Rice isnt good enough for this city team i would rather we kept rodri.
He is more than good enough mate. He's better than Rodri in quite a few areas.
He's quicker (and he's not even quick) reads the game better, senses danger, he also tackles. He could probably play centre back in his sleep too.
He doesn't have Rodri's eye for a lofted pass, but people need to start asking different questions of a player we bought to be Fern's long term successor?
When do we see Rodri making an actual tackle, I don't mean when he's caught on the ball and has to then battle it back with his sheer size?
I mean an actual intervention when we lose the ball in transitions, like Fern has done for so long?
Nothing against the guy, a good enough squad player, perhaps, but lacks both the legs and intensity of Fernandinho, which we should have been getting for £60m.
He's actually a bit soft if I'm expressing my own observations, but know he has his fans.

Ederson and Dias are pretty close to MNLAAPThis is just reactionary nonsense that I've got no interest in whatsoever. "Must not leave at any price" doesn't exist in our squad outside of Phil Foden. Everyone else is expendable if they want to go.

Ye but his wages blocks probably 80% of the clubs in the Premier League and probably similar abroad. Personally think Mahrez will stay.Agreed but he is a player I could see moving on, especially if it was for financial gain.

Do you think Rice is a possibility or is that just who you’d like? Not heard anything regarding Rice being a possibility
Just some recent chatter, someone confirmed he was at least flagged to Pep.

I think we need to be very careful of who we sell especially at CB.
Whilst Laporte maybe unhappy about his playing time, he is contracted until 2025 so there's no way we should sell for anything less than £70m-£80m. Stones was on the outer 13 months ago, Laporte could easily force his way back in and the key to our success this year has been the options at the back, keeping us solid. We don't want to be in a situation where we sell a CB and don't replace as it's inevitable one of our CBs would get injured ala the 19/20 season and we're shuffling players around to fit a hole at the back. If Laporte was to leave we would need to replace him, and good CBs are difficult to find.
Sterling or Jesus look a bit more likely to leave, especially if we want Kane and Grealish. Sterling has 2 years left on his deal and whilst I like Sterling, it may be a good time to sell if we can't agree a new deal with him. We don't want another Sane situation in 12 months time. Jesus is a player I can see being used as a makeweight in the Kane deal. I think he'd be quite happy to be Tottenham's main man, the lack of CL football not being as much as an issue to him I reckon. Sterling will want a CL club I think, so that would limit options.

Do you reckon a CDM will come in?

Personally dont want any player to be used. Personally I like Jesus a differently dont want him used.
Would like to see Jesus used more as a winger and Torres used as centre forward.
Sadly I think Sterling might need to move, I have nothing against Sterling I like him and wish he could find his form again. He doesn't hide and keeps trying but sometimes you just need another club to get going again.
Hope I am wrong and Sterling comes back firing on all cylinders next season for City

Have you heard anything about LB targets? I imagine it would be very difficult to offload MendyJust some recent chatter, someone confirmed he was at least flagged to Pep.
Getting to the age where he could make one last big pay day, think would be tempted by that.Ye but his wages blocks probably 80% of the clubs in the Premier League and probably similar abroad. Personally think Mahrez will stay.
