Rico Lewis | Set to sign a new 5-year contract (pg33)

I personally hope he doesn’t go.
He’s a great player and a Blue.
He’s still developing, and has a high ceiling.
Why would we let him go and retain the likes of Nunes? Now there’s a player we could bin. Should never have been here in the first place.

Looked like there was more about him tonight. Meaner. Hungrier. Whether that’s a fight or flight response to potentially being told he can leave or whether he’s just growing up and into his role, I don’t know, but he looked great today.

He’s been in the squad for 2 and a half years so all of the above should be normal anyway but today seemed different.

Interesting to see if that changes Pep’s mind at all - especially given we don’t exactly have a replacement lined up (see Rodrygo/Savinho) if he does go.

I thought he looked a little stockier like he had bulked up a bit. Had a good game particularly in the tight spaces.Stones back gave him to licence to roam

Can see Rico being a good RB for us but nothing more. I'd love to be proven wrong but can't see him becoming world class. Unless were swapping him for someone who is already world class, selling him makes zero sense especially after today's performance.
 
Games like today were never the problem. When we dominate, it suits Rico's strengths. It's when we have to defend quite a bit, the cracks start to show. Curious to see how it all develops. He won't be our starting right back, so it's down to him whether he wants to play regularly or is happy being rotated a considerable amount.
 
We just end up with 1 less, who do we replace him with considering he is HG and AT.

Don’t massively think he is one we end up improving on in this window and at £30 million, I doubt his value would drop.

Hold on for now would be my take.
 
He was great first game last season against chelsea. Needs to keep up first game standard throughout the season
 
Played very well today and suots us when we play Bobb as Bobb keeps the width . However when if we play Foden or Cherki on the right , they are more likely to drift inside and i cant help feeling that Nunes is a better option in thay formation to give is some width in attack .
Although i voted Sell , the highly unlikely condition that we somehow managed to get Livramemto remains .
Ive never been critical about Lewis he bleeds blue and has given his all in amy postition hes been asked to, including times when the team as a whole has been strugling, I wouldnt be disapointed with him staying
 
Some shite still being spoken about rico, he moves into midfield from rb very tidy player, said before I don't mind him or anyone else being sold if there is an upgrade waiting to join if not a very useful and talented squad player
