You either lack intelligence or manners; I'll give you the benefit of the doubt, believe it to be the former and will therefore explain.
Phil Foden is one of the world's greatest prospects and I hope he becomes one of the best players in our history. In midfield, we have KDB, DS, BS, PF, IG, FD and OZ. We are interested in a technically accomplished 20-year-old player who can play in a variety of positions. Fans are concerned that a top prospect will have his time limited by such a purchase but the club believe him to be a key long-term part of their strategy and want him to be a lynchpin to help promote the club, academy and local links.
So, PF, BS and KDB are key to our thinking. DS and FLR are 32 and 34. FD, OZ and IG are in the next group.
If PF is a priority, and I believe he is, a new player won't push him out, it will be part of a longer-term plan that will replace an ageing star or a player in the second group. I do not understand why fans cannot get to grips with the fact that one player does not necessarily replace another so directly; does not have an identical skill set and does not necessarily impinge on another's game time in a 70 game season. It is directly because we think so strategically that we lie at the top of the table and are through to the next phase of the CL, despite having a serious injury list.
