No , he has already signed, agreed , done and dusted, I read it on the transfer thread, must be true.

Numbers ?
Lot of games & Foden still a kid, so is likely to hit bad spells, or need time out, Gundogan not the best injury record, Fern old, KDB needs looking after, Bernardo been a bit shot, just an extra quality option maybe ?
I just don't understand how a net expensive signing doesn't leapfrog Foden in the pecking order. And he's already wasted the vast majority of this season playing second fiddle to a declining David and an unspectacular Gundogan.
The numbers could be made up with an academy player similar to Garcia.

We haven't given enough games to any young midfielders, to test that out though.
I would be looking at a Fernandinho type player personally but I can imagine why Pep might want another kind in there.
He has alluded to Foden maybe playing deeper sometimes, too.

Aouar will be the replacement for Silva. Different kind of player to Foden, who poses more of a threat on goal. Aouar will be the player who finds the space between lines and the one who threads the needle. I imagine one of the reasons we offered Silva a one-year extension was that he could have passed on his expertise.

Well that's the other way I could see this guy working. If he comes in and we convert him into a sort of hybrid who can play as a holding midfielder then we've effectively got a future Gundogan replacement. But then I don't know if we'll be sat here a couple of years down the line complaining about his lack of defensive prowess.

If we replaced Gundogan, Otamendi, Garcia & Zinchenko in one window, I'd shit myself to death out of pure happiness.
Meh, who needs that kind of thing.

He'll have to accept it if he signs for City.
exactly....if the likes of KDB and Kun can accept rotation....anyone can

Doubt it. As I pointed out elsewhere, Juventus were linked with him earlier in the year but that seemed to be the normal chatter and quickly died down. Indeed, I’ve long felt that we’ve had an agreement with Lyon for Aouar, perhaps going back a season, and if he weren’t still in the Champions League, his signing would have already been announced. Let’s see what next week brings.
