How do some people still not understand a squad system and rotation, we've had pep for years now. Amazing.
How do some people not understand that the squad won't be any stronger but our bank balance and ability to operate within FFP for the rest of the season would become more difficult?

No it wouldnt.How do some people not understand that the squad won't be any stronger but our bank balance and ability to operate within FFP for the rest of the season would become more difficult?
anybody know if this was really posted
I think this would get the deal done- only issue is doesn’t sound like Phillips has any interest in going- so basically can’t see this deal being done

We won a treble 5 days ago.
I think the manager knows enough about footballers, and the executives enough about running a football club that we don't have to second guess transfers any more.
Obviously he wouldn't, nor would he replace Stones. So if we buy him it would be because Pep thinks he can play further forward.
If we play 57-8 games next season, that's 115 games for the positions of Rodri and Stones. Plus Stones may be used as a typical CB to rotate Akanji/Dias. I don't think Pep will start regularly both Rodri and Stones in their current positions plus Rice in Gundo's role. But he won't need to because he can give many starts to Rice anyway.
In short: Rice can start about 40 games next to Rodri/Stones. That's more than enough for a 1st season under Pep.
I’m not sure where you’ve got the impression that Rice isn’t a great player. He still has a fair bit to go before he reaches his ceiling but I’ve no doubt under Peps guidance he would be another in a long list of unfancied signings that prove many people wrong.How do some people not understand that the squad won't be any stronger but our bank balance and ability to operate within FFP for the rest of the season would become more difficult?
I’m fairly ambivalent about the links tbh and wouldn’t exactly be downhearted to see him go elsewhere, but he’s a far better player than some on here give him credit for.

,I've had a long hot day, been up since 3am, it might be me but I haven't got a fucking clue what that means
So he would replace Rodri ?
If we get him a big if He be part of our team and get plenty of game time! Gundo goes silva goes he can play in many positions as well as with Rodri of the stones role! Players get injured through a season! Seems fans always look for the negative in everything! Like I posted before there is a lot of none city fans on he posted in bad faith because they are mard arses who don’t like Man City being top of the pile winning everything…
