  1. Some will say that it's just spending money, but if the players are no longer in shape and are getting older, they have to be replaced by other players, it's logical.
    😂

  2. "A poor man's Rodri"!?!

    Everyone is poor compared to the Balon d'Or winner.

    Rodri was also 60 million and quite average for the first year under Pep. Compare 23 year old Nico with 23 year old Rodri, not 28 year old Rodri.

    Lazy journalism as always

  3. Akanji was viewed as a poor signing. Rodri was only seen as a 'decent' player when signed. Cancelo was viewed as not having fulfilled potential and then for a few seasons was lauded as world class. Not sure why Gab can harshly judge a guy who has not played a minute yet give the lad a chance you was once a young fat man given a chance in your profession….even though you came from money….

  4. He his 23 how can you say he will never be as good ? Come on writing off a player before he touch is 30 is wild and also espn need to get rid of These lazy pundit you don’t see tiki with all the new signs ?

  5. Juls is harsh at 23 Nico is a better plyer statistically than Rodri was at the same age. So actually if you extrapolate he actually could be better than Rodri. Nobody predicted Rodri would be as good as he has become when he arrived in 2019.

  6. City have acumulated money from sales & success on the pitch . Over the last number of transfer windows their outlay has been minimal to the point i believe even Birmingham City of League 1 have actually spent more . Now they have spent somewhere in the region of 175 million on new young players . Why ? Needs must , it is that simple ! It would be nice if people who are employed to give expert opinion , insight & factual information to the viewer / listener , would actually do their job properly !! I don't support City or any team for that matter , i am a football fan & even i know the Director of Football is still in place at the Etihad !!! 🤦🏼‍♂️

  7. Joao will play as a Playmaker and the only player who is playing there is Rjeinders, Pulisic is playing on the right during his entire Milan stance, Okafor left so they need a backup for Leao, is this guy a Interista?
