Johnnyp Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 A buy back option doesn't exactly pertain to next summer lads. Unless Rodri is an absolute flop, he isn't getting a game with City anytime soon. And he wants to play that DM role. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like mobile, intelligent DCM's so I'm all for it. I think people who wanted that will be disappointed with Dean Smith in general, it's not the Dean Smith way to have a destroyer who is useless with the ball.

I had no problem with Mings, El Ghazi, Tammy, or Snoddy. I think it depends on their effort levels. Edited July 12, 2019 by PieFacE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HalfTimePost Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 56 minutes ago, Nigel said: Don't like this buy back clause one bit, its essentially a loan. Unless he's shite, they will buy him anyway to turn a profit. Thought we had moved away from this short term thinking. If it's the£45m buy back that's doing the rounds then it's a potential£30m profit. Not bad for a short term loan. That's 10 McGinns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Mark Albrighton Posted July 12, 2019 VT Supporter Popular Post Share Posted July 12, 2019 Well at least arguing about spending £15m on a Manchester City player who we may lose for a profit if disaster strikes and he plays well for us is slightly different than arguing about spending £20m on players from Bristol City, Brentford or Bournemouth. 5 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Villarocker Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 It's certainly come out of nowhere. Also, a fellow Brazilian to help Wesley settle in! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeyp102 Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 Never heard of him A dm is needed and if signed by pep will obviously have the attributes that Smith likes. Brazilian so will help Wesley settle. Possible buy back and us making a quick profit on him. Seems a great transfer on paper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaVilla Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 (edited) Looking at some vids of him, he really doesn't play like a DMC, he actually seems to play more like an MC with attacking intent or also seemed to play a little like an inside forward at times.
