that's crazy, i'm sorry. you want to pay 90m for a fucking backup CDM, I don't know how to respond to this seriously, it's such a wild argument. You've played too much fm mate.CDM is not a position in a Pep team that you half arse with a 30 to 40 million player that may be able to have qualities to play the role.
CDM is the most important part to Peps gameplan it's where possession is recycled and where most of our attacks start. Rodri is the lynch pin to what gives us control. It's why teams target him so much he's the link between defence to attack
You want a "Back up" in that position to slot in straight away and do the Job Rodri does. You won't find one for a cheap price. With similar qualities to Rodri. Frenkie de Jong maybe but does he have the physical attributes that Rice has.
Plus with Rice you are not just buying a CDM, he seems to have been playing more box to box this season adding goals to his game.
80 to 90 mil would be a bargain for what we would gain in the long run.
Why does it have to be "backup" CDM. He could join in the summer and Pep will decide that Rice is first choice. Rice might be twice the player Rodri is in our system, who knows.that's crazy, i'm sorry. you want to pay 90m for a fucking backup CDM, I don't know how to respond to this seriously, it's such a wild argument.

I don’t know who we will get, I would be very surprised if its either Rice or De Jong though. I doubt myself we would pay anywhere near £90 mill. Not in a year we are hoping to spend on a striker plus fees. I expect Rice to go to Chelsea and De Jong to stay where he is. Who knows though.that's crazy, i'm sorry. you want to pay 90m for a fucking backup CDM, I don't know how to respond to this seriously, it's such a wild argument. You've played too much fm mate.
But we planned to spend same if not more on Grealish + Kane, no? We’re financially even better positioned for investments next summerI don’t know who we will get, I would be very surprised if its either Rice or De Jong though.

Maybe we will, still doubt it will be either of those though.But we planned to spend same if not more on Grealish + Kane, no? We’re financially even better positioned for investments next summer

Think he’d be wasted there to be honest.So you weren't at the etihad, when a young Declan Rice played at CB and put in a brilliant performance, Pep has been fan ever since this
More to the point I’d guess he thinks he’d be wasted there.Think he’d be wasted there to be honest.
No one is signing him to play CB lolThink he’d be wasted there to be honest.
And yet he fucked about with it in the Champions League final, I still can't believe he did that.
