He may not have the qualities to be a dedicated top class RB either. Wait and see is the watchword with Rico I feel.

Out of all the positions the right back successor plan is the most baffling piece.

City once owned the candidates like Porro and Frimpong but ignored not even gave them a chance of try.

Terrible investment.

Same goes with central midfielders. We have plenty of candidates but never really invested any game time to get them ready when we were winning games. But invested all resources to transform a striker a right back a center back to be a center midfielder. In my eyes a striker or a right back has very little chance to become a top level midfielder. So why bother to invest the game time?

That is why I don't trust the current board to do the "rebuild". Some new eyes and fresh minds are needed.

I think a bit of a reset is needed but not sure in what capacity. It's clear a rebuild is required, and possibly a substantial one. The picture is becoming clearer during this horror run as to what positions need sorting. The RB slot is nearly top of the list.

Here is my take on the current situation.

Last summer we should have refreshed an ageing squad, we have got away with having a small squad for four years, which, with no injuries is fine, this is now catching up with the squad. We have never found a decent back up for Rodri and letting Alvarez go without a replacement was criminal by the management.

Add to that, all the injuries we have had this year has severely hampered the squad as we cannot rotate/rest the ageing players who are absolutely shattered.

For me, we need at least 3 signings in January just to give Haaland, Gundo, Silva a well earned rest, they are dead on there feet.

Dias should be made captain for the rest of the season as Walker is NOT a captain.

In the summer, breaks my heart to say this, but, KDB, WALKER, EDERSON, GUNDO, SILVA , SAVHINO, NUNEZ, MCATEE all need to be moved on, the first 5 have all past there best days unfortunately and the squad needs a rebuild.

The players that are fit are physically exhausted because of poor management decisions last summer and the reliance of Rodri and a small squad.
