maybe play him RB as a walker replacement?? joking...would love to see city counter now with KDB and Haaland

Prior to signing him they scouted him for a long time

Looks like a fantastic player, city have been scouting him for some time according to my sources. Excellent positional play, strong, powerful, capable dribbler and able to play rw and cf

according to my reliable sources inside city this is the sort of price range, originally believed to be about £30m with a deal thought to be achievable at £35m although could rise up to the £40m mark. There is also a second signing confirmed (not cucurella or Phillips) although I am unable to share further info on this topic

1. Cucurella - very likely now, lots of sources say it is close to completion with a fee in the region of £35 mil which isn't awful. 2. Phillips - said to be the second priority of the season for the city board. Personally think this would be a good deal as Rodri backup but likely to cost £45 mil, cheaper than the alternatives city have been linked with. Just cant really get excited about it for some reason. Other positions touted: winger and right back. Would love Reece James as Walker successor but highly unlikely. Laeo seems to be strongly linked if sterling departs, have heard that it could cost around £100m which is a rip off. Thoughts on Peps formation for next season? 4-3-3 Ederson Walker Stones Dias Cancelo Bernardo Rodri KDB Mahrez Haaland Foden. 3-5-2 Ederson Walker Dias Laporte Cancelo Bernardo Rodri KDB Cucurella Haaland Alavarez With the 3-5-2 you could play Haaland up front with Alvarez or have Haaland and CAM like grealish/foden/kdb in behind him. Can play wingers or fullbacks in the wide positions dependent on the game
