Yeah, two left feet de bruyne, all left foot foden, Rodri big and clumsy holding things together.
We're going to struggle.

What you say makes sense.I’m convinced we should move Phil back into midfield and sign a left winger, someone fast as fuck and likes scoring goals. To much to ask for maybe, but I think that’s the way to go.
DM: Rodri, New versatile DM
CM: Bernardo, Foden, KDB, Mcatee
I think that’s enough in midfield and even Grealish could drop back into midfield if we signed a LW.
I could certainly see City only signing one MF, unless we can get the right players on the right deal.
I agree Foden/ Jack/ Zin/ Mahrez can all play there.
We seem happy to be one short (CDM 19, CB 20, ST 21). However, it could well cost us at some point, although overall we have coped well.
An extra wide player would be good to incorporate into the team, as potentially Jesus, Mahrez and Sterling could all be out by end of next season.
I don’t see McAtee getting any game time in the middle. He will have to earn his stripes out wide first (seems to be the Pep way).
Also a good chance Phil makes that position his own and we wouldn’t need one the following season, although it does make it a lot of changes to our wide players. Hence with the 1 season they seem to take to learn, could definitely do with 1 this season.
Was the plan not always to move Grealish to mdifield? As a Bernardo replacement? Pep tired of Sterling and Jesus missing chances so he signed 3 of the most highly rated forwards in their respective leagues lol. (Obvs Felix not signed, just if that happened to be)

I'm not TH, but we aren't spending 100M on Declan Rice, when we already have Rodri.@tolmie's hairdoo did you say we are not getting Rice

2 of the three are still here. We weren’t entirely wrong.Remember years ago when we thought Sterling Sane Jesus would be our front three for years, God how things change

I think Pep would want FDJ 100%. It will be a question of financing the deals we need to do this summer that dictates how likely we are to signing him.From the way TH is saying it, seems like De Jong wants City more than City want De Jong, and if I were him I'd want City too if my other option was the Black Hole in the centre of Salford.
Would you rather a cheaper midfielder come in and we strength at full back more strongly, or take FDJ and potentially penny pinch at fullback again?
