Yes they are as they are "indirectly" involved. If it wasn't the case, then what we did with Savio could just be done again. CFG buys for Troyes and loan to Girona, this is not allowed anymore.

Are you missing the word "indirectly" in the tweet or something?

He literally played for them last season... You didn't read the tweet clearly as it says indirectly it's not allowed either. The City Group cannot buy a player for Troyes and loan them to Girona anymore.

The wording of that makes it seem like we have already completed the Savio transfer. Hurray! Probably need 1 more this summer to finalize it all, a cdm backup. But those kdb and ederson links are worrying me, so hopefully we dont need to replace them.

It's pretty easy to give Wharton plenty of minutes. Sometimes when Rodri is rested, Wharton starts in his place. Would love to see a Wharton - Lewis midfield combo to flourish for the future. When Rodri is playing, Wharton can still play next to him in a midfield 2. And sometimes he just...

Doku and KdB were belgiums only threats. Not much you can do when Lukaku is up top.

This is so weird to watch. Absolutely no patterns coached whatsoever. Its all vibes, figure it out boys.

Looks solid. Wouldn't mind him as the Rodri backup either.

Yeah defensively you can see Wharton is better at duels. It's the forward passes and progressive passes from Perrone that I like, as it looks like he is truly a playmaking DM who can set the tempo from the back. Wharton slightly less so. Wharton, while good, looks like he is a good destroyer...

Perrone never looked that short to me, but he definitely isn't Rodri tall. I don't see height as a problem for him. But yeah, the physical part are the question marks. I think he has the "Rodri style" playmaking from deep we want.

Has anybody watched enough of Perrone last season? I feel like alot of the midfielders we are linked to are more box to box (Bruno is more like Gundogan than Rodri). And while I don't mind Kovacic as the Rodri backup (he is not a good 8 as he has little going forward, Rodri becomes more of an...

I'm not sure Palace will sell both Olise and Eze. But if they do, can he do the Gundogan role? Feels like we are set for LW. And in the middle, if Eze comes, I see it more likely Nunes or Kovacic goes than either of Doku or Grealish.

He's really good, but Italians never leave that league.

Disagree. The only player who was doing anything when he came on. Made their best chance with his dribbling. Had a chance where he should have shot but passed, happens, he is young, decision making like that comes with experience. Brazil were just bad, he was the only bright spark, Martinelli...

Guehi as a defender, barely pushing forward.

The back line is Guehi - Stones - Rice - Walker Rice may not have played CB before, but his best qualities are as a defensive player or playing next to an actual playmaking DM (Wharton). Southgate already fucked up by bringing one injury prone LB, Trippier playing is just completely pointless...

Southgate is honestly pretty inept. So many issues with his England set up. Here's my quick easy fix: Out: Trent and Trippier. In: Gordan and Wharton. Play a 4231 with Rice as a CB and Wharton in midfield with Jude. When in possession, Rice pushes up next to Wharton, and Jude pushes up next...

His utility to play cdm and rb is perfect for us. 2 spots we want more depth in.

I think a useful way to frame this is looking at Pep's time here, and seeing how big his squad has been, but also, how many in the squad did he actually use. How many played > 500 minutes (most likely useful players), or how many played between 200 and 500 (passengers but played some minutes...

Williams is some player. Would love to have him at City.
