Players who might improve us

Then he gets injured, and... need a second strong option for the rotation. That is literally Fernandinho today and what his replacement needs to be

You're kidding yourself if you think we're getting Wilfried Ndidi to come and be a backup. Might as well sign Van Dijk to come and cover for Stones while we're at it.

We have our Fernandinho replacement- his name is Rodri. People need to get used to that because it's happening. No, it's already happened. I know City fans don't like him but he'll prove everyone wrong just as Gundogan, Mahrez and Stones have.

That should be ‘some’ City fans.

I like him a lot, I think he’s got better and better as he’s settled into the side and I think he’ll be better yet again next season.

My comment had nothing to do with Ndidi

I’m not saying we’re getting Ndidi I’m saying we need back up, I didn’t mention Ndidi. Who do you suggest we get?

Of course it did. Someone said we need Ndidi to replace Fernandinho and I pointed out we've already replaced Fernandinho.

You said we didn’t need a Fernandinho replacement because we have Rodri. I said we still need a second player for when he’s injured or when we’re rotating. I didn’t say it had to be Ndidi

Our Fernandinho replacement is Rodri. We need another player yes but if we're suggesting people like Ndidi then quite clearly the feeling is that Rodri isn't good enough. Which is utter bollocks.

Fernandinho is Rodri’s second right now. So we need a Fernandinho replacement literally

But I'm not talking to you- I'm talking to the guy who thinks we should replace Fernandinho with Ndidi. Why everyone thinks I'm saying we should never buy another DM again is beyond me.

I agree but we will need cover for him.
We have a £25mill buy back option on Douglas Luiz, so unless we can buy someone cheaper than that, we get him in imo.
 
The only back up to Dinho we should be looking at is Camavinga who at €40mil (rumoured) is an absolute STEAL!!

I do wonder, given the Ake rumours that he could deputise as a DM, he played there when he was at Chelse and his path to CB is blocked

He has the intelligence and physical/technical skills to play the role well imo

Seems like Pep has mentioned it before that Ake could he used as a DM when he signed

Nathan Ake has revealed the conversation he had with Pep Guardiola that persuaded him to sign for Manchester City.

You have mentioned Ndidi, not me. I don’t get the hostility. Rodri has been good this season. I’m talking about back up to him which Fern is at the moment.
 
My humble opinion is that in order to obtain the current superiority and winning performance, we NEED a striker of top class for next season!
It will bring a)a lot of fresh air in the team, b)a new player for opponents to focus and of course c)his goals! :)
We really really need some fresh blood in the team of world class calibre!

Haaland would be excellent because he is very young and will last for many many years.
Messi would bring much more (goals, assists, key passes) but he would last much less.

Kayky we signed is excellent choice but still very young and won't be here till 2022 anyway.
Ings we are interested in, would be interesting and will offer something, but not be a big impact like Haaland or Messi.
 
As an alternative to Jack Grealish would I wouldn't mind having a closer look at Gio Reyna. Dortmund will have a huge say and altough he is still a promising kid and isn't quite ready to really step up.

So you harp on about giving our EDS an opportunity ahead of signing one of the leagues best players,and then go and suggest a kid who is no better than what we already have??

Got to hand it to you,Ray....Brilliant! lol
 
Borna Sosa is someone I have my eye on. 23 year old left back for Stuttgart. He has 10 assists in 23 Bundesliga appearances this year. He's 6ft tall so adds some sort of height. I've watched two Stuttgart games and he looks like Cancelo at times at LB going forward but needs to improve his defending by a lot.
