I'll form an opinion based on 45 minutes of football. I can't help but do so.I disagree. In my opinion, we do have a top-class defensive midfielder and we don't play with an out and out forward anyway. This player is involved in goal after goal but regardless, the time to judge is not now, not by any means.
We don't have a top class defensive midfielder. Fernandinho is too old now, and Rodri is not mobile enough. City are an elite side. We need the very best players to win titles and the Champions League. IMO City's squad has some big holes in it.
You put Foden alongside Grealish I don't even see Grealish. It's like Barcelona buying Coutinho when they had Messi.
