Just watched this video on how he his viewed across the football community

Special , special player - we need to let him go at the end of this season and remember the player he was not the player he is now


He still not that bad when fit! That’s been the struggle. That and playing him second striker for the high press!!!!

The problem with Kevin was that he’s a player that needs rhythm to produce his best , he thrives on playing twice a week

Can he do that now at his age , can he adjust to playing once a week and still deliver consistently

when I watch him now , he always looks like he’s in that coming back from injury phase where he’s miss placing crosses or passes

Purely for sentimental reasons I don't want him to go out like this. We are limping towards the end of the season and I want Kev to go out on a high (which could still happen I guess!) but I wouldn't be giving him another contract if it was me.
 
a good move if it means that Gundogan, Bernardo and Grealish will definitely leave.
We have no more room for enormous salaries and old players. We need young blood.Wirtz/Musiala? (which also costs with their weekly wages)
I could be wrong, but i just don't have the feeling Wirtz or Musiala are on our radar :(
 
He is not. If you give him space he can play. But in high intensity games he does not perform.
i think his stamina (engine) has been gone for sometime, even before the treble season. But he used to be able to make up for it with brilliance in other areas. Now that the other qualities have dwindled, the lack of stamina is showing. Even his ball striking prowess has vanished, it's really sad to see

I don't think any attacking players are.

And tbh, goal scoring and creating is not a problem.

Well, maybe scoring, we make good chances and the stats show this, I'm sure that's why we bought Marmoush.

But we need to be safer in the back, build up, and defending transitions.

Any buys in the summer are likely defenders or central midfielder, along with a keeper

Still think we badly need a creative number 8/10 with Bernado, Gundo and KDB all on the way out. Sorted for wingers, strikers and centre backs. So a top class midfielder and right back and we should be good to go again by next season.

I think only 2 of those 3 leave and one stays to rotate with our shiny new toy.

Well, surely Gundo goes. KDB who knows but we definitely need one more who’s an upgrade on Bernado in the creative sense. Thought Foden would have been perfect by now but really don’t see it anymore.

I personally think that player is Oscar Bobb.

I don't think Pep plans for him to be a long term RW, that'll be Savio, Foden or Nunes most likely.

Yeah, i agree with you that i think he could be. Got really high hopes for him.
 
30 minute Kev is probably the best Kev we see. (As long as we're not already 4-1 down).

I disagree about the centre backs. We can’t go into another season relying on Stones and Ake. I love them both but 1 should go and another come in.

Yeah maybe, but with 2 we’ve just spent 60 odd million on we’ve currently got 6.

He has long-term plans for Nunes that doesn't involve a transfer the fuck out of City? If so, he's lost it. Nunes is weapons grade football kryptonite.
