Vs Real Madrid
Thanks ManuelI know nothing about other leagues and know nothing about him. But the noise around him is pretty good.
Probably not. Reijnders will take the bulk of Gundogan’s minutes (3,171) and Gibbs-White would presumably account for de Bruyne’s (2,391). I appreciate that Rodri, Foden, and Gonzalez also need minutes, but we need real runners if we’re to develop another style of play. It might still be a tad crowded for Guardiola, but Bernardo and Gundogan will be entering their final seasons.If we were to sign Reijnders does that end our interest in MGW? Pep commented recently that he wants to continue to work with a small squad and that we should anticipate a small number of transfers.
SíThanks Manuel
Think I expect Gonzalez to take minutes from Gundo. Is he not more of an 8?Probably not.

Of course, any further incomings are predicated on outgoings and that’s even harder to predict.
I think he could play both positions, but we need to get him comfortable deputising for Rodri. If we flog Rodri into the ground and he has more injuries, then we'll be back to square one.Think I expect Gonzalez to take minutes from Gundo. Is he not more of an 8?
I actually expect Nico to be the defensive midfielder and Rodri to step forward, just look at the assists and goals that Rodri has in the last few years, he would grab 20 g+a every season if he was playing further forward.Think I expect Gonzalez to take minutes from Gundo. Is he not more of an 8?

Decent signing if we can get it over the line.He’s absolute class.
Nice to get someone with a bit of CL experience too.He’s absolute class.

Rodri is a very powerful runner.
Nico at the base, Rodri and this lad as the other midfielders. One very physical and technically gifted midfield
Watched one of these for Nolito ages ago and was convinced he was the best thing since sliced bread.He’s absolute class.
I'd have both in my squad ideally.View attachment 157916
Kovacic playing in a tougher league too
He seems too quick and direct for us - Not for meHe’s absolute class.
