They'll get De Jong I'm sure of it.City looking for 2 more signings according to reports.
They've beefed up the attack with Haaland and Alvarez coming in now the reports are they want a centre mid to replace Fernandinho and also a left back.

I really think he'll be class for them. He fits what they need and I think has more to offer too. But hey I thought Grealish was going to become one of the best in the world when he signed for City and so far I've been very wrong.Philips seems to be the one they are after
Yeah I agree. I actually think if Grealish would have signed for United and Sancho for City they would have had better individual seasons. I'm not suggesting that Sancho was a bad signing or anything but I think this past year both were better fits for the opposite side of Manchester.I’m more confident about Phillips fitting in than Grealish always felt he’d struggle be interesting to see how he does in the second season.

Bud Sancho played a lot from the left and that was also where he was most effective. So yes I agree we needed a right winger but we didn't get that.Nah Grealish would have been a disaster for us we didn't need another left winger we needed a guy to play on the right.
Sancho came good in the middle of the season but like the rest drifted at the end.
I think with Haaland as the centre forward Grealish might find it a bit easier to play from that left side.

My point was that if Grealish signed for United last year and Sancho signed for City they'd have had different years. Grealish is very much an individual which is this United team in a nutshell. United wouldn't have signed Grealish to play him on the right so I'm not really sure what you're talking about.Your point was Grealish would have been good for Utd my response was he'd have had the exact same problem Sancho did which was until he was put in his best position he'd have struggled as Grealish cannot play on the right. Sancho would have been great for City though he clearly needs that full back over lapping him.
For me Sancho is another player signed without a real plan on how he's going to fit in Dortmund from memory were playing a 3-4-3 system with really attacking wing backs and Sancho would use that overlap whichever side he was on to create space.
Interested to see how ETH uses him next season.
At City I think Grealish would benefit having a proper left back outside him at City currently it feels like him and Cancelo get in each others way as both want to come inside.

And look it is fun to debate this. I just think he would have been good for United because he's an individual who makes things happen. I'm not suggesting he'd have made a huge difference at United though just that he as an individual would have had a better year.I disagree I think Sancho would have been fine at City he'd fit that side perfectly but Grealish would have been a problem at Utd I actually think he'd have been worse for us than he was at City.
I expect both to have much better seasons next year.
None of the big money signings from last season really had much impact Grealish, Sancho and Lukaku all struggled.

Yeah it does. And I suppose that's understandable. I mean Pep wants his players to play a certain way and do certain things. He wants them to pass and move. He wants them to work hard without the ball to win back possession etc.Does seem with the lads at City that it takes them a year to get to grips with it then they start looking the part.
