younger and someone you'd definitely consider as a solid player when it comes to injuriesWe shouldn't even be going near a 29 year old with injury problems IMO, should we?
