We’ve won titles without an out and out striker , Pep will find a way to overcome , we won titles before we signed him and we will win titles without him.

Disagree - as in yes obviously Kovacic is going to play there as he is a central midfield correct! But John will be needed in the middle too as things go on . . .Nowhere near good enough.
It's Kovacic, pointless conversation.
A combination of Kovacic, Gundo, KDB and Rico is the best we have to cover central spaces.

If and when that happens, I'll accept it..then cry :(Too many saying it, including reliable journalists, for it not to be true
As standard, think the club will probably confirm it in a short press release within the next hour or two

Fuck off, you absolute fucking bellend.Arteta has Partey, Rice and Jorginho. Liverpool has Endo as a back-up. At least they have someone. Our midfield is crap without Rodri, but it’s up to the club who did nothing.
Can sign them but don't think they can play until Januaryyou can sign free agents whenever

So we just need to get someone on a free transfer…
Who can we tap up and get to leave their club by mutual agreement? Then we can sign them.
I mean we might as well do some underhand shit seeing as we are labelled with it either way.

Can we still bring Kalvin Phillips back?
You can't replace Rodri anyway. There's no one on his level that we could buy in January. Why waste money now.
Would be curious to see this line up once:
Eddie
Rico Akanji Dias Gvardiol
KDB Stones Foden
Savinho Haaland Grealish

Yep it's not on the official website ?Why have we all suddenly accepted that Rodri is out for the season without an official club statement. ? I'll prefer to wait until its official rather than hang on the words of these City hating click bait BASTARDS!
I think we'll see Pep sacrifice one of the attacking players and go to two holding midfielders. Why try and cover for Rodri with one player when he's the best in the world at what he does? It will likely take 2 players to make up for it in that area of the pitch. IMO anyway.
A line-up like:
GK: Ederson/Ortega
RB: Walker/Lewis
CB x2: Stones/Dias/Ake/Akanji
LB: Gvardiol/Ake
DM x2: Kovacic/Bernie/Lewis/Gundo/Stones/Gvardiol
CM (attacking/sole 8): KDB/Gundo/Lewis/Foden/Nunes/Bernie
RW: Foden/Savinho/Doku/Bernie
ST: Haaland/KDB/Foden/Gundo
LW: Grealish/Doku/Savinho
I also wouldn't be surprised to see Akanji used as a coupled-up DM at some point. His reading of spaces and pace to recover is vital. And his passing range is fantastic with both feet.
