Manchester City ponder €40 million-plus move for Tijjani Reijnders

Pep Guardiola's Manchester City are considering making a €40 million plus bid for the services of AC Milan midfield star Tijjani Reijnders.

was great at hte Euros cant see Milan playing ball for him already though

Long been advocating him. There are similarities between him and Gundogan but also Nunes, in terms of his athleticism and ability to get up and down the park. If we don’t move for him, he’ll likely move to Liverpool or that lot.

I don’t think kova can replace Rodri. They’re very different players. Rodri’s physical presence will be sorely missed.

He already has

Unless you want a Rodri replacement to be as good as Rodri, whereas the only real option is Kimmich as his "back up"

If Gravenberch can play as a first choice #6 for the Dippers than Kovacic can play as a back up

The issue with replacing players is that players like Lewis and McAtee get shuffled down the pack again. Teams change their way of playing, when Rodri's era comes to and end with Kevs maybe we might go back to a David Silva way of playing through defenders from midfield.

I'd like to see a Fernandinho type of player come in instead of a replacement to Rodri and Kev.

Another 6 footer up with Haaland to bully the fuck out of opponents would help no end, and before anyone asks, yes I'm being serious.

We have to replace Pep first for that to happen.

Or convince him it's the way forward, but could you imagine a young Dzeko alongside Haaland?

It won't work in the current set up and that combo is best used on a short term basis. Pep has his stratergy and he doesn't venture too far away from that.

Plan B mate, it would keep other teams on the back foot.

Wouldn't it be nice to see balls humped into the area against sides who park the bus, give them something to think about.

The way Arsenal had set up they would have dealt with that approach as well. We had to really grind them down and it took a momentary lapse in concentration for the break through.

Every ball we lobbed in was crying for a busy big lad it would have taken the attention off of Haaland too IMO.

A couple of lucky breaks did land for Arsenal up until the equaliser.

Not for me he hasn’t. Yday once Rodri went off they had the better of the half. He’s done okay against lesser teams but I don’t think he’s anywhere near our best 11 if everyone’s fit and doesn’t have the physical attributes to cover Rodri.just my opinion

Schouten from PSV, Varela from Porto, Edson Alvarez from WHU, Angelo Stiller from Stuttgart, Zubimendi, just try to do something.

Rabiot on a free wouldn’t have been a bad option but he’s just gone Marseille. Could Gvardiol step into CM?

I doubt Pep would touch him with 500inch pole

His mom would talk shit all the time when son will play outside his preffered position or wont play

Gravenberch could have been very good under Pep. That’s a type of profile we need to be looking at - highly rated as a youngster, lots of upside, decent price.
