It's Quiet 18 - Wanna ring the bell?

[The Blue Eh]

I think all evidence under Pep points to any young creative attacking player being a winger for at least a season or two if they come to us.

Probably one of the reasons Bellingham didn’t want to join City. ;-)

True, who in their right mind would want to have their career be set back by playing on the wing for a Pep team? Just look at Foden, Messi, Henry, Villa, Robben and Ribery — creative players whose careers went nowhere. ;-)

The slide to mediocrity. It started with Phillips, let’s hope the powers that be wake up and full tilt for world beaters

Money is only a partial indicator of potential success. For every Philips, there's a Fernandinho. For every Mangala, there's an Akanji.

I was excited about Philips, as were most of us in truth & upto last August, I was hoping he'd have a far better second season. However, all that changed with Rodri's interview in the Fail about playing too much football & fearing for his health.

For me that was obviously directed at Kalvin, & there's no way Rodri would've given those comments without City being aware & agreeing.

In November, Pep apologised to Philips for not playing him, & said he was such a lovely guy. But crucially he said loan & permanent offers had come in for him which were put to the player & he declined the moves & opted to stay & fight for his place.

My position toward Philips changed with Rodri's interview & hardened after Pep's press conference. They see him in training every day & know him best.

With all the best will & effort in the world, his signing was a mistake. He left for WHU & his career has tanked further.

In terms of signings, we win some, we lose some.

I see there still some people speculating and making up on assumption straight out of their ass based on Rodri interview.

I said it again don't paint Rodri as this somekind bad guy who will not hesitate to slag off his own teammate in public interview regardless whether he is not directly mentioning the player in question or not.

But sure just keep spouting nonsense and presenting it like an absolute fact.

I haven’t seen any Rodri backlash?

By all accounts he’s going to sign a new deal in the summer that makes him one of the highest paid players we have and secure his future for the foreseeable future

He’s got limited options. Most clubs he'd sign for can’t afford his fee.

The ones that can, he probably doesn’t want to go to.

I heard a rumour last week that Barca would offer the £50m, but over multiple years. If we don’t accept that, then his only other options are PSG or being a makeweight in a Joao Neves deal.

Latter option is the second best option. 1st is staying

He’s the Chelsea ITK who said Musiala is city bound. Called Nagelsmann staying at DFB too.
