Dembele last season alone, 8 goals in all competitions

Hazard last 4 yrs in Madrid 7 goals in all competitions


This is not the deserved answer to my question. Nothing concerns Hazard in my question.

I think Man Utd should go for Kane though, He is English captain, He can stay in familiar EPL and break Shearers records

Most EPL players find it hard adjusting to Bundesliga like Cancelo Mane and even Sane
Levy will never sell Kane to United!!!!

That guler kid want first team football and ac millan will give him that

I still have talented Pablo torre warming the bench at Barca ,the guler guy should go to ac millan or bvb if he know what’s good for him

His dad is the problem, the man wants to cash out from this contract. 17M (Release clause) is chicken change and that makes it easy for bigger teams with deeper pockets to snap him.

Omo, I feel for Mahrez. Despite being a world-class winger, he has never really been a starter all through his 5 years at City. Na in and out. Pep sef na weyrey, some days e go remember am and play him for long stretches, other days e no go even look him side. This is someone who would be an assured starter at many of the other top clubs. The guy don enter 30's now, e no go bad if he decides to chase the bag

Make Riyad go Riyadh go make riyal grin
Lol. Mad ryhme!! It's difficult to start for Pep always!! It doesn't mean you are not good..... Foden, Laporte (Maybe injury) Walker are good examples!! Pep makes decisions based on Matchday Info!!!!

Pep dropped Mahrez because he does not the defensive contribution of Bernardo or Grealish

Last season Gabriel Jesus or Foden was leading the line and they have more defensive contribution, this season with Haaland not doing that much defensively, they can barely afford another defensive liability like Mahrez

The way City plays exposes their defence and midfield and having wingers who put in shift defensively helps

When you see Grealish and Bernardo sometimes playing at Wing backs

Also Mahrez first instinct is to shoot, That will not work when you have Haaland that need you to feed him. Mahrez takes a lot of low percentage shots too when someone like Pep will rather you recycle the ball and wait for a high percentage opportunity.

Peps pattern is to rotate the ball so much in midfield look for opening in half spaces, cut back and someone taps in. It makes scoring look easy but it requires certain skilsets to do that

This is why Maldini is the standard for a defender worldwide

https://twitter.com/ChampionsLeague/status/1673293143217676288

Watch the clip above and show me where you see Maldini running away from engaging an attacker or shying away from responsibility

Yet VVD will be pointing running away and some will say he is the best defender

Defending is a dirty job, no bigman for defending. See senior man Maldini using nyansh to wipe floor regularly to players less than him

That is the standard. Yet kendrick93, popizaino hensben and airmark will be selling us zobo

Rice isn’t the right replacement for any of those 2 nah
Na non-linear thinking, bro. You don forget say na Pep we dey deal with grin It doesn't have to be like-for-like. I mentioned Bernardo and Mahrez, because there has been uncertainty regarding their future

Bernardo is key here because of his versatility as a CM and RM/RW. If he finally leaves, getting Rice allows Rodri to play at CM, and the RM/RW slot is left for Mahrez, Cancelo or whoever Pep deems as his replacement. If na Mahrez wan comot, Bernardo keeps his place at RW.

I think while getting Rice doesn't mean Bernardo and Mahrez WILL leave, it could mean City may be open to the idea of letting one or both of them go.

You are absolutely right on all of the points you made. It's just sad that a player of Mahrez' quality doesn't fit in with Pep's tactics.

You see that Grealish? That boy na scam. I hate players who mask their lack of output or impact with intangibles. It's even more annoying when the English media try to put a spin on it. You hear stuff like "he's a good lad to have around, he lifts the mood in the dressing room" Na wetin Man City pay 100m for be that? You can see Pep is trying to squeeze at least some good out of him, but I know im sef go don gba kamu. Grealish na another Joelinton. In his case, some shakushaku and workrate with little impact.

Remember Maldini never won the World cup according to your rating criteria, so I'm confused

If you fail in your primary duty at least be useful elsewhere. As an attacker Grealish is pants. A waste of 100M, Maybe Pep can repurpose him as a Wing back like Newcastle did with Joelinton

How can you say grealish has little impact when he just created the most chances by an English player in a champions league season. He also created the 2nd most chances for City in the league behind Kdb. He creates, scores a little, work hard, dribbles, wins fouls plus being press resistance which are all the things Pep needs in his system. Pep system is even reducing his ability because the Grealish at Aston villa is not the one we are seeing at City.
