I haven't watched a ton of him, would he be an upgrade on Gundogan in the pivot role assuming Ilkay is fit? They have similar bodytypes; it would seem to be somewhat duplicitive, especially because we have Danilo to cover right back.
Is it not for the convenience of having the opportunity of something resembling a B team as La Liga regulars?Still don't get why we are spending quite so much on fitting out Girona.

Pretty much. Having your academy lads play against the likes of Barca, Madrid, Atletico, Sevilla, Villareal, Bilbao...it's too good. Imagine Maffeo competing against some of the absolute best in the game. If he really makes it there, he's dead set to start for City. This was a very clever business move.Is it not for the convenience of having the opportunity of something resembling a B team as La Liga regulars?

Can just see the Sheik singing this; My Girona;City own a large part of Girona.
Having a club in La Liga is invaluable. Keeping them up will be a major priority. Players like Garcia, Maffeo, etc will finally test themselves against the best in the world. Brilliant move by City to cooperate with Girona.
The last time he got a red card, the seemingly frequent occurrence of which got him his 'psycho' rep, was 6 years ago. Think you ought to have watched a bit of la liga in the mean time :/
Irrespective, Pepe is not a center back to play passing football and contribute to build ups. Never has been. That's enough of a reason I reckon he wasn't targeted.
