Respect what Rodri has done but this feels off. When Real Madrid downplayed your biggest individual achievement, you’d expect a bit more awareness before speaking like that. Legacy at Manchester City is built on total alignment. Anything less and you’re just another great

I don’t think the issue is Rodri leaving. Top clubs can absorb that. What would concern me is if it happens alongside potential exits of Pep Guardiola, Bernardo Silva and John Stones in the same window because at that point you’re not just evolving the squad, you’re risking

If Rodri goes, he goes. Elite cycles evolve. But Nico getting reduced minutes right now is a real concern. He’s a top #6. Losing both in the same window will destabilise us at Manchester City.

Massive respect for Rodri and everything he’s delivered for Manchester City. But this is poor. Really poor. At the elite level, you don’t get the luxury of careless words because every statement carries weight. You represent the badge every time you speak. That’s why media

If Rodri leaves this summer, only three players can step into his role: - Angelo Stiller - Adam Wharton - Jerdy Schouten

In an era where players start twerking for Madrid or Barca the second a microphone is put in their face, never forget the ones who were City through and through. 🩵 - Vincent Kompany - David Silva - Sergio Aguero - Pablo Zabaleta - Fernandinho - Kevin De Bruyne - Bernardo Silva

“Dad, how good was De Bruyne for City?”

Omar Marmoush, what in the world.

I feel for Phil Foden. Constantly scanning, showing, demanding the ball and getting starved by a backline obsessed with sterile circulation. Harry Maguire and Jordan Henderson dictating tempo at walking pace is structurally killing England’s progression. No verticality. No

That challenge from Ronald Araujo on Phil Foden is disgraceful. No control, no timing, zero regard for player safety. Just reckless out of control defending and this is in a friendly.

There was a calm to Riyad Mahrez that you can’t coach. No rush. No panic. Just total control in moments where everything is on the line. As a Man City fan, you felt it. The game could be chaotic, tight, suffocating and then Mahrez would receive, pause and decide it. That’s not

Our attackers in all comps this season: • Haaland: 43 apps, 30 goals, 7 assists • Foden: 41 apps, 10 goals, 5 assists • Cherki: 41 apps, 9 goals, 10 assists • O’Reilly: 44 apps, 8 goals, 5 assists • Semenyo: 17 apps, 7 goals, 2 assists • Reijnders: 43 apps, 7 goals, 6

City Xtra Matteo Moretto Tonali is a great runner. He is not a great controller. That matters because an IP 3-2-5 lives and dies on the double pivot. If your base midfielder gives you volatility, backward passing and 50/50 duels, you are are buying risk at £100m.

It’d be peak Arsenal if their national team snubbed them for the World Cup and they lost the Premier League too. Classic.

No other midfielder in world football combines Rodri’s cognitive dominance, structural control and line breaking precision. He doesn’t just dictate the game from deep, he defines the role of the modern #6. Irreplaceable. 🇪🇸
