Also can’t see where he gets in at United either unless Pogba leaves. He's better than Foden currently. They have the two Silvas already and they both get plenty of gametime. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vive_La_Villa Posted July 2, 2020 Share Posted July 2, 2020 City need to be sorting out their defence and striker situation before signing another playmaker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is but I’d love to see Foden in a shit team where he plays every minute and literally everything goes through him. I reckon he’d already be a superstar.

sne Posted July 2, 2020 Share Posted July 2, 2020 (edited) Depending on when and IF football gets back to the new normal the big clubs and players will be forced to play a ridiculous number of games in the upcoming 2-2.5 years. New domestic season and cups and Europa games compressed to fit in. Euro's, AFCON, WC-qualifiers and the 2022 WC, U21-Euro's, Olympics, Conmebol. Another season with more European games and domestic cups. And I'm sure there is more. And then there is those profitable pre season trips to whatever country that is not in lock down. Players will be looking at almost 150 games in 2.5 years. Obviously most won't play that much but the big clubs will need big squads and lots of rotations because there will be tons of muscle injuries. For reference Ruben Neves at Wolves has already played 46 games this season in addition to 6 games with Portugal. The backlog of games in European and world football is just silly. Grealish will get games if he moves to a big club. Edited July 2, 2020 by sne 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He gets space, he has options all over the place, he's free to play. In a Villa team, like Grealish, he'd be doubled up on, he'd have no passing options, and he'd be the only competent player in the squad. Drop Grealish into the City team and he'd be fantastic Edited July 2, 2020 by Stevo985 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’re right he would get a lot more time and space though. It will be interesting to see how he does once he gets a big move. How far he can go.

Everyone else are all just at the same very high level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Laporte is one of the best defenders in the world when fit. Ederson is still one of the best keepers in the world for me, especially with his feet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think they particularly stand out because the rest of the team is so good KDB and a peak Aguero are the only Man City players who appear significantly better than the other players in the team.

sne Posted July 2, 2020 Share Posted July 2, 2020 Linked with Dortmund. Iffy link but still. Now that would be fantastic but sadly can't see it unless they sell Sancho (or Haaland) for massive money Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomaszk Posted July 2, 2020 Share Posted July 2, 2020 It's a joke how high I rate him. People asking where he'd be at Utd? Anywhere. Within four months he'd be first choice and playing in all their 'big' games. Because Fernandes is there he'd likely get pushed wide or deeper, but I think he's better than him as well to be honest. We must hold on for at least £75m. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AvfcRigo82 Posted July 2, 2020 Share Posted July 2, 2020 If/when Jack leaves.. I would prefer it to be Man City over Utd, or someone like Dortmund would be better. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
