As we found out in the CL Final... He's exceptional as an 8 & based on this season's performances, I'd give him another 2 years.Because he (Gundog) doesnt have the legs for a 6 in our team.

I think De Jong would be awesome in this teamThe strength in our squad is the players tactical flexibility.
We dont want a rodri back up. A rodri back up doesnt play because rodri is the best around.
We need a 6/8 hybrid like gundo was at the start for city. Where he rotated silva and fern.
Since silva left hes moved into the 8 full time to be the creator/tempo maker and hasnt rotated into the 6 because rodri has been so good, but also because he doesnt have the legs for a 6 in our team.
Having a pure rodri back up in phillips is a waste because he cant play elsewhere so sits on the bench because every game is must win.
Can bellingham be a 6/8 rotator?
Is mac allister better placed?
Can rice do it?
Whoever we sign needs to be able to do both.
Then if bernardo leaves we also need a wing/8 rotator which feels like foden now grealish is improving his goal involvement.
So then you replace bernardo with a winger/striker
Huge transfer iterations this summer depending on who leaves
We should cut our losses but we won’t :(No one is paying £50m for Phillips.
West Ham will, perfect replacement for Rice.No one is paying £50m for Phillips.
And now you're gonna believe me ;)
Paul Hardcastle is clearing his throat...
is this why the dippers are bailing to save face?
They briefed yesterday they have multiple targets for midfield and don't have the cash for all.
They never did.

Rabiot, Laimer and Tielemans all available on 'free' transfers. Hope they don't get either of the latter two, thankfully Laimer looks likely to follow Bundesliga tradition and join Bayern on a free as he'd be perfect for them.They briefed yesterday they have multiple targets for midfield and don't have the cash for all.

Looks likely but I don't think there's anything official yet.Laimer is going to Bayern isnt he mate?

Yeah he's basically a more dynamic Thiago with added goals and the ability to stay fit for extended periods. Would rather see him go elsewhere and wouldn't mind him here if Silky goes and he can accept being rotated.Tielemens in fairness would be an excellent signing on a free and i can see them going for mount as well.
Tielemans is a slow bastard. If he goes Liverpool, their press goes completelyYeah he's basically a more dynamic Thiago with added goals and the ability to stay fit for extended periods. Would rather see him go elsewhere and wouldn't mind him here if Silky goes and he can accept being rotated.
Mount is very overrated and will cost a lot, hope they go down that road.
