Whether he stays that long or not he will leave us in superb shape unlike a certain GPC.

@eversince 76. Have you seen him play Eric, live or on TV in Holland?

Watching him against Willem tonight.
When on the ball oozes class & strokes the ball about effortlessly & hardly gets caught in possession - where then again this is the Eredivisie where each Ajax player seems to get an eternity on the ball.
However to me Fernandinho is far more disciplined in defending & doesn't get brushed off the ball as easy as De Jong. We'll definitely miss him being that last man/tackle/body in the way once he eventually gets replaced & if we do bag De Jong will need to work on that part of his game as a CDM - can't deny his technical ability though.

We need more than 1 player though. Have City ever not been in need of more Fullbacks? Ever? :-)Pep says maybe one more player next season.
Looks like Frenkie is our number 1 target.

Ndombele for me. A far better tackler and very much in the Fernandinho style. Neves is not what we need and De Jong's tackling is suss.Ndombele vs De Jong vs Neves

Yea I don’t know how many will contain themselves if we only get one.
Shiny new tony syndrome will drive them crazy when we don’t buy de Ligt and Alex Sandro.
Maybe I'm too confident but we won't go wrong signing either one of them. Although I think the de Jong has greatest potentialNdombele vs De Jong vs Neves
