Here you go. He plays for Bristol City too haha. Defender. Maybe Txixi is working on it tonight for the dream Flint Stones partnership. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aden_Flint

Obviously we would need to make Flint Captain.

And if we signed Shane Long, we'd could field Long, John (Stones), Silva

I dread the day Dave retires because it will be impossible to replace him. His namesake and Ilkay are both fine players, but they are not in the same league as him and this season he has taken his game to new heights. The only player I see as possibly matching his ability is Isco at Madrid who has a huge release clause and its unlikely leave Spain anyway.

I don't think it works like that. It's virtually impossible to buy a like for like replacement for any great player and just carry on playing seamlessly as though nothing had changed. The great clamour on these pages to sign Pogba was because he was seen as a direct replacement for Yaya. The thinking being that he was a similar build and playing style and under Yaya's tutelage would become his successor. It didn't happen and I think we're all relieved that it didn't. Similarly, when David's time comes to hang up his boots, a replacement will be found, but rather than try and turn him into a Silva clone the team will adapt and learn to play to his and the rest of the teams strengths.

I'd say Guardiola would love Long, he'd be amazing in a pressing team.

He’s a blue as well so he’d be even more of a pressing machine for us
