Jude Bellingham

Meh

Great player and potential. Was slightly excited that he might come to City. Didn't become obsessed with that idea like Liverpool fans have been the last 18 months.
Will get over it quickly, as long as we have Pep it doesn't matter what players decide not to sign

Not as gutted as i would have been had we failed to sign Haaland. However, the other options for midfield don't look promising.

 

[Goldust]

Rice would make sense as it would allow Alvarez in as a 10 long term.

However game time for him would probably be a risk.

Think there's plenty of options, depending who leaves or doesn't.

 

[balotelli's back pocket]

John stones hybrid CB/DM role and rotation with Rodri at DM. Occasional cover at 8 position

Rodri Rice
Ake Dias Stones

That's a hell of a back 5.

Call me naive but I don’t think people should be worried *yet*

 

[houraisen]

When Alvarez plays in midfield he becomes a better player than Bellingham. There is no need to worry.

Rice would make sense as it would allow Alvarez in as a 10 long term.

This is countered by the fact that Declan Rice, on the scale of Phillips to Bellingham, is much closer to the former.

 

[Marne]

That suggests City don't know what's going on with these reports just yet!

This fella has been spot on with a lot of things. Unfortunately think it’s done

Interesting. Genuinely thought he'd have chosen to come here given we have Haaland, Pep and he's a young English lad who's grown up watching us dominate but Madrid are a massive draw for any youngster. Let's face it.

Let's see who the back-up options are.
