No we keep Fern to help the new DM settle for a season. Hopefully use Rodri as a make way. I think Rodri is a fantastic footballer and he genuinely seems a decent person but during the big games against top midfielders he is more than likely the weak link in the team.
I won’t complain if he is still playing for city next season but his limitations will still exist. If for example we play United, Spurs, chavs, pool with Rodri in midfield without a Foden/Bernardo/Grealish we will be overrun and chasing the game. I added jack because he is exactly the combative player needed to compliment Rodri. Surround him with pace and grit or replace.
Why? If fern isn't trusted by Pep (the criminal offence for which Rodri must be sold immediately) why keep him? Offer him a coaching role.
You cant have it both ways and say 1 player not being trusted (despite playing more mins than anyone except Ederson) means he needs to be sold, and then also say it doesn't matter that the other player can't be trusted in a CL final.
