I think Paqueta Joelinton Bruno in midfield would be terrifying to play against. Bruno and Paqueta can both unlock a low block. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Romeo Romeo Lavia, Manuel Ugarte, or Kephren Thuram are very good options for the position. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bruno and Paqueta can both unlock a low block. They arent better than Maddison to execute that killer pass. Realistically we wont find any better in the PL than Maddison. Like the look of Szoboszlai, and who will benefit us best thats up to debate. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ikon Posted May 24, 2023 Share Posted May 24, 2023 What price for Maddison if they get relegated? 35-40? I know about his contract and all that but I doubt they would sell him for say 30m. 35m for him would be a very good deal imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots of media chat about them wanting £50m but just can’t see that figure being realised. £35m, I reckon. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think great describes him perfectly. I’d consider Modric great. He’s better than Bruno. Thats fine you describe him how you want. Just find it funny how defensive fans get of their own players particularly their favourites when described merely as very good ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaqen Posted May 24, 2023 Share Posted May 24, 2023 1 hour ago, Kimbo said: Expensive backup for Rodri. Stones basically plays in midfield next to Rodri now anyway and drops back into CB out of possession. Pep might see Rice as a better version of him in that role.

Kimbo Posted May 24, 2023 Share Posted May 24, 2023 Paqueta is stuck at West Ham, no one will pay the money necessary to get him out and he will spend most of his prime years there. It was always a horrible career move. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

West Ham looked a lot more promising on the back of last season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

WilliamPS Posted May 24, 2023 Share Posted May 24, 2023 Not sure I see why Man City would want Rice? Rice is a top player but Man City have they covered For Man City their big signings will be replacements for Gundogan or Bernardo Silva if they leave and Rice isn’t going to replace either.
