The rags were willing to pay it mate, thankfully he wouldn't go there. Just hope they aren't in for him in the summer and he has a change of mind if they get CL football. That would be a sickener.His wages are obscene however. Can't see him taking a wage cut.
Agree generally, but isn’t there a stat that without KDB in team we are almost if not more successful as when he does play (?). And no, I’m not suggesting we shouldn’t play him etc.I have a feeling that this may not be our year. Some of this is because Kevin isn't playing to his typical level, and I think in the past, particularly during the year he was injured, we could make up the difference. But we are getting a look at what it will look like when he's getting too old to compete at the highest level. I don't think he's there yet, but I don't think people understand what he means to our success. So we just need to find the next Kevin de Bruyne. Easy, right?
Gomez is the embodiment of ‘something is not always better than nothing’. And we no longer actually play with a left back in the traditional sense. Our ‘left back’ is really a left centre back in a back 3. So if we’re to sign anyone, it actually makes more sense to me to buy someone to replace Laporte long term than it does to replace Cancelo. Gvardiol basically.I don't understand the clubs aversion to a left back. I wasn't expecting them to sign one within a 24 hours but this has been what, 5 or 6 windows in a row its been a clear need and hasn't been addressed? Very odd. I get not wanting to overpay and there's a lack of talented LBs on the market but something has to he better than nothing at this point.
Well, why? He's good. But he's not what we need, really. We already have everything he does, in spades.Cannot understand the reaction to Maddison. Two-footed, brilliant dribbler/creator with great goalscoring potential and set piece ability. Familiar with the league. More of a goal threat than anything we have barring KDB. One year remaining on contract and currently 26 years old.
If he has been constantly able to make things happen for a drab Leicester side year in year out, he might be able to do the same for City.
If they get Dejong and a top striker they will be serious title challengers.The rags were willing to pay it mate, thankfully he wouldn't go there. Just hope they aren't in for him in the summer and he has a change of mind if they get CL football. That would be a sickener.
I tend to disagree. Outside KDB and Foden we lack a creative player who can conjure something out of nothing through dribbling or shooting from distance. He’s also a better passer/final third decision maker than anybody else IMO.Well, why? He's good. But he's not what we need, really. We already have everything he does, in spades.
