Joshua Kimmich

[TheBlueCat]

I love Rico but let's be realistic, Kimmich is on another level.

Maybe, but not for long

 

[Dax777]

He is 10 years older, to be fair.

Nah! I personally don't fancy Kimmich but he is light-years ahead of Rico. Similar utility value. But way better. His vision, Early balls and long balls are tools Rico doesn't even begin to have yet.

He'll most definitely be way better than Rico.

Outside of Pep's penchant for sometime doing the unthinkable ( i.e. playing Lewis in Midfield).there really isn't any midfielder at City Rico is better than. Rodri, Kova, Nunes, Bernardo, Phil, Jack, and Kev are all far better midfielders than Rico.

Hopefully Pep gets over the dumbness of playing Rico over any of them. Rico's real value is that he is a defender with the technique of a midfielder.


But he is still a defender. Kimmich is better than any of our CMs not named Rodri. It's a bit of an insult to compare....



All that said, still don't fancy Kimmicj :p

In the summer there will be 12 months left

Still won't be 20 million

 

[Mcfcok1971]

20 & phillips was the call, its clarified underneath

That still won't happen

5 years ago maybe. Completely dominated by Rodri and did a "Nasri" for Rodri's goal

I would have liked this except Lewis is not even a defender for City; he's Gomez level at defending, maybe even less.

He's twixt and tween defender and mid but not even with a defender's mindset.

He needs this in his locker, minimum.

29 in February. Great player yes, but he'll be coming up to his twilight years very shortly. I'm not sure.

Agree about the age but surely depends on the price, length of contract and whether he blocks an academy player. We have a place available (two if Kalvin goes) and his versatility is a big plus.
Basically I’ve got splinters in my arse and can’t decide.

his price is very tempting consider how much we might have to spend elsewhere. Eating the wage will be the kicker (but the bill will be down from winning hte treble anyway)

 

[Dribble]

Following previous transfer protocols, could we see movement with Philips after the Newcastle game?

Reports are circulating tonight that the Geordie's are still very much interested in Kalvin, in spite of their FFP woes & are looking to do a deal after the 20th January.

£5m loan with an £40m obligation to buy in the summer?

Regardless, I still can't see Bayern selling Kimmich until the summer at the earliest, if at all.
