Declan Rice

Would love this kid

Phillips performance with the mic at the parade opened my eyes to what an integral part of the squad he is

He deserves another season just based off that

Don’t city have right of first refusal or buy back clause ? I would bring him back , really impressed with his defensive and positional awareness.

No
That does come into effect until 2024 season at which time he'll have long gone from Southampton.

they have a match bid on this year

I’d like Rice here but I’m certainly not going to lose any sleep if he goes elsewhere (same with Bellingham).

Looks like Bernardo is off but that Gundo will stay, I’d love to add Lavia into the mix with Kovacic.

Rodri
Lavia
Kovacic
Gundogan
KDB

Looks good to me. Phillips more than welcome to stay and fight but can’t see it and think he’ll be off.

It’s got everything that midfield and plenty of options for rotation too.

Swap Philips for Rice with cash balance.

Football wise it would seem to work for all parties.

Except Phillips who wants to stay

Pep is going full on pulis next season;)

Does young delap have a long throw

Except Phillips who wants to stay

Or maybe wants a pay off on remaining years of contract.

He would want a very long one to throw it into the Etihad penalty area from whichever teams ground he will be playing at next season.

How would this work? Work along side Rodri?
