I'd be far too worried about him having to play given how he's looked for the last 5 months. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlazeT44 Posted May 24, 2022 Share Posted May 24, 2022 I suppose money and trophies talk, but as a young English player I'd be extremely apprehensive about joining City. Admittedly I dont watch City every week, but would he be guaranteed first team football every week?? Are Foden, Grealish, etc playing over 80% of the time?

Don't know what percentage of total games it is, but Foden has 45 appearances and Grealish 38 this season so very much in the first team picture. Not sure Phillips would be able to get as many games as that though with Rodri ahead of him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlazeT44 Posted May 24, 2022 Share Posted May 24, 2022 If Pep guarantees him 80%+ of game time now Fernandinho is heading out the door, fair enough. But even with him out the picture, he's got to find a way to get in ahead of Rodri, Dias, KDB... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris_R Posted May 24, 2022 Share Posted May 24, 2022 Given how many cup games - domestically and European - Man City will play, you don't need to play 80% of their games to still get almost as many games as you'd get playing as a regular for Leeds. Plus the massive payrise. And the trophies. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only outfield players that didn't get much game time are Nathan Ake & Fernandinho tbf. You wouldn't want to replace him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prophet Posted May 24, 2022 Share Posted May 24, 2022 The new contract for Dummet and targeting Lodi makes me wonder if we're switching to a back three next year. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd doubt it. Howe has rarely gone 3 at the back in his managerial career. Tends to save it for very specific game plans, like Chelsea away this season.

Tiresias Posted May 24, 2022 Share Posted May 24, 2022 Are they going to post about every footballer we're not targeting? Having said that heard a lot of pundits saying he was very good earlier in season but fat lot of good it's done Watford. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Almost like we had a dummy list of targets that seemed reasonable to throw people off the scent, before we start banging in bids for Mbappe, Van Dijik, the ghost of Maradona etc Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
