This is why the club are targeting players like bruno g. and kimmich, they can play 6/8 and give rodri rest. That is also why wharton doesn't make sense for him as he needs game minutes to develop and if he plays with rodri with rodri as the #8 it defeats the purpose of giving rodri rest. You are proving my point.it does while he's learning, no one is coming in and just playing when Rodri cant. it'd be 10 games a season at best. You either get someone who can play 6/8 or no one at all
Rodri's ability and superb ability to play in the final third is something we need to see more of.Rodri is immense as an 8 as well though. They could play together.
So we buy him now and loan him straight back for the season. If we still want him next season that's fine, if not, we'll at least get our money back if not make a profit barring a total disaster.He’s played 15 Premier League games. I’d rather City go after him in another year or maybe two — see if he can sustain the same level of quality. I don’t think the sample size is anywhere near big enough to spend the £60m+ they would ask for.
Well it’s one or the other!!That missing hyphen is very important there, hopefully Pep re-signs and not resigns!
He can play with or without Rodri IMO, with or without a formation adjustment. He's much more likely to accept being in and out than the names mentioned.This is why the club are targeting players like bruno g. and kimmich, they can play 6/8 and give rodri rest.

I remember on the radio hearing what I thought was " City definitely need to sign Ings"That missing hyphen is very important there, hopefully Pep re-signs and not resigns!

So what you're saying is sell Rodri, and replace him with two equal talented players so they can rotate? Fuck it I'm in!I think we are looking at this all wrong. I think Rodri is the problem. He's too good and nobody is going to get game time.
