They have different strengths but Rice will be the perfect replacement for Gundogan. He more than has it in him to be a box to box midfielder that's capable of goals. I think Kovacic will be more of someone to fill to give Rodri a break. He wasn't always a definite starter for Chelsea at times after all.
Rice is what, 23? Gundogan was nowhere near the player he is now at that same age. And Kovacic certainly isn't a replacement for Silva.
I think West Ham want Phillips and they’ll swap those two over. Is Silva really leaving? Guardiola seems to love him.
I’ve got a feeling they are going to bid for Kane at some point this window too.
Yeh Moyes apparently loves Philips so that is an obvious one. City will probably have Kovacic, Rice, Gvardiol coming in with Philips, Walker, Bernardo Silva, Mahrez, Gundogan leaving.
They look an AM short to me, Foden will get more game time and that kid Cole Palmer looks a special talent but they probably need 1 additional AM. Haaland and Alvarez are good so don’t think they will go for Kane personally.
Silva has been wanting to leave for a couple of seasons but he's a top pro and just got on with things. Think he has his heart set on somewhere with warmer weather. Unbelievable player though, even if he can bit a bit spiteful.
reckon they will target szosboslai basically the ideal de bruyne replacement
I've seen quite a lot of him and he doesn't have De Bruyne's passing range. Alexander-Arnold would be much closer to KDB like for like, the closest I can think of, but obviously that won't happen.
not as good passing but the same long shot ability, set piece specialist
Just though this could be City’s team next season
Ederson
Akanji Ruben Dias Gvardiol
Rice Rodri
Foden De Bruyne Grealish
Haaland
Their defensive set up is now just as impressive as the attack.
You don't drop Stones from that team though.
Good as Rice is, there's not a City fan alive that would be okay with Rice taking his place.

Difficult to transition against that.
Pep realising that P+P is the way to go.

Why would they want to give their opponents an advantage playing with 10 men?
Oops good point forgot Kovacic
Ederson
Akanji Dias Gvardiol
Rice/Stones Rodri Kovacic
Foden De Bruyne Grealish
Haaland
Wouldn’t surprise me if Pep wants Rice to play as a false CB.
