look at the post above I think pep will love nicolo barella. him along with bellinghm will solve our midfield issues for half a decade. bellingham can provide the running while barella could provide the technicality.Really don't know. Bellingham seems like an obvious choice..he has clear qualities but I don't think he is technically that gifted.
Dejong is another good player but potential attitude issue...works he cope in the prem or would we have a bit of a mard arse?
I'm jot suggesting that at all as firstly its just rumours at present (no disrespect to TH). I just think that maddison although a good player isn't ever going to be at the level of previous midfielders......I also think they have got it wrong with kelvin Phillips and I know its not popular but also with Grealish..certainly for the money they paid ( not the players fault) ..again some who although he has improved is not going to reach the top level of a kdb or David Silva for instance ....that's the level we need yo be aiming for.They haven’t got much wrong especially when it comes to midfielders, but yes they could get the odd one wrong. That isn’t what you are suggesting though, you seem to think they are getting almost every midfield target wrong, that would be highly unlikely IMO.
There is one other already world class player who is ready to step up to the next level. the name is nicolo barella. my choice to pair with Rodri in the midfield and then also we can buy bellingham and allow him a couple of years to grow into his potential.
If we sign 2 mids who would you go for?
I said on another thread De Jong and Bellingham.
He's a very good player but just do not see him as a player for City, we barely operate with 10s
Your right mateThere's a reason Maddison has one England appearance by the age of 26 - he's just not that good. And people want him to replace Bernardo?
And Chilwell? Really? Do people want us to win our first CL or would you rather we collect a sub-par Brexit pack fit for the treatment room? Give me strength.
A CL winner who has become injury plagued. He'd be about as much use to us as Phillips.Your right mate
Why would anyone wanting to win the champions league buy the champions league winner Ben chilwell????
Who did we sign? I had to go to bed.
