OneMoSalah 8,886 Posted June 22, 2023 Share Posted June 22, 2023 (edited) 40 minutes ago, Pizy said: How do Rice and Rodri mesh together, btw? The both play in the same area and have similar roles in their teams. Personally, I think him going to City is better for us and other rivals. I don’t think he really moves the needle for them at all. Essentially swapping our Gündogan in their best XI for Rice is a step back. Whereas he’s a massive upgrade and game changer for Arse’s midfield. Rice is certainly more than just a holding midfielder though, as is Rodri who has popped up with some big goals in this new formation they’ve been playing. Rice can easily play box to box and has started adding ball carries, goals and assists to his game. Where he fits in at City is hard to tell but if they continue with their formation they used this season, he could easily play with Rodri in that 2 and they could use the likes of Stones in their backline again as opposed to in MF. It definitely again adds quality into an already quality team - which again, I wouldn’t be surprised if City evolve again tactically.

Vesper 30,226 Posted June 22, 2023 Share Posted June 22, 2023 David Datro Fofana will likely be sold, says Simon Phillips. Has not impressed. Sorry to hear he is apparently a bust.

Indeed, Lampard never used him even when he was giving everyone a chance. Even Aubameyang played more than Fofana. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pizy 18,953 Posted June 22, 2023 Share Posted June 22, 2023 DD Fofana seemed like a puzzling buy the moment it emerged we were after him. Like some people at the club thought they were unearthing some gem that would turn into a worldie or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clockwork 1,794 Posted June 22, 2023 Share Posted June 22, 2023 Lol you guys act like Fofana was a huge investment or significant, it didn’t work out and we are swiftly moving on. We will recoup some of the money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whats happening 1,622 Posted June 22, 2023 Share Posted June 22, 2023 why would we sell him before loaning him, giving him chance to prove himself? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lluubbeenn 174 Posted June 22, 2023 Share Posted June 22, 2023 I guess we need the money, money money. Hope we will spend them wisely. We must have a spine this time next year or we will be in a very tough position. Sooner or later a window will open when city are not at their best and we should be there.

Mhsc 1,098 Posted June 22, 2023 Share Posted June 22, 2023 Have a feeling Caicedo isn’t going to happen any time soon, if at all. Brighton have absolutely no need to hurry and may as well sit tight and see what happens with Rice. I feel like we will sign someone totally unexpected tbh.

Pizy 18,953 Posted June 22, 2023 Share Posted June 22, 2023 Wonder if the true reason he’s so adamant that he wants to leave for a direct rival will ever come to light. Or if he’ll just keep it private and say the usual, generic “I just wanted a fresh start” bullshit once he’s holding up that United shirt.
