Man City’s final signing of the transfer window is Wolves Matheus Nunes; a player Pep Guardiola once described as one of the best midfielders in the world. But while his time in the midlands was spent playing in a system entirely at odds with City’s, this might be a deal that makes a crazy kind of sense.

Foden will bench Grealish
Foden gain more freedom playing from the LW where Pep normally plays him.
Number 6 Role – Rodri, Kovacic, Nunes, Rico Lewis
Number 8 Role – KDB, Bernardo, Kovacic, Nunes
Number 10 role – KDB, Bernardo, Foden, Alvarez
Midfield area are well covered. they are all press resistant midfielders, and can play several position.
i think this could be more of the john stones type roll just so they have depth in that position because it worked very well last season
Make u eat ur words on new castle beating uh 😅
Honestly, this man will do the job of Bernardo Silva at the defense, while Bernado will be able to move the ball like De Bruyne. So that's a good and quality buy.
Mancity did so well at the transfer market, I'm really impressed. Used over £200m to bring in young and quality players, then got over £150m from sale of players. The club that knows what they want and need. I just love Mancity and Pep Guardiola's mindset.

I want to see foden playing instead of grealish
As somebody who watched Adam a long time ago at WhatCulture, it's amazing to see what you've done with this channel. Amazing work. You're genuinely up there with Tifo, and honestly most of the time I prefer your videos to theirs.
He is Rodri backup
So he's like F. Dejong.
Excellent video. I can't help thinking there are similarities between Nunes & Kovacic. I think City shd have opted to get Nunes & another more natural 10 like Eze or Wirtz and left Kovacic at Chelsea.
The way Matheus Nunes acts like a spolied little girl & refused to train with wolves to force a transfer is unprofessional. City should have cancelled the transfer to set an example not to deal with idiots players like Nunes
I think youre close but just missed the mark. I think we'd actually see Nunes / Kova deep with Rodri pushing further forward. Rodri has a goal threat himself. We've seen that.
Most recently against Newcastle he scored the winner and post-match came out and said that he loves the freedom to move further forward. He said he can do it with Kova but couldnt with Gundogan. I wouldn't be quick to assume that Rodri will always be deepest.
Itll be interesting to see how it turns out!
I think this transfer is for next season. Considering the market is crazy this season with SPL splashing money (and I bet it'll get crazier next season), and Bernardo Silva might leave next season, I think it's probably smart to sign a midfielder early.
He is just needed for ball retention you’re thinking to much into it😂😂😂
Like 999
It's simple. Citeh will mostly play against low blocks, so why not buy another player who can dribble thru them.
He has come in to rotate with Rodri and Kova. Last few games, including Champions League Final, Pep showed he trusts Foden in that role instead of Kev
ooooooh a little nod to 40k at the end there! Very nice job on the librarian
Hi. I had an idea for a video if you perhaps have the time and hadn't thought about it. Looking at Newcastle's first four games and in particular the last three, I was wondering what your opinion on why things have gone wrong, why the midfield doesn't seem to be working and what Eddie Howe is trying to do. Going on your previous videos I absolutely think you are the best man for the job. I also thought it would be a good time to do this considering the international break.
Can u talk about Ansu fati to brighton
Nunes is versatile and will be utilized as so. I can see pep preferring stones as a cb, and nunes could slot into that hybrid role john did so well almost perfectly. Nunes will be all over the pitch match to match.
i think pep will place him in hybrid defender like john stones. his defend still decent but hen can improve
Julian, not Ederson Alvarez
You missed one minor detail when explaining the walker role. Second half of that game and the next, Pep switched Akanji to the right side away from the box and placed Kovaci and Rodri as CDMs. What this did was allow City to have their two 8s and 6s with Foden coming alongside Alvarez as 8s, and Walker coming as a RW to create their 5vs 4 attacking phase. With Akanji, Ake and Dias or Gvardiol at the back, there is no one scoring there. Defensively they had a back 3 that became a 4 because Mateo doesn't like to move up more. This is what allowed Rodri to move higher and score the winner at Sheffield. So basically, while everyone is focused on the box midfield, Pep's latest tactical twitch to this team is Walker. He has always been his most important balance setting piece. For the second DM, Nunes and Kovacic will alternate with Rodri. Rodri needs some rest if we are to keep him fit when it matters. Great analysis though! Loved it
This guy could end up benching kovacic
