It's Quiet 18 - Wanna ring the bell?

You heard anything other than what’s been published RE Rice or a Gundo replacement? I know you’ve said we’re keen and he’s got huge admirers etc but given Gundo appears gone, can you see it happening? If not, do you think we sign anyone else in midfield?

We seem more than happy to let the Rice stories circulate, but we did likewise with Bellingham.

At some stage, City will have known the score on Bellingham and chosen to keep quiet for good reason.

If we recall, Pep wanted to sign Pogba last summer (thank fuck we didn't) and moved on to Phillips.

I think we need at least Rice and another creative outlet.
 
They haven’t missed since taking over tbf.

Isak & Bruno absolutely quality and they brought good personalities in.
I didn't mean miss on talent evaluation. I meant they have their eye on some talent that won't want to go there just yet. For example, I don't think they are enough of a draw to get Barella from Inter.
 
If we use Phillips to get Rice I see us signing Veiga. Don’t see Veiga being an alternative as not experienced enough but certainly a great prospect.

If Phillips doesn’t go he gets another year to prove himself, Kovacic can cover that position as well if needed

Do you think Phillips will go as well
Surely there is no place for him now
Pep just doesn’t rate him

Do you think we make a move for Rice?

We only need Rice if we can unload Phillips in the deal.
 
Out of curiosity, and a question for others who watch far more leagues, if Rice is not seen as a Gundo replacement, who is out there who could be ?

And I'm not talking about the likes of Kimmich, FDJ.
No player is similar but players I feel that could bring their own skillset to the team:

Serie A
Barella - Inter
Milinković-Savić - Lazio
Anguissa - Napoli
Bennacer - Milan
Tonali - Milan

La liga
Veiga - Celta Vigo

Unfortunately, I usually only notice wingers in La Liga and can’t recommend anyone decent unless they’re really young players.

Bundesliga
Wirtz - Leverkusen
Szoboszlai - Leipzig
Brandt - Dortmund

Ligue 1
Vitinha - PSG
Le Fee - Lorient
Fofana - Monaco

For Ligue 1, the only one I’d really say brings something different is Vitinha. Goes under the radar.

At least, off the top of my head, those players I’d say are quality.
