Yep, loads of players who 'knew the league' have taken a while to settle for us. Even the successful ones, like Grealish, Stones and Mahrez. Meanwhile, some have come from overseas and fitted straight in like Dias, Haaland and Doku. 'Knows the league' is probably far less important than 'knows the system.'“Knowing the league“ is exactly the same as a manager “knowing the club’s DNA”.

Rodri IS an absolute gem!!Yeah, I was slightly hyperbolic, but City are better than most at creating dossiers on players skills, strengths, character, desire etc.
I’d be slightly surprised if we went for Paulinha, but he does have a release clause.
We have a similar issue to Spurs finding a back up to Kane. Rodri isn’t likely to be displaced, unless we find a absolute gem.
Is he any good and club shop will make a killing on his shirt letters.!:))Andre, Vermeeren, Wieffer, Palacios, Zubimendi
Can’t see this one happening as he doesn’t seem a city player and his age is not what we are looking for .
Is he that good though ?Fernandinho was 29 when he signed for City
Both would be good additions but I don't see this (or Paqueta for that matter) happening in January. I would give the current side a chance for the rest of the season.
Yes and much much better.Is he that good though ?
