Manchester City

De Bruyne missed a few games last season and is 30 now, presume he will be his successor and will play games against teams they can steamroll but not sure he would play both against big teams

Don't think Grealish is even close to being the player KDB was at 25 in terms of goals, assists, chance creations etc. Even when KDB was a couple years younger than Grealish is now he was putting up better numbers in the Bundesliga that Grealish has in all the PL games he has played.

Do hope Pepe thinks he is a KDB replacement though

Yes but did KDB ever win most fouled player in the prem?

He was a regular winner of 'most sunburnt player in an English summer' a few times, though...

[Fredo]

He can't be an understudy De Bruyne? He's not close to his level.

Replacement for Silva me thinks, they need to raise some cash to offset. Can see Gunga and Ferdinihino being a DFM next season

Fits in with Peps philosophy

Yep that’s what I think they will need to sell to cover this transfer, albeit partially.

[Fosterbloke]

He'll follow a similar trajectory to Mahrez I think.

[Scratch]

Messi to City for a couple of years, Kane to follow next year maybe?

[Corndog]

I'm not too bothered if city spunk 200 odd mil on Kane and Grealish.

Kane's goals might replace Agueros but he's certainly not worth 120 mil with his recent injury record and age.

I don't think Grealish is an improvement on what they already have.

I wouldn't want either at LFC for those prices.

Grealish to City now confirmed

[Buzzo]

Yep.

I thought Mahrez has played his part at City

Just looked on Wiki and he's played 87 games in 3 seasons and scored 27 goals. Not a bad return surely

Not bad indeed, but he was POTY with Leicester right and hasn't come close to his 17 goals and 11 assists in the league when they won it.

I guess part of that is because he's not the main man at city, he did cost a fair whack though so im not sure it could be classed as great value.

Grealish only had 6 league goals last season and whilst he only played 26 league games, he might only get that amount with City's squad.

His stats were not so different from Wijnaldums first season, very good for a central mid but not justifying a 100mil fee.

You could argue, he'll be in a better team now but as others have said, he also won't be the main man anymore. Literally everything went through him at Villa, he got the ball whenever he wanted but that will not be the case at City.
