Not sure what happens with Nunes. I’d normally say his days are numbered given his situation but we have such a big rebuild and he seems happy to be a squad player and wants to prove himself. He’s had a lot more game time this season but once we buy a right back I see that changing as well.

Got offered to Saudi last summer according to some but didn’t want to go there, which I rate for a footballer his age.

I think he's long gone mate, clear Pep doesn't rate him and has used him purely out of necessity

He used Kalvin Phillips even less. The issue with Reijnders is he'll be another squad player rather than someone who can actually improve matters.

Reijnders strolls straight into our starting XI—even in a Champions League final.

But since you don't see it the same way, who exactly do you think keeps him out of the lineup? And realistically, who would you prefer we go after instead, that you think may be better than Reijnders?

Given our availability in the last game I can’t argue with that logic. Unless Pep decides to play Bernie in the middle.

But yeah he would be a proper first team player here, rotating but playing a lot of minutes. He’s a bloody good player. Also seems to be able to play plenty of roles, so at AC they’ve had him as a 6, 8 and 10. We like players that are basically positionless

I remember telling someone in here that Reijnders is a complete midfielder—capable of operating effortlessly across all midfield roles, even though his strengths clearly lie in the offensive third. And what did I get for it? Insults and slander, as if I was speaking blasphemy!

Last year, I was absolutely gutted when we passed on the chance to bring him in. I genuinely thought we’d make a move—only for us to sit on our hands and wait for Gündoğan to arrive on a free. Then came January, and I thought, “Surely now, this is it—we’re pulling the trigger,” but once again, radio silence.

Reijnders is a top-tier player—elegant, technically superb, and tactically razor-sharp. He’s got that rare blend of composure, progression, and incisiveness in the final third that we desperately need. It just makes too much sense. I have to see him in a City shirt—it’s been long overdue.

He is indeed a great player.

With Reijnders I first really got to know about him on here as people posted about him, probably yourself.

Same with Khusanov.

Some players it’s just obvious how good they are and how will they’d fit in here.

He’s what we need—no ifs, no but, a baller so clean, so smooth, so cut.
I have to see him wear our crest, because in City blue—he’d be his best.

I've not seen him play for Milan yet, but he's always impressed me in the games I've seen him play for the Netherlands. Looks like a Gundo regen which we will need if we're moving Gundo, Kova and Bernardo this summer.

Would be a great signing. Exactly what the midfield needs.

I am 70% sure it’s the same guy who told us that Larsson resembles KDB.

Milan bought him for €20.50m two years ago, but Pep went for Kovacic & Nunes.

Yep, he absolutely did—and instead of rectifying those mistakes by going for Neves last June, we doubled down and brought Gündoğan back on a free. Meanwhile, PSG got a free run at one of the best and youngest CDM/box-to-box midfielders out there—Neves!


We didn’t even put up a fight. No pressure. No scare. We just let PSG take him, just like we did with Kvaratskhelia, Hakimi, and Nuno Mendes.


And look—I get it. We can’t sign every top talent. But what frustrates me is that we didn’t even try with some of these players. There was no intent. No urgency. We’ve watched elite-level talent, players there for the taking, walk straight into the arms of other clubs while we hesitated or looked the other way.
