The YouTube clips I can't watch them always make me laugh all the good bits where's the part where he misplaces loads of passes. Skyes a shot from 5 yards out over the bar. All the real stuff.
I think he is a good player by the way. Will Milan do business with us for there key player
 
If we were to sign Reijnders does that end our interest in MGW? Pep commented recently that he wants to continue to work with a small squad and that we should anticipate a small number of transfers.
Probably not. Reijnders will take the bulk of Gundogan’s minutes (3,171) and Gibbs-White would presumably account for de Bruyne’s (2,391). I appreciate that Rodri, Foden, and Gonzalez also need minutes, but we need real runners if we’re to develop another style of play. It might still be a tad crowded for Guardiola, but Bernardo and Gundogan will be entering their final seasons.
Of course, any further incomings are predicated on outgoings and that’s even harder to predict.

Think I expect Gonzalez to take minutes from Gundo. Is he not more of an 8?

I think he could play both positions, but we need to get him comfortable deputising for Rodri. If we flog Rodri into the ground and he has more injuries, then we'll be back to square one.

Reijnders has a phenomenal engine and we should have bought him to replace Gundogan in 2023.

I actually expect Nico to be the defensive midfielder and Rodri to step forward, just look at the assists and goals that Rodri has in the last few years, he would grab 20 g+a every season if he was playing further forward.

Rodri is a very powerful runner.

Nico at the base, Rodri and this lad as the other midfielders. One very physical and technically gifted midfield

Nico is more of an 8 than a 6. Rodri is a powerful runner which makes him an ideal 6.
