Enzo Fernandez

£100m on Enzo is a far more guarantee than a similar fee on another english had-half-good-season young player . we have been burnt repeatedly in the past and there are other examples - Rodwell, Philips, Mount, Conor Gallagher, Dele Ali, Mainoo…..lots of promising made the england team type lads always emerge and everyone spunks their load and then a couple of years later they aint developed and/or the trapping of fame and fortune go to their heads.

that said, hes a prick and we have consistently attempted to impose a no dickheads policy which has kept the vibes good.
Quite ironic given he fits that description as well but he’s got a fancy name. The first 6 months of his Chelsea career he was brilliant. Since then he’s been awful
 
Surely only Enzo and Anderson come in if Rodri goes though?

Yeah I'd imagine there's little chance of us spending £200m+ on them if they aren't both desperately needed and if Rodri's still here it's not desperate.

My guess is Anderson needs to happen quickly or he'll end up elsewhere.

Fernandez we can probably take more time with but if Maresca really pushes for us to sign him then we might need to get that done quickly too, or risk losing him to Real Madrid.

That's the majority of our transfer budget gone before we've even looked at what other areas need strengthening.
 
Our ability to recover the ball I think has been as issue for the last few years. If we are after both Enzo and Elliot it will increase our ability for recoveries. With Rodri, Enzo and Elliot in centre mid with NOR advancing when in possession, it makes us so much harder to break down. With a midfield like that in comparison to silva and Rodri/Nico it’s probably quite obvious to see how our second half performances have dropped off a cliff since the turn of the year.

You still need to do something with the ball once you've recovered it. A Rodri / Anderson / Enzo midfield is gonna be a right snoozefest.

Wouldn't overstate how important this has been to our success either. Also not to be confused with not signing winners. You don't need to be a nasty dickhead to be a winner.

it`s the plate spinning between Enzo, Rodri and us with this move. Chelsea also want Trafford now and possibly even Gonzalez but it seems he wants to leave for Spain again.
 
Martin and Tolmie saying both , Martin saying two midfielders this summer from what he’s been told
 
Martin has been spot on with his info, he’s saying we want two midfielders , right back , Winger and maybe a left back also said the Enzo Fernandez interest is legit and Maresca loves him

Cucurella likely then? Ait Nouri has to go for that to happen? Palestra for RB would be great and i`d still love us to try for Diomande.
 
Good player, but I don't want him because of his personality. On the pitch, he is frequently unable to control his emotions. I don't want this sputtering teapot of a player at City.
I couldn't care less if a player is an arrogant dickhead, as long as he tears up the opposition and wins us silverware. We need cold-blooded quality and winners in this midfield, not well-behaved choirboys. Win us the league, and nobody will care about the rest.

Given the past ten years at least, the club obviously care if a player is a dickhead or not

I guess depends on what Maresca makes of the team but with a World Cup the pre season isn’t going to be the most reliable.

I want to see Nico OR in the middle which means sorting out LB but if we have Guehi, Dias, Khusanov at CB can easily see Gvardiol for back in. Especially given how Nico OR has managed to play in that role.
 
I reckon he'll end up at Madrid. Madrid will probably sell the French kid who had a fight with Valverde and Fernandez will go there.

Depends if he wants to stay in England and play for us under Maresca? Madrid is still a basket case and its even more laughable that they think Jose wont add to the chaos?!

Didn't he recently say he'd like to live in Madrid one day? That was the whole reason he didn't play against us
