He's playing in tonight's game, BFC v SUFC, I'm going to watch it and ill scrutinise Tommy's role and performance, however based on the FA cup against Wrexham it looked to me like he plays in the same position as Rodri. One thing for sure, Tommy gets around the pitch a lot quicker than Rodri whose lack of real pace is the only attribute that's stops him from being the best CDM on the planet...when did he become a dm ?

Any footballing opinion you have is completely null and void if you actually believe this.Rodri whose lack of real pace is the only attribute that's stops him from being the best CDM on the planet...
If Tommy Doyle is good enough for City, then he will be here next season. 99.9% chance he is not and hopefully Sheff Utd go up and give us a nice 15-20m and a sell on clause.

Pace is only one attribute of any player, Rodri has everything else, he's technically brilliant, strong as an ox, great vision and decision making is superb. However if you think he's fast then you must watch at x2 speed, if he gets caught out of position he rarely recovers using speed in the way that eg Fernandinho used to. That's was my only point, I wasn't suggesting TD was his match in any other department.Any footballing opinion you have is completely null and void if you actually believe this.

Rodri is the best DMF player in Europe, end of story.Pace is only one attribute of any player, Rodri has everything else, he's technically brilliant, strong as an ox, great vision and decision making is superb.

Player of the season closely followed by Ake and Haaland. If Rodri gets injured before the end of the season we are in serious trouble most others can be replaced he can’t, Philips isn’t good enough.Rodri is the best DMF player in Europe, end of story.

And by extension the best in the world, let's be honest. Don't really care if people think it's disrespectful - if anyone in South America or Asia was as good as him, they would be here instead of there.
Not going to argue with that, he is simply an outstanding player, we are very lucky to be seeing him in our shirt and in his prime.And by extension the best in the world, let's be honest. Don't really care if people think it's disrespectful - if anyone in South America or Asia was as good as him, they would be here instead of there.
And the best thing of all for me, he gets the club, he has become one of us.
The strength in our squad is the players tactical flexibility.
We dont want a rodri back up. A rodri back up doesnt play because rodri is the best around.
We need a 6/8 hybrid like gundo was at the start for city. Where he rotated silva and fern.
Since silva left hes moved into the 8 full time to be the creator/tempo maker and hasnt rotated into the 6 because rodri has been so good, but also because he doesnt have the legs for a 6 in our team.
Having a pure rodri back up in phillips is a waste because he cant play elsewhere so sits on the bench because every game is must win.
Can bellingham be a 6/8 rotator?
Is mac allister better placed?
Can rice do it?
Whoever we sign needs to be able to do both.
Then if bernardo leaves we also need a wing/8 rotator which feels like foden now grealish is improving his goal involvement.
So then you replace bernardo with a winger/striker
Huge transfer iterations this summer depending on who leaves
