Let's gooo

Yes, Matic. I think the post was pretty self explanatory.

Okay. We are clearly seeing two different players. Sorry. I'll move on.

Good shout. Many people forget about fern's all offensive ability from midfield, when we play away at anfield it helps to be more solid in midfield, leave out a attacking creative and play fern instead along with rodri

I think this lad is far more mobile than Matic and or Busquets.
He is good on the ball like Fern and will have are keeper, the cbs and take your pick from are number 8 s around him to help out with breaking lines and ball circulation and retention.
He may take time settling but ultimately I think he ll fit City's system well.

I'd rather go with his current Atletico form over the course of last season as an indication of what we're getting.

Matic used to be mobile once he got going. The difference is agility. There are 2 types of defensively-minded DMs, ones who tend to harass you out of the ball (Dinho, Kante et al) and ones who tend to win the ball by outmuscling you and using their frame(long legs). Rodri is more the latter, defensively-speaking.
Bot styles have pros and cons.
The overall point however was that he was much closer to Busquets.

Okay. We are clearly seeing two different players. Sorry. I'll move on.

I just don't think you're understanding the point. Hopefully the above helps you out.

I just have an awful feeling about this. Filling this spot has been almost impossible for a few years. Get the lad signed and we can all be happy.

There is no chance rodri doesn’t know by this point exactly what we are offering. Only thing left to do would be medical and sign on the dotted line. Buzzing for this signing

I'm not getting my hopes up on this signing just yet, Happens quite often on this forum that a "done deal" is far from done :)

Superb signing

 

[leo_city]

Pls no last minute u-turns or fuck ups.

Exceptional signing if/when we get it over the line.

 

[Franknorgrovesnephew]

I'll believe it when I see him holding up the city top we've been here before

You get two for one with Fern. Defensive and attacking quaility. He's been asked to sit in that holding role for so long, it's easy to forget.

Matic is a very good and effective player when used correctly. To see what's happened to decent players after they've arrived at Old Toilet, see Sanchez, Fred and Pogba.

I'd be surprised if this is completed within the next week or two

How many caps has he got for Wales

 

[Mike D]

Really need to get this one over the line asap we need him in the squad and a very large pair of shoes to fill.

You are embarrassing desperate to be right that he would never leave AM
