Yeah I dont think Rodri ever ends up at Real Madrid.

To be honest, City dont lose players, they have so much money and they win everything, there is no reason for players they want to keep to end up leaving.

Didn't Alvarez just go to Atletico Madrid?

He did but he wasnt a player they wanted to keep in a sense of a Rodri, KDB, Haaland, Foden etc

Would they have preferred he stay? Of course. Was he really that important to them? No.

He was a backup for Haaland. Easily replaceable.

They dont lose their top players.

They do of course lose players who get sick of sitting on the bench behind said top players haha.

Might need the money to cover their lawyer bills these days.

Zzzzzzzzzzzzz

 

[moomba]

We won't want to sell Rodri, but if he wants to go he'll go.

Alvarez played almost every game last season.

Alvarez was much more than a Haaland back up. I read that his minutes played in the league last season was only behind Rodri, Foden, Ederson etc. He would’ve played a significant amount of time alongside Haaland on the pitch.

Think he started something like 35+ games.

According to transfermarket, he played more minutes than even Haaland himself. Didn’t know that.

 

[Magma]

he basically played attacking mid once kdb got injured. he wasnt someone i really wanted sold but for how much atletico offered it was a no brainer really.

Who did you replace him with?

 

[jod23]

If City wanted to keep him they would have. He was being played out of position and obviously wanted out.

 

[Magma]

no one. i think bobb was meant to be playing his role but he got injured. but we only brought in savio and gundogan.

Jod not knowing about other teams is hardly a shock.

Obviously.

He won the treble as a starter. I highly doubt he wanted out for lack of playing time or being played out of position. Sometimes players from Spanish speaking backgrounds want to play for Spanish clubs. It’s not unusual.

And sometimes clubs get offered significant fees and feel compelled to sell. But Jod knows best.

 

[Magma]

there is also the highly rated claudio echeverri coming in jan after his loanback to river plate ends. i believe he plays in a similar way to alvarez but i havent seen much of him.

Thanks homie. That's true, I do know best.

 

[RPCB]

I don’t think homie means what you think it means.

 

[moomba]

I think City has broken jod. The thoughts he has on our power compared to reality dont reslly match up.

We do lose games, we do sell players because it's financially worth our while. Sometimes we sell players because they want to play elsewhere.

 

[jod23]

I don’t think homie means what you think it means.

It only means one thing bro.

 

[RPCB]

I am not your brother. So you’re wrong again.

City havent broken me.

Nothing you said there contradicts what I said.

City dont lose players they want to keep.

It's pretty simple.

People said for years Silva would leave or Aguero would leave etc. They didnt, they played almost their entire careers at City. Same has happened for KDB. The same will happen for Haaland probably, that one is a bit murky depending on what happens with the 116 charges or however many they are fighting.

But yeah, thats all I said, is that City dont lose players they want to keep which is true.

Your banter is world class.

 

[RPCB]

Thank you?

It’s pretty shit actually.
