priceyrice 123 Posted November 15, 2021 Kante for me. With him in the DM role it would allow our attacking players to play with freedom and some more surety in defence. Would be more effective in our team than a Ronaldo or Messi 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Google Bot 3,278 Posted November 15, 2021 My initial thought was Lewandowski, but then I was thinking how embarrassing it would be if we couldn't supply him balls. Plus his age is not a great investment. 🙂 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

All the Germans 1,078 Posted November 15, 2021 Agree with Kante type player. A few years ago it was Yaya Toure that I would have had. It's all very good having Messi, but if you spend most of the time in your own half, he isn't as effective. A midfielder who can defend and attack has more influence on the game if you can only have one world class player. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I didn’t think he was up to international level but he’s done well, although ‘England player of the year’ was a stretch for me. Out of the two (Rice and Phillips), I’d take Rice every time. That said, either would help us immensely. Still, we were never going to have, what? 70-80m for Rice? And we’d probably need another 30m on top of that for Foden…😂 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I’d still take Foden first but that’s probably a bit “FIFA” or something, thinking that supreme attacking talent will overcome. A more pragmatic approach would see me opt for a Rice/Kante type I suppose. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

For me he is the first name on a world eleven. HOWEVER i think Foden is the best player ive seen since Messi and Ronaldo. Pep said he is the most talented player he has ever worked with Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So £100m+. Perhaps I didn’t make that clear enough. I’d hope there is nobody that has ever watched a game of football that thinks you could buy Phil Foden for 30% of Jack Grealish.
