Pol is seriously a top source for any pep stuff but i really cant see how rodri and rice get enough game time to keep them both happy?

Then Rodri gets injured for months and we’re left with a kid as DM to jeopardize the entire season hehe

You are missing my point by quite a distance.I'd be more than ecstatic to recruit Rice to our ranks,but i very much doubt either him or Rodri would be content with the rotation/lack of game time.

What is the evidence that Rodri is unhappy with rotation?
Most players in a Pep team know they will be part of a rotation, and they know it will probably mean titles at the end of the road. But most importantly, I don’t think things are that obvious with Pep, meaning, I don’t think whoever we bring in as the Fernandinho replacement will play 30% of games as opposed to Rodri playing the other 70%. Creativity can take us to unexpected places...

Same source the other week said we wanted Kane ahead of Haaland. It’s a weird one.

You keep praying to the converted.

I didnt state fact,you are ignoring that part of my comments,i only stated my thinking.Both these players are top class Internationals who are currently playing 90% of games.......it isnt unreasonable to think they would be unhappy to expect less.

Again,thats the only point i'm making.

Rodri has started 40+ games this season, that doesnt really leave a lot of room for another player wanting to start 40+ games a season. Fern probably hasnt started 20 games this season and lets be fair, Rodri has been fantastic so why mess with that. I like Rice i really do, but just dont see the point in spending 70/80 million on a position we dont really need and if anything creates a headache for the manager.

I don’t disagree with your point that a top player would want guarantee of playing most of the time. But look at Torres, he’s a top international player as well, and seems happy collecting trophies and waiting for his turn. The opportunity that is City — growing as a player and winning trophies — may trump the uncertainty about game time

Stick Steffen in goal and put Eddy in ; )
