Disagree our squad is anti-maresca.... I'd even go as far to say the opposite Do think that its a bit tricky playing BOTH Nunes and NOR as full backs under his system as neither want to form part of a back 3 Individually though, both Nunes and NOR being natural midfielders are more than...

World's truely gine mad, so hard to get any value anymore People who think Savinho has no end product wil love this guy

And they're happy to get rid of him

Outside of the game agaisnt where he was class can't say ive seen too much of him Think its a massive risk going for a player with only 1 top flight season behind him (only 20starts as well). He did have a decent season in Ligue 2 when Bournemouth bought him Surely he wants/needs gametime at...

Also the difference with PSG is that most of the teams in the Prem have reverted to what I would call a traditional #9 Haaland, Isak, Sesko, Gyokeres, Watkins, Thiago etc. In that white they can influence play they primarily hold the line and stay focal against a low block Dembele is a bit...

Prefer Palestra/Read over Porro/Gusto Interested to see how it pans out, especially as you'd imagine the Dippers and United also want a rightback

Our squad is pretty big though, if anything this is a good thing as it trims the fat and allows some quality which we're lacking Lets assume Marmoush, Savinho, Nico G, Reijnders, Trafford, Ake (and Kovacic and Lewis) all leave and for argument sake lets throw in Gvardiol which i cant see...

This just isn’t true though is it 9 G/A in his debut prem season last year (off 21 starts) 19 G/A in La Liga for Girona You can say his end product isnt good enough, but saying he can't score or assist is just nonsense and I say that as someone who wants Savinho sold this summer

From what ive heard from both their fanbase, its very very unlikely he'll change formation.... hes very much Amorim coded in he plays a certain formation and isn’t that flexible

I think he's a magnificent player and one I'd happily enjoy being back in a City shirt but not sure it makes sense atm given the squad issues atm He's best off the left which is Dokus prefered position, and Maresca relies on his wingers being able to win 1v1 against a full back which screams...

Isnt PSR done away with next year in favour of squad-to-cost ratio?

Somewhat agree, but think that graph shows why he wants to move He's 25, he's out of contract next summer and hes never successfully made the breakthrough into the first team as a permanent fixture They're going to spend big on a new midfielder like Wharton, Szoboszlai is their best player...

They need a midfielder rebuild Gravenberch isn't a #6, the club know that as do the fans he's not good enough to protect the defence Mac Allister looks like hes been run into the ground, they will likely sell him Curtis Jones is flirting with leaving as he isnt good enough to be a mainstay...

Why does that matter, the best ever version of Rodri already played for us. Yea he can recover his form but also maybe he won't, hes played a lot of football and is in his 30s, he will never reach his peak level

Still rather he go for free We get a year of him whike Maresca gets his feet under him and then Rdori gets a huge payday from Real due to the freebie We dont need the money we make from his sale
