What difference does one season make anyways?? He can play however he wants we respect his contract and respectfully say goodbye. He was won is two PL if you are forgetting.Possibly true but that would be the wrong decision.
City come first and he's living off the 17/18 season unfortunately. We can't be the next Arsenal, clinging onto Wenger because of past achievements.
The relevant question is, does he have a plan to win things in the future and seeing Gundogan/Rodri in midfield suggests to me that the plan he has will definitely not work.
