Daily Mirror.

Few things wrong with this. For one, it was reported by BILD, who know virtually nothing outside of Germany. Two, these pre-contract's are typically non-disclosure until its been finalised. Three, if its reported by BILD Kounde would earn 6 million a year, that is a little over 100K per week when converted from euros to sterling. Why on earth would Rudiger be "Angry" about that when he earns well over that?

Considering how many players City have out, we should be winning. Think Tuchel will set up not to lose, but I'd love to see a front three of Werner, Lukaku, Havertz with Kante and Jorginho in midfield. Think we will play a 352 with Kova/Kante/Jorginho with either Werner/Havertz up top with Lukaku.

So it is likely a midfield three of KDB, Bernardo, and Fernandinho.

It isn't our money but if we are to compare other CB's in the league's quality vs wages, I'd say a 4 year deal for 175K is about what he's worth.

Poor Ballack

Think it’ll be a 352 with Lukaku and Kai up top. Back 5 remains the same. Although I wouldn’t be surprised if Mount is shoehorned in there somehow. Or if we continue with a 343. Decisions.

Back 5 picks itself. Then Jorginho. Then it gets tricky. Tuchel has enough time to figure out the best solution. 352 or 343.

Mount. What on earth is wrong with you lad?

Remember this is the player that didn't want to go on holiday and was the first player to join for preseason. He got a head start over everybody. Didn't want to go on loan and instead fight for his spot. All of this yet he is still last in the pecking order and has showed us virtually nothing.

These lads showing why they are no where near starting.

Mount FFS

You’d think these players would put their foot down and offer Tuchel something to think about. Been the complete opposite bar Trev and Kepa.

Ziyech is the new Barkley.

You can tell this is some players’ first game…

This. James RCB

Kante only 45 please

In terms of balance this is probably the best. With Havertz operating as a false 9. Werner Lukaku Havertz

Find it difficult to believe we’d spend 100 million for Marquinhos when we walked away from the Kounde deal that was 55 million +. Not to mention we were also penny pinching for a CM. We probably enquirer and PSG slapped the 100 million tag.

Looked on target before the deflection.

Likely both the club and player will meet half way somewhere.

Lacroix has 88 pace on Fifa 22 and he is a CB 😂

Need to hope they find middle ground soon.

That's a good point. Seems Tuchel has formed a strong bond with Rudiger out of everyone. I hope both the player and the club meet half way somewhere.
