Can see it both ways to be fair. "The journey so far" makes me think he's staying. That may be wishful thinking but until it's confirmed, I'll think positive thoughts.

It is very ambiguous. Although "the feeling is going to stay for the rest of my life" reads like a "thanks for the memories" parting of ways. Desperately hope I'm wrong.
 
I personally think he's gone, if the club and player wanted to stay the deal would be signed already and maybe it's the perfect time to go.

33 yrs old, and just won the treble, it will be difficult for him to reach that level again, he's played a lot of games and let's not forget he's had two career threatening injuries.

Without doubt the best signing of the Pep era.

I have my doubts on the last point. Dias definitely has a shout for that one along with Rodri. Mahrez, Bernardo, Ederson. Also the striker seems pretty good
 
If Rice is coming in for Phillips then that's an upgrade. If its for any other players it's a downgrade.
We will have to over pay due yo the English tax on him..
He has a good engine on him but technically he falls well short on Bernado Gundo etc. However certainly better than Phillips.

If we keep Phillips and get Rice it will seem we would be a bit bloated with options for the DM if you also consider Stones in there.

Strange he would want to come here as a back up...thst could tilt the scales in favour of arsenal.
 
We have a small squad as it is, so it’s unthinkable imo that we’d allow six senior players (Laporte, Bernardo, Cancelo, Mahrez, Gundogan and Walker) to all leave in the same window. That’d be a hell of a lot of experience to lose and have to replace in one go. I think 3 or 4 of them will go at most. Think Gundogan and Walker will stay, and still not completely given up on Bernardo.

If we get him a big if He be part of our team and get plenty of game time! Gundo goes silva goes he can play in many positions as well as with Rodri of the stones role! Players get injured through a season! Seems fans always look for the negative in everything! Like I posted before there is a lot of none city fans on he posted in bad faith because they are mard arses who don’t like Man City being top of the pile winning everything…

Me a non city ? It’s not that he won’t get games or is not good enough ( I don’t get the hype but I haven’t really watched him) it’s at the price involved he would surely have to replace Rodri which is not happening maybe there is something going on tactically that I don’t get that gets them both in the team

If we signed him, he wouldn’t be coming as a back up to Rodri. Not for £100m. Guardiola would find a way to play both. Still think it’s more likely he goes to Arsenal though.
