  1. I think City will move to bring him in but something tells me that he and Pep get along and that ultimately it will be down to Doug.

    If he is happy to go back and bide his time to cement a place down then he will but I feel as though Pep won't force him 'if' he did want to stay here.

    I don't disagree with what you say, but this wasn't my only basis for what I said.  We have seen several times that Mings can be subject to a rush of blood during games (in a way that I don't see Konsa ever doing) and, in the cases of Bamford and Zaha this season, can be susceptible to players winding him up that leads to him making errors.

    I still rate Mings BUT have said that, if a big bid were to come in - and as an England international that is possible - and given his age I would consider selling and re-investing.  By big I mean £50m plus (a distinct possibility given the valuations on the likes of Maguire and Tarkowski).

    It depends upon ffp and budgets etc., but if that then enabled the acquisition of, say, the strong young french centre back that we have been linked with (or similar target that Lange had identified) with Hause stepping up and gave us an additional £25m of left over funds that helped (in addition to what we already have earmarked plus a couple of other potential sales) support the acquisition of, say, David Brooks and Edouard, a couple of strong back up midfielders and a new left back then I would consider it.  Leicester have done this with the sales of Maguire and Chilwell - generated funds and re-invested in young talent and improved.  I wouldn't, however, want to consider this with Luiz, McGinn or Jack.

    Been playing football manager much during lockdown ?

  3. Sadly I can't see him staying if they come calling. But I won't hold any grudges and it will be a pleasure to.know it all started for him here when he plays for a Barcelona/real one day
