Overall ball manipulation, mainly used to evade opposition. ‘Quick feet’. Close control is close to dribbling to me - that’s what David Silva, Modric etc. have. Bruno has it. If Rooney or Kane required a 3 touch finish (first touch, 2nd close control, 3rd half chance finish) I’d back Kane to pull it off more often. But I get your point Rooney has that tekky guile and ability. Kane is that bit more rigid, robotic (and efficient). RVP or Rooney? All the points above, RVP was better. RVP purely for his volleying ability. I’m being a bit harsh on Rooney as he was an exceptional player and I’d take Rooney as a 20 year old over any version of RVP but over a career, I just loved RVP’s ability to strike a ball Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have noticed Pep not being happy with him at times. Think perhaps tactically he doesn't always follow Peps instructions to a tee. Going to be interesting to see how his situation develops over this season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was also the best player to watch of the 3 imo. No version of Rooney was as complete, productive and exciting as prime RVP. Best I’d go Kane > Rooney > RVP For the joy of the game RVP > Rooney > Kane Edited August 10, 2023 by The College Dropout Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought with Gundogan and Mahrez leaving he would be put into the first team, but it's not looking like that will be the case. Seems such a waste as I think he starts for anyone else in the league Because of FFP (and FSG being tight) only Chelsea is a viable option. City would sell him. For £110m.

AyeDubbleYoo Posted August 10, 2023 Share Posted August 10, 2023 Foden going to Chelsea would be disastrous though. I think it’s a bit early to say he won’t play for Man City, he could easily start this weekend. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it’s hard to say, they’re in a transitional phase even if Kane had stayed. Could be that it ends up OK if they stick to their plan and use the money wisely.

Tiresias Posted August 10, 2023 Share Posted August 10, 2023 Are Brighton breaking their model a bit signing someone nurtured elsewhere without the profit margin available?

Although both are good players. Maybe they have some targets in mind for next year or the year after, and they’re filling some gaps until then. Dunno. Saying that, they have bought PL experience before with the likes of Ake and Stones and it worked out well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
