Welcome to City Maximo Perrone

[Mr Kobayashi]

Deep lying playmaker Phillips gone in summer?? Or is he a gundogan replacement?

Kalvin isn't really a playmaker of any sort.

 

[Alexia_Ko]

I'm actually so happy now, I was looking at him this afternoon. I said he would be an Alvarez type signing

not quite 3 months younger than McAtee, 8 months younger than Palmer, for reference

Hope it’s not because we can’t get Bellingham.

Maybe, it's a Haaland and Alvarez situation. Perrone is just a backup option.

That this guy is who Benfica wanted to replace Enzo Fernandez tells me all I need to know. Benfica’s scouts seem to be on another level, so if they want him I’m sure he’s class without ever watching him play.

He's a defensive midfielder. Maybe we just want to have better options to cover for Rodri vs Philips or Lavia long term.

Saved us about 80 million if that's the case
