Making sure we have some money coming in next year in league 2.

I’d be happy enough to sign the young lad Wharton from Palace as rotation for Rodri and I think we’d be set.

It isn't rotation though is it, because Rodri won't get rotated. Wharton would play if Rodri has an injury or a suspension, both very rare for him so far. Wharton is on the cusp of the England team, playing every week in the premier league. He isn't signing to be on the bench like Phillips was.

He looks a perfect Pep midfield project though doesnt he Wharton?

He does but whilst Rodri is here he just isn't going to get opportunities. He is far too good to play in Carabao cup games.

It's ridiculous those thinking top players are going to come here to be Rodri understudy! They ain't ffs get over it

Yeah, someone should go tell Txiki that, he's wasted all this time - first bidding for Rice and then wanting Newcastle to lower their price for Bruno G...

probbaly why we want someone who can play in an 8 or double as well .

 

[M12Blue]

Oh ffs grow a pair of balls you sound like a spoilt brat.

That’s your take on my post, f#ck me

 

[RayCTID]

Mate I didn’t say mistake letting palmer go,although I do think he’s better than your portraying

Cole Palmer didn't exactly flourish at City.

I think we may have looked at that and changed our minds myself. Probably decided what it was going cost and we weren't getting an 8 better than Kovacic or even Bernardo. Maybe the change to wingers and Bernardo staying changed the narrative.

If Alvarez goes and the club feel we have enough with Bobb and Mcatee then I wonder if they would be more inclined to go back and pay £100m for Bruno G?

This is something I’ve been wondering myself. If Alvarez goes we probably have enough of a war chest to get Bruno and Musiala next summer.

 

[bluemonkey71]

Why would we wait till next summer? Teams are strengthening but we are sat on our hands at the moment.

Could Wharton do that ?

 

[blueparrot]

Could Wharton do that ?

I think so eventually, but not sure he gets in our team as an 8 yet not this season. Maybe that's why it was said we like him but would rather he stayed at Palace another year.

 

[Gaz (FMwkdsoul)]

Could Wharton do that ?

easily imo, but so can perrone & kova.

I don’t mean rotation in the sense that they’d both get an equal amount of prem / CL starts, that would be crazy. I mean so that we have a capable, talented, homegrown option, with bags of potential, who can come on after 60-70 mins so that we can manage Rodri’s minutes. I’m sure he’d get his fair share of starts too in all the cup comps.

You think Wharton wouldn’t jump at the chance to sign for City and get managed by Pep, who played in the same position and has coached Busquets and Rodri into the two best DMs of the last 15 years?
