It's Quiet Thread 15 - Txiki Blinders

who do you drop though, as he will demand first team football. We’d then end up in a similar scenario with unhappy players

Fairly sure his role would be made clear before we signed him.

It's not the hardest job in the world. You would be surprised, how many TD's there are, at different clubs, that actually never have been involved in playing football on a high level. There are other skills, which are far more important ;).

I wouldn’t argue that it’s not the hardest job in the world (depending upon if you’re good at it or not - good = easy / not good = not so easy) but I would argue that to get that job, at City, you’ll need to be the best there is at it or thereabouts.
My point, however much padded with mirth and convivial bonhomie, was that City is managed by serious people who are perfectly placed to understand what they want from each employee, and that they’ll employ on that basis, and with all due diligence.
Thus, if anyone on here thinks that City are employing a duffer, and that they could do a better job, then they shouldn’t be wasting time putting lost paragraphs into a word eating machine like this one they should be busy sending their amazing CV in to the club.

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.

I'm with you Tolmie.

Rodri isn't much better than Fernando or Javi Garcia.

He is basically a DM who cannot tackle or run. He does manage a 5 yard square pass no bother. He has had 2 seasons to improve but, for me, is no better now than when he 1st arrived. Need somebody with pace for his position.

I’ve been criticized for pointing out how recent certain members are, and how very suspiciously specific the scope or their comments are. But it does make you wonder what’s the agenda, or who’s behind them lol

Dippers/Rags or a hybrid either way they stink the place out on a daily basis.

Well if you think that you footballs not for you.

according to you, who thinks people shouldn’t have opinions that differ from yours. Perhaps forums aren’t for you?
