It's Quiet 18 - Wanna ring the bell?

I really don’t get that though as he will never ever be first choice at City, he will only be a squad player and rotation for Rodders.

He would start every week at Newcastle and be playing in the Champs League, he’d be mad to not be keen.
Maybe he backs himself to become the key piece Pep envisioned when he was signed? Not sure how many more examples we need of poor season 1 players who kicked on in season 2 before we trust City and Pep's judgement.
 
Why must we take a chance on him?

Hes not good enough. It was such a poor transfer decision by us even before this shambles of a season he’s just had.

If we can get Rice with him going the other way it would be an absolute god send.

(Seems a nice guy though and popular with all the players but unfortunately he has to go for me)
Play him as a left back.
 
I very much doubt the PL nonsense will put players off - I suspect Txiki’s phone is on fire with agents calling him. I think one of the major issues for this window is accounting for the impact of the last 3 months of this season - players are not going to recover physicallu or mentally in three weeks (they will be exhausted) so we need to refresh things and cover a lengthy lay off for KGB. Kovatic makes perfect sense, knows the league and won’t be around long enough to block the pathway for youth players. I suspect next season we will needto make sure we are still in the mix until the New Year and then see if we can go on the rampage again…. But we shouldn’t underestimate what the last few months took out of all of us... game after game was must win with little margin for error.
We could always do what Klopp did. Finish 5th, season ending in March & blame it on fatigue.

Hahaha
